Dream shop

My dream shop is well underway. Drywall done. Electrical pulled. Here is the plan. Again asking those in the know for suggestions. The black square are led cans for general lighting.

I am installing a V 3000 Oneida dust collector so the drawing is for the engineers to suggest ducting.
Send your drawing to Oneida, years ago they would provide recommended ducting for free when you’re purchasing from them, I suspect they still will. BTW - your going to love the V3000
 
Cans would not be my first choice for shop lighting, either.
Cans are my preference for general lighting. 16 in a 500sf area with brighter bulbs are what I want for general shop lighting since I have 10’ ceilings. With 2 additional over the lathe for a total of 18. I will add more concentrated light after I get things situated and determine what additional is needed. And cans don’t gather dust.

I suspect every wood worker didn’t start out with all the lights they ever needed and added as need arose.
