    X4 on the Hyperlite UFO style.
    I have 9 and you can get a tan in my 50X50. I have them on 3 rows of 3 and on 3 switches and usually only use 6 at a time.
    I think I got them on Amazon for less than $100

      UFO lights! Electrician installed 4 inside our 40x60. Not sure of the specs on these but they're bright.

        I've wired up a bunch of shops and the best lights I've found to eliminate shadows in corners and up high and in budget are 8' 4lt Keystone fixtures with Keystone daylight led lamps. I get them at Elliott Electric supplyhouse. Appr. $65 for each one (fixture and lamps). Most of these are ranging from 13-17' high. If ceiling is higher and not too concerned about shadows in corner and up high then the UFO are something to look at but I'm not personally a fan of them.

          Running these in my 24 x 40 shop. Its amazing how bright they are. Lights should be cheap to buy and cheap to power.
          This is exactly what I have. I couldn’t remember the brand when I posted. A year in and no issues.

              I just put 10 of these lights in a 40X60 pole barn and I think I could do brain surgery in there now. It is going to be awesome come time change.

                I did 12 hyperlite 150w ufo's in my 55x70.

                I have additional lighting in the corner where my tools snd workbenches are going. 4 of the 4' led lights on a separate circuit from my 2 main lighting circuits.

                The 2 circuits that run my 12 hyperlites have outlets that the lights plug into. I oversized the wires and breakers so down the center of the shop I could mount 4 cord reels hanging from the beams.

                    Another vote for Primelights. I put the 3 bulb Bolt model in my 50' x 30' barn and the 2 bulb Bolt model in my 3 car garage for our newly built house last year. Super easy to install, free shipping and reasonably priced.

                    The Bolt 3 Lamp LED Shop light utilizes 3 LED lamps in a clear color to produce 9,300 LED lumens in 5000k Daylight White. Easy to install and painted white to match any commercial or residential space alike, the Bolt 3 Lamp LED shop light is great for use in garages, barns, workshops, recreational spaces, warehouses, or anywhere else where professional-grade lighting is required. Simply wire in the Bolt 3 Lamp LED light, mount it with the easy-to-use keyhole slots, and your space will be ready to relax, play, or work in.

                              I don’t know how big your shop is but mine is 30x50 with 16’ sides and I only need (8) 2’x2’ lights to make it plenty bright.
