Test Lighting in a Room

When deciding on lighting for a particular room, it helps to see how light from different types of light bulbs placed at different locations will look, e.g. do you want a bunch of spot lights or a few flood lights? Below is a simple setup showing how you can attach lights to your ceiling for testing purposes.

Buy these long pendant lights. They’re available on Amazon for $13 for a pack of two.

Hang them up on your ceiling:

and compare it to other types of lighting. In my case, I place on replacing the ceiling light box with daylight white flourescent tube lights

with 4 recessed soft white lights. The light bulbs are FEIT 2700K flood lights from Costco. They dim well and don’t buzz.
