Probably a different house, am usually a very private person, I do not think the house or cars have appeared anywhere else. But Rennlist is a special place - even over 10 years ago, you would ask a car question, and a RL community member would answer almost immediately, and would usually go out of their way to help. RL has been helpful to me - very good community. So here's hoping for less market value threads, and less my-car-is-better-than-yours thread, and more of the roots of RL - enthusiast sharing their common passion. Some genuinely good people on these forums.

As I posted earlier, I am building a 4,200 sq. ft. shop with ceiling height going from 12' to 18' and I was struggling with finding a high quality lighting supplier.
I was looking for dimmable LED, high bay style, in 3,000K range (warm light). My guy found a US owned/operated/produced supplier. They are called Luxdynamics, and provided us with an engineer to do light calculations.
I will post photos in about a month when the lights are up...and I will post up my feedback...
^Are you working on the cars at all? Because I went 5600K LED (daylight) instead of 3000K. Much easier on the eyes if you are doing things like building motors and such, which I do a lot of.
Definitely try different color temperature lights before you make your decision. Everyone's going to have the light they prefer. I find 5,600 (or any of the blue/daylight part of the spectrum) very difficult to work in. In my garage, I tried to get all my bulbs in the 2,700K range. 'Surgical lighting' is misunderstood to be bright, cold and uniform -- without any focus. In fact it's usually 4K or less, with a specific, focused pool of light -- which in a garage would mean focused lighting in the different work areas.
But some people would hate the warm light in my garage. You just have to know where your eyes would be happy.
You can see, in my shop the lighting is specific to each work space, not just lining the ceiling.

Thanks! How's the 'room' inside? feel like plenty (I know, it's never enough) So you're 42' wide...we're looking at 40' for 3 car with 3 separate doors. Can't decide if we should center everything or offset to one side leaving more room on one side than the other.
Threw this together on Excel....not to scale (especially the stairs). just need an idea to give the builder so they can put together real plans. Do you have running water in there?
Not a US product based on my research. Due to the height and the difficulty of my installation, I wanted US/Canada made product (no disrespect intended to anyone). I was able to speak with the owner of this company...

Good input. But I cannot stand the "white/blue" light and prefer warm light, additionally the sections labeled as "4" is where I will have 2 lifts, and the "bulge" on the right is my "work area" and it will be overlit. There will also be other hanging lights labeled as 6/7/8.
I am going overlight and then dim down. I put together the attached "mickey mouse" drawings as my input to a real engineer when designed the lighting. I am like Jack, I am going with the temperature I want and focused lighting.
