Lighting Standards

[Harry A. Bruce]

Hello,
Just found this site and signed up.
I'm trying to get some budgetary numbers together as i am planning to relocate my plant to Georgia.
I am pretty sure there are published standards for lighting in industrial (factory floor) settings so I would like to know what I should be looking at in terms of lumens and, if possible, a round number to use for lighting cost per square foot by diffferent types of fixtures (say flourescent vs sodium vapor) and even better would be some round information concerning maintenance and cost comparisons.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Bump for a second look by Georgia contractors.

Andy, these are some questions that can best be answered by the contractor you hire; it'll be easier to determine the type of lighting you need by knowing what exactly will be going on under them and by having a set of prints to look at to lay them out properly. As for getting the lumens across the floor correct, the easiest way is to load the plans up in a software program like lithonia's visual. What part of Georgia are you thinking about moving to?
