Hi,
In our new house we have solid concrete floors, and the ground floor doesn't have a lot of headroom. Currently there are no ceiling lights - just nasty 70s wall lighting.
I want to attach some battens and nail plasterboard to it to make a more pleasant ceiling and to hide some of the pipes, but obviously I don't want there to be much space between the concrete and the plasterboard.
Ideally I would like to get rid of the wall lighting and put in some low-profile ceiling lighting. I'm a bit concerned about putting in halogen lighting as there won't be a lot of clearance and very little airflow to get rid of heat.
Can anyone tell me if halogen lighting would be acceptable in this installation. What's LED lighting like - will this knock out enough light? Anyone know of any nice low-profile flourescent lighting?
Thanks, Dave.
