Lighting in SS bays

[Skyler]

What is a desired lumens rating for Led wall packs in a SS bay?

 

[MEP001]

I'd say 8000 each. I would go with ceiling fixtures instead of wall packs in the bays.

We used Jarvis petroleum canopy lighting, 2 per bay, 14680 lumens each.

Which ones?

Positioned how?

I like 20,000 lumens in my ss bays and 30,000 in my IBAs.

That is a lot of light. How tall are your ceilings? Do you have them offset diagonally towards the corners?

Why not wall packs? I thought that lighting more of the sides of cars made more sense than lighting more of the roof.

We are getting ready to raise our roof and will have two wall pack caddy-corner from each other. The ceilings are going to be almost 15' high. Usually wall packs are up pretty high on the wall but I'm wondering if they should be down some with such tall walls. Currently our ceiling is about 10' and we have two vapor proof twin T-5 fixtures offset caddy-corner. The bulbs are more than 6 years old (they were in there when we bought the wash) and I'm sure they have diminished some of their 4,800 lumens per bulb output but seem fairly bright still. Of the few of you guys that have really tall ceilings how high do you have the wall packs?

I have a wash with 17 foot ceilings and the wall packs are around 10 feet high.

It could be my eyes, my right one was injured badly by a tennis ball, but wall packs glare. Light from above doesn't.

My ceilings are 18' with ceiling mounted LEDs on motion detectors. 4 lights per bay, 6 in my RV bay, One light per bay always on at night the rest come on with motion. At first, I didn't think the motion detectors were working because the bays were fully lit with just the one light on.

I have had good compliments on these wall packs Lightdot 4 Pack 70W LED Wall Pack Lights with Dusk to Dawn Photocell, 10500Lm 5000K Daylight IP65 Waterproof Wall Mount Outdoor Security Lighting Fixture, Energy Saving Upto 2600KW*4/5Yrs(5Hrs/Day) - Amazon.com
This wall pack is 70 watt LED If I used 4 per bay it would be 55 watt, have several years on them and no complaints. I think motion sensors are a smart addition, but I have not added any yet.

New construction standards, motion detectors are required on all interior lighting in commercial buildings. I was concerned about the bays looking dark with only one light on but, they're plenty bright.
