Square feet.
Sorry bout that, forgot the '

Paid a visit to the local Menards yesterday to look at lights.
Seems all the newer LED fixtures have non replaceable bulbs. If one bulb goes south it's new fixture time!
I could use my old crappy fixtures and add ballast bypass bulbs for about $15 ea, but I can get a new 2 bulb 4' LED fixture 2 bulb unit for $35. 8 footers with 4-4' bulb units were $80, again, no replacement bulbs. Save $15 and buy 2-4' units instead of an 8' and space the apart some.
And I really don't want to hang the old ones back up on a new ceiling though.
and ma wind up springing for 8 of the 4 footers and space them 4 down each side about 4' in from the wall

I did pick up 2 of the $35 units just to see how they would work where I plan on putting the mill.
These are hard wire units, I can install short runs of conduit between fixtures. The cheaper ones have wires and plug ins to link them together. But then you have all the extra wire to deal with as they have special 3 prong receptacles on one end and a length of wire on the other end.
