Default Halogen light problem


Why not write an architectural lighting article? It only takes 5
minutes to get the bare basics down, headings with a few notes under
each. Hopefully it'll develop from there.

I think this would be good. I like them, when fitted in big spaces but have
just put 4 x 50 W in a small-ish kitchen in place of a five foot striplight
(on instructions of SO).

Unfortunately with a normal 8 foot ceiling they are, as the Wiki says, very
bright if you look at them and there is a wide range of illumination level
depending on whether you are in the beam or not. I think I would need about
8 x 50W to get the even lighting I had with the tube.
