This/These
I bought the lamps only and used my current 4foot fixture and cut out the ballast and wired to the 110v. The lamps I bought from light bulb depot. For $22.
what city you located in?I have 4 LED high bays in my 30 x 40 shop and they put out about 70 foot candles avg or 26,300 lumens each.
High bays are shown here LED High Bay Light, High Output - 220W and are bout $220.00/each. That's cheap considering they replace 8 400-watt HID lights (14,000 lumens each) and they only pull half the wattage.
Payback (energy savings) at $0.11/kWh takes about 4 years. From then on your saving about $105.00/year on electricity usage. That saving is based on using the shop every day for an hour. Saving increases the more you use your lights.

Led attracts FAR fewer insects when the shop is open at night
What next...bluetooth speaker toilets...?

Live North of KC.what city you located in?
I have 10 4' LED lights from Costco. Does anyone have a recommendation for spacing? My shop is 25' wide and I believe 30' deep.
I was also thinking about putting them on the walls at a 45 degree angle. Thoughts?
Picked up my daughter one of thes too last weekend. Bluetooth shower head.

no led`s yet , but I have two 4 ft. installed on a 45 in the middle of my 16x39 garage. I like ! than two on each end of the car in the traditional manner, w/ other lights over my lathe and tables. Still dark working inside the car.I have 10 4' LED lights from Costco. Does anyone have a recommendation for spacing? My shop is 25' wide and I believe 30' deep.

2 rows of 5 evenly spaced. Chain hang so they are level. Keep the short end about a foot from the ceiling.
So on the short side of your building, you would start 6.5' from wall and install one then 12' space then install one. 6.5' * 12' * 6.5'
Long side would be 3 foot from the end then 6' on centers. 3'* 6' * 6' * 6'* 6'* 3'
* represents the light.

You may need to add a couple for task lighting in certain areas, but that layout will give you uniform lighting through out.
Thanks! Right now I have them going the other way (long ways) vs what you show. But they are in two rows, I evenly spaced them, but I started 4' away from the wall (read that somewhere else) and mounted them flush to the ceiling (no chains)
I think I am lacking light in the middle of the shop, where the car is. I was thinking about adding a third row.
Most of those store bought LED strips do not put out a lot of lumens, so your probably right in thinking you need more.

CSS , LOLBecause of my advanced age I have developed CSS (Can't See Sh¥t).
I am going to build a vertical stand with 3 48" led shop lights on wheels to roll around as I complete body repairs and begin the final paint prep.
Has anyone else done this?
Damn that shop looks awesome!!! Just curious- Did you noticed the reduced light output (105,200 vs 112,000 lumens)? Is the quality of light better than the HID's?
No as a matter of fact, HID drop to about 70% efficiency very soon after they are first fired up, meaning that HID is really putting out about 78,000 lumens. LED is way brighter, holds its lumen output longer, and has better beam spread. Not to mention there are no damaging UV rays from this style of LED. It looks like I increased my lighting output
Also, how'd you figure the 4 yr payback? Using your scenario (1 hr/day), I got about a 9-1/2 yr payback- $880 / (2.32 kW savings * 365 hrs/yr * $0.11/kWh)
