Many times it becomes quite difficult to decide what type of LED fixture to choose and install, what the appropriate wattage or power is for my shop, building or application. What a good lighting layout or the appropriate spacing to get a good and efficient distribution and light spread is, these are very important aspects to consider when planning to upgrade from old lighting or for a brand new building.
