I had a polebarn built to house the camper and a few farm implements-it is 40 wide by 64 long and 12' sidewalls. I wanted led lights, but most were too expensive for my taste. I ended up using 6 of this light from Home Depot:
led light
My trusses are on 4' centers and I wanted a light to fit between the trusses so they wouldn't hang down below and lessen the headroom. I just ran a 2x4 across the tops of the trusses and attached the light to the bottom of that 2x4. I ran 14 gauge wire to receptacles at each light (15A breaker) and plug the light into the receptacles. I ran 2 rows of 3 lights. It makes enough light to see even to work by if the work isn't too detailed.
