track lighting vs. fluorescent for basement?

17 years ago

Dh and I are changing the lighting in our basement rec room and can't decide between track lighting or fluorescent lights. DH says that fluorescent lights are very "out" and I say that the way our basement is set up it would be to overwhelming visually for track lights. Our basement is U shaped with the top part of the U being about 15 feet a piece and the bottom part of the U being about 40 feet, with the stairs and furnace/utility room in the middle. The current lights are just fixtures and don't provide enough light. There is one fixture in both of the upper parts of the U and 4 fixtures on the bottom part. I just think that 4 track lights in a row might look a little strange, but I also am not hip on the fluorescent look. Does anyone have a suggestion or preference that might sway us one direction or the other?
