Because I don't want to tear up my entire ceiling I have access from on end of all rows. When wiring these do I need to go 1-2-3-4-5-6 or can I go 1-2,1-3-4,3-5-6. Thanks

I'd suggest that you put one or two of those six lights on a separate switch. So that the OTHER 22 hours a day you can still have enough light... without having an operating room
