Outbuilding Construction... and there was Light

The electrician finished up his work and we now have full power in the shop building. Currently there are three lights on the lighting circuit. Two flat panel LEDs under each of the lofts and a single porcelain fixture in the center of the ceiling (about 13' up) that has a Quad Burst LED light in it. This is a variation of the "corn-cob" LED lights but in this case there are four panels that extend out from the center and focus the light down rather than to the sides and straight down like the most "corn-cob" lights do.

There are three 20 amp circuits powering 10 outlets. That should cover everything that we plan on using in this building. There is a possibility that some tools will remain in the garage because we don’t use them very often.

Of course now the pressure is on to finishing the green house and being able to move on to finishing the inside of the shop.

A couple of before pictures, the only light here is the partially open door and the skylight. Really not bad.

And the same looking to the north. The door on the left will be the main door and the light coming through it is very limited because its only 4' away from the back wall of the garage.

Doors closed and lights on. Note how the flat panels provide really good light under the north end loft. The Quad Burst LED is providing excellent coverage even though its 13' up and it provides light into the top of each loft, although not perfect by any means.

And the same looking to the southeast. We won't have any problem working in the shop at night and with the rafters in place we can easily add more light if we need to.
