<VV> HELP!! (garage lighting info) (Permitting)

[Taruffi57 at aol.com]

Well, this one is 1475 sq. ft. inside, and even though drawn as a simple  
pole barn, cost about $750 for the Architect and near $500 for the Permit.   
I'm adding walls, doors & windows - after the fact.  
 
It's kinda like driving on the Government owned roads these days.  You  
can't get on them w/o anxiety over whether or not you will commit some  
infraction that will run your points up and cost you a ridiculous amount of  money. 
 AND, there are 10 times as many cops around here as there would  have been 
in the 1960's.  I made a U-turn today that I have made legally -  many 
times, and a cop appeared out of nowhere and pulled me over.  He said  they just 
changed that turn so as to not permit U-turns.  I saw NO sign nor  painting 
on the pavement saying that I couldn't do it.  He let me off, but  once 
again, I felt that Lawyers were dictating control over my competence and  
intelligence and ability to operate my car.

I'm glad I live in Texas and out in the country.  I  built my own house and
1750 sq. ft. shop in '87, did my own wiring and  plumbing and if I want to
change anything I don't have to ask  anyone.

Joe,

Seth is absolutely correct.  LEED code is  being enacted all the time.  If a
professional did the plans for your  permit then stick with what they show
lighting wise at least until you get  through your final inspection.  You 
can
alway add additional, plug in,  lighting later--especially hooded lights on
the walls for lower lighting  for us more seasoned people.

Joe - Be careful  with added lighting. Many code enforcement folks and the
building  inspectors during the construction sign offs may be enforcing
limited   lighting  guidelines for energy usage restrictions. You can wire
for  additional lighting, with extra gang plugs in the ceiling areas,  then,
after final inspection sign off, install additional lighting  yourself. Play
it safe,  but plan ahead! I would add additional  small-tube 4-foot 
fixtures.
These have  easy available bulbs and also  good cold-start performance. -
Seth

My  blueprint shows minimal fluorescent lighting, but I  want bright   
overheads in there.  I know nothing of what's  available.  Cost  is No.  1
consideration.  I'll need  good lighting over work  benchs as well.

Thanks for any  advice.
