Help on lighting Part III

10 years ago

Hi All,


I have made a couple of posts requesting ideas on how to light part of a bedroom, and decided to create a new thread w/ additional pics for clarity. Just to recap the important bits:

- Room is a 2nd floor bedroom with accessible attic space above

- Ceiling height is about 7'5"

- Larger portion of the room is now wired with new 5" recessed cans (x4)

- One wall has a closet converted to a desk nook

- Bedroom will be used by our 10-year-old son (who reads a LOT)

I have received several ideas and am down to these ideas:

- Some combination of recessed or track lighting, or wall sconce (or even a wall mounted track)

- More track or a pendant light OR recessed cans for the desk area

- I now have a 2-gang electrical box at the door and can cut in another box next to the bed if needed

- Desk area also has a 2-gang box (one for the recessed and one for the desk lighting)

- I have also thought to put a fan in somewhere (the original reason for the 2-gang at the door) because the room gets hotter/colder than the rest of the house due to generally poor insulation / much masonry wall


At this point I'm open for any and all suggestions on how to light around/near/over the bed - lamps would be the last choice for us as he tends to break stuff just by looking at it :P

Sincere thanks in advance for any advice or ideas!
