You want the ceiling lights to accentuate the features
Speaking of which: InfoAge took the cheapest/fastest route to getting a C= ertificate of Occupancy for the building, which meant ugly fluorescent li= ghts on the ceiling. :( Post-VCF season, when we (hopefully) will have m= ore money and (definitely) will have time to spend, we can look into prop= er lighting.
I recently replaced my garage/workshop fluorescent lights with LED lighting. They have a similar form -- long tubes -- but they give off a much brighter and whiter light. Food for thought.
I replaced my workshop lights this past weekend with the LED bulbs also. They weren't cheap and for the price I don't think it was worth it. They weren't that much brighter or whiter compared to a good bulb after a few minutes of warmup. They were Instant on though.
Which brand lights did you use? I know you get what you pay for.
I paid about $25 a bulb with tax at Home Depot. So 50 bucks a fixture isn't cheap just for bulbs.
