    shop light recommendations

    40' x 60' x 12' walls, cathedral ceiling, walls and ceiling lined with white metal. i will only use LED, just want good quality at fair price. i bought an exterior LED porch light with sensor at lowes for $80. bought something similar on ebay for $30 and like them just as good or better.
