      I am involved in a charitable project, replacing some 36 to 44 2′ x 4′ drop in light fixtures into a drop down ceiling. Trying to acquire the correct lights and am getting an array of suggestions inlcding parabolic 2 and 3 tube , fluorescent 2 and 4 tube . Just want to get the best at reasonable cost. Can anyone offer suggestions as to what to use? ceiling has a 2 to 12 grade, lighting needs will be for community functions and need not be adequate for extensive reading. Any suggestions on what we might want to consider would be appreciated. Many thanks,

      Since this is a commercial project, permits will normally be required for this work, and permits can normally only be issued with stamped drawings submitted by the design professional.

      The minimum lighting loads for commercial buildings and rooms within building is regulated by the electric code.

      The design professional is responsible for making sure the lighting equipment will provide enough VA per SF as determined by code, is appropriate for the use of the building, and can meet the general design needs.

      Consult the project design professional who should have the specific luminaires already determined on the released plans.
