So, I'm trying to figure out a reasonable solution for lighting the second floor of my shop. This space will be largely storage, but I will using some machines up there (lathe, gang drill presses, other lighter equipment). I currently have recessed lights planned for the small bit of flat ceiling at the ridge (shown in orange), but no solution for farther from the ridge. I suspect there's less need for lighting, as I get closer to the eaves (only the middle of second floor is tall enough for work space, eaves will be more storage), but I still don't want it dead dark in the corners.
Ideas?
Wouldn't mind ideas for first floor as well. I've used fluorescent tube fixtures in all past shops, but this one being a little nicer (beaded and stained open joist, traditionally cross-braced, with white painted underside of floor above), I do hate mucking it up with my typical fluorescent fixtures.
