My 30x40x10 shop has six 8 foot T8 flourescent fixtures. They are arranged in two rows, each row 7-1/2 feet from the side wall. (In other words, 25% of the way in from each side.) I have them switched so that I can use just the two middle fixtures, just the four outer fixtures or all six. Four lights are usually good enough to work by, but I run all six anytime I need to see well.

I got the T8 fixtures at Home Depot for about $43 each (about four years ago). Don't confuse these fixtures with the slightly more expensive commercial T12 fixtures also carried by HD. The T8 fixtures are supposed to be more efficient than the T12 units.

Although the T8 fixtures work well in cold temperatures, I haved them backed up by four 150 watt halogen lights. When it gets cold, I use the halogens until the the flourescents have a chance to warm up.
