Hi I need some suggestions for my new 12x20 studio which has adiqate lighting everywhere but the main area. I have one huge double window towards the end of the space. Im used of lots of light in my old place, there's no ceiling light. What lighting options would give me the most light for my batcave.

You really haven't given us much to go on. I can't tell if you own the space, and therefore could add permanent lights in the ceiling or if you want to know what kind of light bulbs to buy for your lamps.

More details please.

Light is light, you want a lot then just add up the lumens. That can be done with either a big number from one source or low numbers from Lots of sources. Given that you rent, buy whatever task lighting that fits your aesthetics and budget. I happen to like "white" LED lighting (5k color) for my task/work lighting, but you can fit whatever color temperature you like the most.

This isn't rocket science. It's not even remedial math....

What are you doing in said studio?
That could make all the difference in the world-

Overhead lights? Light stanchions? Maybe a lighting truss? Then again, maybe you only need a "lamp"!(?)
