I've been giving this some thought, I may try it later. The building only
has windows on two sides, several walls and shelves of material block large
portions of the interior from direct sunlight. "rows of overhead point
lights, emulating the fluorescent tubes" is the part I'm struggling with.
There are approximately 14 rows of 10, 8 foot double fluorescent tubes, with
most pieces of equipment having one or more additional light fixtures
hanging from the ceiling. Any suggestions on how many point (or maybe spot)
lights per fixture I should use?
