[QUOTE="louisIV, post: 186253, member: 5162"] Hi folks. A friend has asked if I can install some lighting up in his loft space. He wants to be energy efficient, and I'm wondering which is the best way to go. It has cross-beams all over the place and no room to stand except at the centre, so he's generally only going to store stuff up there. My thoughts are that while LEDs are very efficient, the light distribution might not be very good (is that right?) - and they are very expensive. Old style fluorescent tubes are much better at distribution, but some people are bothered by the flicker (never worries me). CFLs are annoying because they take a while to light properly. Are there any other options? And what have people done in similar situations? Cheers m'dears. LIV. [/QUOTE]
