I have a 24x70 (x18' high) machine shed that I am turning into a barn. I already put a 100A service in it and am thinking about lighting. My plan right now is to put in a couple high pressure sodium vapor lamps (100w) that stay on all the time (they take about 60secs to warm up). I will also be putting in some windows for sunlight.
It would probably be good to have something to supliment that. I first thought flourecent but the barn will not be heated so they probably would work very poorly if at all in the winter. Incandecent would be an option, but I would probably need several 300w bulbs to light it. It's such a big place. Any recommendations?
