I am sure someone has asked in the past but wondered if anyone has good recommendations for bright LED bay lighting? Looking to upgrade our lights in one location.
Ideal solution would be a dimmable LED that can be controlled via a motion sensor so we can reduce electric costs when no one is around?

These look to be a perfect match to what you want to accomplish.

IMO Ceiling lighting for SS Bay is not optimal . Reason being is the Customer needs illumination as much down the side of the car as they do on the top of the car. So, you would have to mount the ceiling light at the sides of the bay and they then might not throw enough light half way across the bay so that the entire side would be illuminated.

I agree with Earl, plus if you look at his link and the cost it would be hard not to go with them.

Earl- do you have a single bay? I have 3 tandem bays, would you suggest 6 or 8 per bay? (3 or 4 on each side) thanks!
I could only suggest 8. I figure if you put one in the center it will do more between cars where you don't need it as opposed to down the length of each. I guess you could experiment if conduit runs down each side wall. Try 3 on each and see how it works. If not ood switch it to 4 on each sidewall.

Ditto in G&G. I recently installed 2 lights in each bay. They are expensive but I like them a lot.
