The answer to this question will always depend on the application you need lighting for. If the place is going to be just for storage and if only regular illumination is needed, not too bright, then you can go with around 47fc, if the ceiling height is at 10ft to 13ft you can use 1pc 100w Hero or Radar Series High Bay Light, and as you can research at hi-hyperlite.com 1pc 100w Hero or Radar Series High Bay Light provides 14000 lumens that is to say 140 lumens per watt. If the ceiling height is going to be at 14ft to 17ft we would suggest you to use 1pc 150w Hero or Radar Series 21000 lumens, if the ceiling is going to be at 20ft high you can use 1pc 200w Hero or Radar Series which provides 28000 lumens, if the ceiling height is 21ft or higher we would suggest you to use a 250w UFO high bay light Radar or Hero Series which provides 35000 lumens.

If the area is going to be used for detailing, education or you need more light to see colors accurately the best suggestion is to get around 55ft to 60fc on the floor. Always, in order to know the quantity number of fixtures necessary to lit up a room the first thing you have to take into consideration is the size of the mentioned area. You would need to measure the width and length plus the ceiling height. With the width and length you can get the square footage you just need to multiply one by the other. With this square footage value you can get the minimum lumens required to lit up an area if you multiply it by 70.
