I work for an electrical contractor and we install two different styles
typically:
The first is an HID (high intensity discharge) "highbay" fixture. Typically
for ceilings from 16ft through 30ft. Most common diameters of reflectors
are 22 inches for acrylic and 16-20 inches for aluminum. There are also
"lowbay" fixtures for ceilings 12 ft - 16 ft. These typically have larger
aluminum reflectors 24 inches through 30 inches that have an attached
acrylic diffuser protruding 2-4 inhses from the bottom of the reflector.
These types of fixtures have been the main lighting source for industrial
and warehouses for decades and are reaching the end of their life cycle.
The most current practical fixture is flourescent (LED is getting there but
now quite ready for main stream yet). All are pretty close in style to the
next one, with the only difference being the number of lamps and the
size/wattage of lamp. These fixtures typically are 1.5 ft to 2 ft wide by 4
ft long rectangular and about 6 inches tall. Narrower models have 4 lamps
that are 4 ft long each. Wider models typically have 6 of these lamps)
I am looking for ideas on how to produce lights similar to the style you see on the roof of warehouses, warehouse style retailers etc. The only stipulation is that they must be minifig scale and must have a single stud on top as the attachment point (...)
