inches
thick. I 've got some good quality styrofoam (smooth - not grainy) I coul
just
glue there.
My question is about the lights. I haven't yet selected any lights but
other
rooms have recessed halogens lights eyebulb style.
Halogens tend to get hot and styrofoam could melt . How much room should
I cut
for the 50w lights? (a ball park estimate)
May I ask why you are considering a low-profile suspended ceiling with
fluorescent lights? Seems like it would give you the same result with
quite a bit less hassle.
Good idea in terms of installation. Bad idea in terms of ugly light (a
generalization that's generally true).
