Lighting for 6m x 6m Shed?

Titan double garage sized shed for storage and workshop. 6m x 6m, 2.4m high at the sides, 2.9m high at the top.

We’re going to DIY an epoxy floor, and we’ve got insulation… but what about lighting?

I’ll have proper 240v power. I’ll probably have some task lights and maybe a led strip for the work bench, but what about for the main lighting?

I was thinking about maybe a high bay light like this. On paper it maybe has enough lumens with just one light, but maybe I need 2 or even 4 for coverage?

Any other ideas?

Shed pictured is just an example, not my shed. The elevations show the design of my actual shed (we’ve since added a rear personal door.)

FM9 has more outputs than you realise...

https://preview.redd.it/5oajcxnmbuah1.png?width=1263&format=png&auto=webp&s=0388f76683220c3c4b331cb16606b059a0b171a2

The FM9 has 3 outputs. For me, 1 goes to IEMs, 2 goes to front of house, 3 goes to my on-stage amp if I have one. I like running stereo, and I like having front of house on a separate volume knob so I can keep sound guys happy without messing up my IEM mix. Done it this way for years.

Decided I wanted to try and use the four cable method to add my Kraken MK2 real world preamp into the FM9's loop. I'm using input 2 for the input from my Hog 2, but I have one spare input... but no spare output to use as a send.

...or do I...?

A stereo output is really just two mono outputs, isn't it?

So I split my signal after drive pedals, and send it to Out 3. I use the row controls in the Out 3 block to pan Row 4 all the way right. Right is now my send, I connect it to my amp input.

From the amp, I connect the FX Send into my In 3 Left port. It comes back into the chain and gets mixed with my emulated amps.

Now finally, I split my signal again right before the cab sim, and send it to Out 3 as well. I use the row controls, and pan Row 3 all the way left. Left is now my return, I connect it to the amp FX return.

It looks kinda crazy on the editor, but it works perfectly with no cross talk. I now effectively have 4 outputs, and so was able to 4CM in my real amplifier without changing my rig's configuration otherwise. My Out 3 knob needs to stay dimed, but I can control the amp stage volume with the master on the Kraken.

I thought someone might find that amusing or inspiring.

Meet our lovely doggo Solomon, or Solo. He’s a rescue, and was apparently found living wild with his mum, a course haired Jack Russel, in an abandoned house in Broken Hill, Australia, with a full two litters of puppies. The father is unknown, but he weighs twice as much as his mum, so I assume it was a bigger dog.

He’s very clever, but in a different way to our other dog (a pure bred Jack Russel, also pictured). Our JRT required lots of training and is very smart but also stubborn, while Solo seems to understand what I want almost automatically, with very little training. He has exhibited some traits of a herding working dog; he seems to have this natural instinct to heard larger dogs or animals.

Any idea what kind of dog he is? To quote Aesop: “What kinda dog is that?”

He’s such a great dog, incredibly loyal, incredibly loving, always happy and perky, so kind (and submissive) to his much smaller JRT brother, and always by your side. 10/10, would Solomon again.
