The product I am looking at is Impact™ Series
It's a 20,000 Lumen light source. The reason I am looking to this is to light a large warehouse that has 25-foot ceilings. I am guessing about 5000 sq feet. I only need the center 3000ish feet to be lit up. The warehouse has the typical T12 fluorescent bulbs of which not all of them work. It has a couple of skylights and big roll-up doors, but since its Winter shooting photos in there after 4pm is really hard.
I am shooting action. In order to get 1/500 of a second, you need between 8000 and 10,000 ISO and between 1.4 and 1.8. Its really depends on which part of the warehouse you are in. Some sections are a little brighter than others.
I have been experimenting with on-camera flash, with and without modifiers without much luck. You either get that terrible overly flashed look or some dark mushy looking photo.
So my thought was to look at some Home Depot style work lights, which led me to the product I listed above. So what I am trying to figure out is how bright will these lights be at 25 feet away.
With my limited practical knowledge of the inverse square law, it seems that about 8 feet away I am at 2% of the initial light. So 400 Lumens.
Does 400 Lumens give me enough light to drop the ISO or bump my F stop up a little?
