That's right, after two years with only two clamp lights over the lathe, I finally installed lights. I have been on a mission to get my shop functional, for both turning and furniture making. Over the last week I got the ceiling joists in and today I finished installing the lights. Woohoo!!
I picked up some used commercial lights very cheaply. I had to replace the ballasts so they could run on 120V, but those were easy to find used at a great price.
I will need to add a few more HD shop lights down the middle and over the lathes (which are out from the wall right now), but for general lighting it's a good start!

P.S. The pics make it look brighter than it is in real life.
