Lighting ideas for small car showroom

[norv]

Has anyone got any ideas what lighting I could use for a small car showroom. The building is about 15 metres long & about 9 metres wide & 3 big oak roof trusses spaced out along the length. Customer wants the lights on the trusses but not hanging down, more like a spotlight type thing.

I was thinking white light would be better but can only find domestic stuff or commercial lights that are much to expensive. Any ideas ?

Cheers

Always worth trying a rep of Osram or Phillpis for ideas / lighting plan. Usually provide service free of charge.

Thanks for the replies. I have ended up using a couple of Metal Halide flood lights from TLC. The small showroom has already got an industrial type feel & these lights look good up on the old Oak roof trusses

Glad any / all of us could help.

For ideas have a look at Kreon and get your local fab shop to make them up for next to nothing.
