Hello,

I've converted a room upstairs so that it can be used as a workshop by my
wife. She likes to do all sorts of arts and crafts, and I was wondering what
would be the best lighting to use in the room. The room itself is quite low,
about 2m20, and quite large, about 7m by 4.5m. I was thinking of fluorescent
lighting, but there seems to be a huge range of types and lighting colours
available.

Could anyone give me some advice on how to select lighting, or point me to
some information.

Many thanks,
Paul

Without knowing much about the prime issues your choice will be based
on, not really. Ceilling type, any other significant issues such as
cost, whether those arts and crafts require full spectrum lighting,
etc etc.

In the absense of more information, you could check out the recent
thread on fluorescent lighting where I posted some pieces on how to
make fluorescent into a decent option. That may open your horizons up
a bit.
