as most of you are aware, I am preparing my basement for my 18 by 28 N scale layout. I was going to use a combination of 2 by 4 lay in flourecent troffer lights and incandecant track lighting for layout lighting. However, it has come to my attention the DAMAGING effect of the flourecent lights, which will be on most of the time, except during opp sessions.
As an EX electrical contractor i should be able to answer these questions my self, but I've been "out of the loop" for a while. SO:
1) are there sleeves for the flourecent tubes that block the UV rays?
2) I might use recessed can lights, but am afraid that until i install enough of them to well light the room, and the track lighting that the low ceiling may appear "cluttered" and distracting from the layout.
3) how do YOU guys light your train room?
4) i can't use a vallance as the ceiling is allready too low less than 6'8" finished
As always your input is appreciated
