Hi,

What are some of the good new ideas about lighting closets (not walk-
in) and areas like the "triangular" side of finished attic,
or a crawl
space? These are places where you do not want (or are not allowed to)
use an exposed light bulb. And why would you want to? It's big, it's
fragile, sometimes hot, etc. So is there something like a plug-in LED
light with a motion sensor? (I do have outlets in these places). Or
an easy push to turn on light that's pretty bright and doesn't get
hot. Anyway, what are the new cool ideas to address lighting in these
areas?

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

One way that we have lit closets is to use microfluorescent fixtures (T4
or T5) around a door frame that is connected to a door jamb light switch.
When the door opens, the door jamb light switch turns on the
microfluorescent fixtures around the door frame. With this lighting
solution there are no exposed bulbs, the lights turn on and off
automatically with the opening and closing of the door, minimal heat,
energy-efficient, and the microfluorescent fixtures turn on instantly and
are very low-profile. In addition, the microfluorescent fixtures are
plug-in or hardwire and linkable. My family has used this solution for
our closets and it provides a huge amount of usable light.

Good luck!
