What is the Ideal Pole Barn Lighting Layout?
The ideal pole barn lighting layout is a detailed lighting plan. It shows the physical layout of the pole barn, along with the installed lights and foot candle measurements on the reported plan. It will also show you how balanced the lighting is (average / min). The lower this number is, the more balanced the light is across the pole barn.
What is the Ideal 30×40 Pole Barn Lighting Layout with 10 to 12 Foot Mounting Height?
The ideal layout to achieve 30-foot candles is between 4 to 6 120-watt LED UFO fixtures within the space. Since the ceiling height is relatively low, anything brighter than 100 Watts LED may be too much.
What is the Ideal 40×60 Pole Barn Lighting Layout with 12 to 15 Foot Mounting Height?
The ideal layout to achieve 30-foot candles is between 6 to 8 100-watt LED UFO fixtures within the space. 8 160-watt UFO fixtures would provide 50+ foot candles within the space.
How Many Lumens Do I Need in a Pole Barn?
That depends on your needs for the space. If you are using it to store things, then 10 to 20 foot candles are more than enough. If you’re using the space to work, then you might want to consider 30 to 50 foot candles.
How Do I Properly Light up a New Pole Barn?
Start with a lighting plan. We have done hundreds of lighting plans for our pole barn customers. Let us know the size of the space, mounting height, and how bright you want it and we will send you a lighting plan that specifically outlines your needs.
What is the Difference Between Linear, UFO, and Canopy Fixtures? What is Best for a Pole Barn?
A UFO (compact and round) light is an LED High Bay fixture. If you are familiar with metal halide indoor lighting, this is a great option for you. They are very robust with a high impact rating and are also waterproof.
A linear panel fixture is a replacement for fluorescent fixtures if you like that style. They are not as robust as UFOs, and most are not waterproof. By nature and design, they offer better distribution than UFOs, especially in lower ceiling spaces.
Canopy lights are designed to be ceiling mounted and work at very low ceiling heights. They are good for ceilings that are between 8 and 12 feet tall.
