I installed a similar type in my garage. I butted the segments together with their supplied double-ended joiner connectors. Nice and easy but a couple of times the expansion/contraction of the LED strips (they do get warm) caused the connection to come loose. They've been fine for a couple years now. And yes, they ARE bright. I love it.
I had the 8' T-12 HO florescent tubes that pulled 30 amps total, after the upgrade and wiring the new LED into the wild leg of the 3 ph I now only pull 10 amps and have 2-3 times the light..
I used the same lights. Mine is slightly smaller at 16x32. But I didn’t use the mounting clips that came with the lights. I used 3/4” pipe clamps. I just felt like they needed to be more secure.
Above the side lights, add 12" wide shevels with anglegled wood to hold it up, then put strips of Melamine on the underside of the angled supports to help reflext the light back down from the top side of the light figures. (or cut 45 degree wedges for the clips that hold the lights). I did the shelves around mine, I was tempted to make the melamine hinged so it could be small storage, but decided probably not worth cost of harward and the effort to add hinges, latches, and chain.

I will eventually skin the ceiling and probably paint it white. Its plenty of light now though, even with no reflection!
Do you get any rfi noise with your fm radio?
I don't have an fn radio out there unfortunately. I use a smart home device and streaming.
Paint the walls for even more light.
Any dead ones yet?
No sir, all good a year in.
