    Major redraft on shop photometrics.

    You're gonna like this. Instant on / zero warm up time to 90% lumen output and you could use an oc sensor with 'em if you wanted. No issue w/ height differences between hi-bay and low-bay applications, etc.

    Almost finished w/ the gory details for your layout. This will be the industry standard in 5 years and I got a smoking deal on 'em. I'd have suggested same for GC's shop except that so many of his were existing that needed to be matched. Starting w/ a clean slate like you are is going to pay off in the long run. I'll have a pm to you in about 10 mins. :thumb
