  • 1.  Lighting Question

    Posted 10-20-2023 08:40 AM
    I am an independent exhibit designer working for a client who is retrofitting a circa 1940s US Army Armory building for an exhibit on their nearly 100 year old festival. The ceiling is a tray-shaped ceiling with the angle starting about 12' off the floor. We plan to install a hanging grid track lighting system at about 12' off the floor.. Is there a standard dimension for each grid square? 8' x 8'? 6'x6'?
    Thanks very much,
