have outlets installed on the trusses instead of hardwiring.  install 3x of these/truss, 1 dead center and 1 5ft from the wall on each end.  Space the lights every 5th truss with lights on each end of the building

I hung mine about 12 feet up on the rafters and used LED bulbs with clear lenses—it throws good light without being harsh and doesn't flicker like some cheaper ones do.

I keep having bad luck with those 4' LED lights. They last 2-5 years then die and are a pain to replace. If I had to do again I'd just put in a bunch of old sockets and screw in bulbs.

Outlets and ufo lights from Amazon work well, if you want 20 years out of them spend the money on commercial fixtures.
