I've seen some commercial offices and lobbies where they have pot lights that
were converted to CF lamps on their side. The aluminum reflector does it's job
of directing the light downward, but the bulb itself is quite recessed. A
commercial item not to be found at Home Depot. And the 2x6 construction may be a
problem.

Try a lighting store that sells nothing else.


We went to the largest lighting Store in the State of Maine, which is
House of Lights in near Portland. It is a 100 plus mile drive from
here. They have tons of incandescent decorative lighting and alot of
high intensity halogen baaed track lighting.

We have low ceilings (7 foot 5 inch as opposed to the more standard 8
foot). So, anything that hangs from the ceilings is not ok as it just
accents our already low ceilings.

I must confess I haven't looked at halogen lights and don't know if
they are more efficient. They are certainly smaller and easier to
conceal. Additionally, they are dimmable, which might let us use a low
setting for sitting around watching tv and just crank up the dimmers
when we want to read or need higher light levels.

Maybe halogen lights are the answer?
