Hi,

I'm hoping someone could give me some advice about lighting.
I have a very dark hallway, that I think would look a lot better with
some flush, or semi flush ceiling lights?

I would like them to give a lot of light (emulating daylight if
possible), but at the same time run on a type of energy saving
bulb/led as they would be turned on often.

Here is a pic of the hallway.

Any suggestions as to the type of lighting I should go for?

Thanks

Others have suggested fluoro's, and they're good, but with your decor
it's going to be tricky. I'd use track lights with GU10 or R80
megamans. You could put five or six up and point them wherever. Two of
these might do it:

I also thought these might suit, as you could use your white walls to
good effect - but you'd need quite few to get the light level you want:
