They are hung at 13', and it is possible to shoot professional quality (TV studio) video without additional lighting.
They are a little bright when first turned on, but once my eyes get used to them, it's not a problem. I chose the 3500K temperature because it is also what we have in our house, so color decisions at the shop match the appearance at home.

Edit: I forgot to say: I have 10 of them in a 1,400 sq. ft. space.
Good link - I priced them the way I would want them and the 6 bulb fixture is about $20 more than the HD 4 bulb fixture.

Since my garage is my shop it would be nice to have a similar setup except I think those fixtures were like $300+ each.
How high is your "bay"? T5 HO in my opinion are to bright for less than 10'. Try buying a 2 bulb T5 from HD and hang it, http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lithonia-...10PS/203137160, only $40 and you could probably return it.
If the T5's are good the link Kevin supplied seems like good prices, especially since over $500 seems to be free shipping.
