LED Bulbs Recommendation for Art Studio Room

I am looking at lighting for an art studio room, size of approximately 11x12 ft. I think the bulbs I need are the NorthLux™ 95 CRI T8 LED Tube for Art & Studio. For this size room, how many bulbs would be needed in a shop light fixture?

In the hopes of clarifying, it might be helpful to know that the NorthLux™ 95 CRI LED Shop Light Fixture ships with pre-installed LED lighting within, and would not require any bulbs to be installed for operation. 

Based on my review of our Lumen Estimation Calculator, it appears that ~10,379 lumens would be required to evenly illuminate your studio space for artwork creation. 

If the NorthLux™ 95 CRI LED Shop Light Fixture is indeed preferred, it appears that two to three shop light units would be able to meet that goal, each providing 4200 lumens. 

If a third-party shop light fixture were to be used, the Lumen Estimation Calculator recommends 13 units of the NorthLux™ 95 CRI BR30 LED Bulb for Artwork & Studio, each providing 800 lumens. 

How do I configure these to hang them? Is there a fixture that holds 2 or 3 bulbs, or do I have to hang them individually?

The LED Shop Light fixture does not require any lightbulbs for functionality, as the light sources are installed within the product housing.

On the other hand, the BR30 bulbs can be used in most common residential fixtures, such as floor lamps and recessed ceiling lighting. 

In the hopes that it proves to be helpful, track lighting systems are often utilized for installing BR30 lightbulbs. Based on my review, several of those fixtures appear to be available from retailers such as The Home Depot and Lowe’s.
