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.

Food for thought indeed. Presumably it saves money on the electric bill? Google is showing me "copper foil tape" so maybe I'll order some of that and return the gold craft store tape.

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. Cheers, Corey
