Thank you for your question! For your 32’ x 64’ barn with 16’ ceilings, eight of these LED canopy lights should provide approximately 25 foot-candles (FC) of average illumination, based on our lighting estimate. 25 FC provides a good level of general-purpose lighting, suitable for walking around, storing equipment, and performing routine activities in a barn. It should provide comfortable visibility without being excessively bright. If you primarily use the barn for storage or general activities, eight fixtures should be sufficient. However, if you plan to use the space as a workshop or perform detailed mechanical work, you may prefer brighter lighting in those areas.
Actual brightness and uniformity will depend on fixture placement, mounting height, and interior conditions.
