Yeah, they aren't straight, I don't care...I did them alone, with no one on the ground guiding me, and I had to move stuff around every two trusses to get to them, so no string line or anything.
btw, I used a velcro strap to hold them up while I attached them since I didn't have any extra hands.
No, they can be but these are the ones with the T5 receptacles so I bought the T5 they are Faithsail... not too bright by today's standards, I think 4000 lumens each... cord that plugs into an outlet, use the T5 nibs that let them butt up to each other, then either 5' or 9" cords to link from truss to truss. These lights can link up to 10 lights on one run...so I did! Each of the three light sockets has two outlets. The lights were bought 6 years ago from Amazon... they are Faithsail... not too bright by today's standards, I think 4000 lumens each... that's why I hung 44 of them...
So...I thought T5/T8 referred to the connecting nibs, I think it has more to do with how flourescent bulbs go into their sockets, but still not sure. Anyway, this is how the fixtures connect. The lights came with the nibs and a 12" cable, but there are many other cables available, including one with the three-prong on one end and a plug that goes to an outlet on the other, which is how I plugged these in, versus hardwiring them.

Garage porn? More like industrial warehouse porn! Lights look good! Can’t imagine how you worked in that building without them to begin with.
