So what type of lighting are you going to install? Our farm shop had old fluorescent that my uncle got from Lord only knows where. Well, over the last 30 years a lot of it has died. So, dad got a bunch of used 4 ft fixtures from a drugstore that was being renovated. Now most of it has died. He even bought some new 8' fluorescent fixtures and those are flaky. A while back I bought a bunch of 4' LED fixtures at Costco, but haven't been able to coordinate getting my electrician buddy to replace them. We switched to all LED at work this past winter and are quite pleased. According to the power company those lights will pay for themselves in a few years. Of course in a home shop, the light bill is fairly negligible. I often pay more just for the power to be turned on than we actually use for that month.
