Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ideal Pole Barn Lighting Layout?
The ideal pole barn lighting layout starts with a professional lighting plan that shows your physical layout, fixture placement, and precise foot candle measurements. This plan reveals how balanced your lighting will be across the entire space. We calculate the average-to-minimum ratio, where lower numbers indicate more uniform illumination throughout your pole barn.

What is the Ideal 30×40 Pole Barn Lighting Layout with 10 to 12 Foot Mounting Height?
For 30 foot candles in a 1,200 square foot space, we recommend 4 to 6 UFO fixtures at 120 watts each. At this lower ceiling height, anything above 100 watts of LED per fixture typically creates excessive brightness and uncomfortable glare for most applications.
What is the Ideal 40×60 Pole Barn Lighting Layout with 12 to 15 Foot Mounting Height?
For this 2,400 square foot space, 6 to 8 fixtures at 100 watts each deliver ideal 30 foot candle illumination. If you need brighter lighting, 8 fixtures at 160 watts will provide 50+ foot candles for detailed work applications.
How Many Lumens Do I Need in a Pole Barn?
Storage applications need 10 to 20 lumens per square foot, while active workspaces require 30 to 50 lumens per square foot. Remember that 1 lumen per square foot equals 1 foot candle, so a 2,000 square foot barn needs 20,000 to 40,000 total lumens for storage use.
How Do I Properly Light Up a New Pole Barn?
Start with a professional lighting plan before purchasing any fixtures. We’ve completed hundreds of pole barn lighting designs and provide detailed plans showing exact fixture placement and expected light levels. Simply provide your barn dimensions, ceiling height, and brightness requirements for a custom lighting solution.
What is the Difference Between Linear, UFO, and Canopy Fixtures? What is Best for a Pole Barn?
- UFO fixtures are compact, waterproof LED High Bay lights with high impact ratings, ideal for harsh environments.
- Linear panel fixtures offer superior light distribution in lower ceiling space,s but aren’t waterproof.
- Canopy lights work best for 8 to 12 foot ceiling heights with direct mounting applications.
Why Do I Need a Professional Lighting Plan for My Pole Barn?
A professional lighting plan prevents costly mistakes by showing exact fixture placement and predicted light levels before installation. You’ll see dark spots, over-lit areas, and optimal fixture spacing to achieve uniform illumination. This eliminates guesswork and ensures you purchase the right number of fixtures the first time.
How Much Money Can a Lighting Plan Save Me?
Most customers save 20% to 40% on fixture costs by avoiding over-purchasing through proper planning. A lighting plan typically costs $200 to $400 but prevents buying unnecessary fixtures that can cost $1,000 to $3,000 extra. You also avoid labor costs for relocating improperly placed fixtures.
What Information Do You Need to Create My Lighting Plan?
We need your exact barn dimensions, ceiling or mounting height, intended use, and desired brightness level. Photos of the space, electrical panel location, and any obstacles like equipment or storage areas help us create the most accurate plan. Plans are typically completed within 2 to 3 business days.
