I put up porcelain fixtures and "daylight" 27W (100W equivalent) screw in bulbs all around on the posts. I split the room and put 1/2 on one switch and the other half on another switch. It worked good enough to see around the barn but not bright enough for me to change my breaks. Maybe would have been bright enough but there were shadows since they were wall mounted and the lights on the other wall were on the other side of the car. Then I went with a high bay LED fixture (14' ceiling) I could get for cheap at the supply house. I laid them out in that pattern and split them up with two more switches. Plenty bright in there now but I can just flip one of the first switches on just to go in and grab something if I want.
