What I meant was "no fixture" not "better fixture" For example if you design the room for LED lighting you can design in something like a crown molding. Then you can runs a LED strip all the aw atone the top of every wall.
In a large my cousin tore out all is hanging florescent fixtures and then directly attached LED strips to the painted ceiling he spaced the rows of LEDs every 24 inches. It looks bad if yu do this in a living room but i the garage is is bright as daylight. The strips are self-adhesive and very easy to use On Tue, Apr 17, 2018 at 4:18 AM, Erik Christiansen <dva...@internode.on.net> wrote: > On 17.04.18 03:14, Chris Albertson wrote: >> If you are thinking about LED lighting, don't try and replace incandescent >> bulbs.
