Hi, finishing our basement and we would like to put in a "fake window", i.e. a recessed section of the wall with lighting behind it, a diffuser, and some blinds over it.
I wonder if anyone has done this or seen this done before and has ideas on constructing it. I am thinking of two flourescent lights, a diffuser panel so that the light is relatively uniform, and some blinds or shades over that.
What are some things I need to consider such that this is done up to code and does not pose a fire risk? I am thinking that of the 100W or so used by the lights, the vast majority of it will be dissipated as heat since these things will really not throw off that much light.
Thanks T.
