Hello All, I am thinking about improving the ambient light in a kitchen. The walls and the ceiling are made of concrete and I cannot install recessed lighting. For energy efficiency reasons I would like to go with fluorescent (either CFLs or liner). For the moment I am thinking about linear lamps. My question is how can I make the light most pleasing. This is for an installation outside the USA. What makes a good diffuser? Any ideas about how one makes one's own diffuser? Is there an easy way to diffuse the light? The fixture is mounted directly on the ceiling and at the moment it bare causing a lot of glare.
Thanks.
