[QUOTE="zyklon, post: 1121684, member: 12075"] Fluorescents are the only job for cattle sheds. Stick one in each bay on each half of the shed. So a 8 bay x 5 bay would have 16 Twin 58w Flourescents at a total of 1856w. I have seen sheds like that size with just one twin Flourescent in each bay hanging from chain down the middle of the shed. Lit the shed evenly and light was good enough. Do you really need it lit up like daylight cause we only spend less than 20mins in our big sheds twice a day to give a quick clean during milking and then we turn them off. Oh, stay away from High frequency flourescents in sheds. Expensive crap and they don't last. Our local wholesalers wouldn't sell us HF if they knew we were fitting them in agricultural sheds. LED versions of these are great but some tend to only have a working life of 1500/2000hrs depending on brand which is strange. [/QUOTE]
