Lighting for built-in library area

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

I am looking for lighting advice for this wall of built-ins. This is normally my wife's office when she works from home and she needs more light. I jerry rigged a light above the window for now, but I am considering a more permanent solution. Running the wires will be easy with the garage to the right of the room. The bookcases are both 4'6" wide, the desk area is 6' wide and the depth is 18" deep.


Option #1

A 4" recessed for each bookcase with a gimbal light and a 4' led bar light in the area above the window.

Option #2

A 4" recessed for each bookcase and two 4" recessed for the desk area with gimbal lights.

Option #3?

The rest of the room (15'x30') is lit with 3 14" square recessed lights. Please excuse the mess. I am in the middle of paint and repairs throughout the room. It is amazing how much crap I had in those lower shelves and in the drawers!

Thanks!

Dan
