I just stuck a large on in the garage and I can not get over how good the light is from just one CF/Bulb. <em>I especially like the colour from the Daylight CFL's. They seem to make a scene come alive. On another note, I've had most of these bulbs since the lighting was installed, almost 2 years, and so far haven't replaced any. Due to finances at the time I did have a few cheapo CFL's that I have replaced, both out of necessity (stopped working) and becuase they were too yellow compared to the Daylight ones. Later!

I do have a few spots that are underlite, that because I do have the fixtures in the correct spots yet. As to Micheal's question. Yes mounting them side ways in your setup does help. You are able to use indirect lighting effect from the white ceiling, helping to fill in the lighting for the space between the bulbs. If you were to mount them vertiically you should install a "white" painted surface behind the valance. Doug <em>Thanks Doug! Scott

Is there any difference between side mounting the lights (as you've done) and mounting them vertically? I suppose you save quite a bit of space... <em>Great minds think alike! Ha! The light from the CFL's dissipates in all directions, unlike a spot, or flood, bulb would. So I really don't think there would be any difference. For me, since I have a drop ceiling, the only economical option was to side mount them on the valance supports. I think it worked out well.

Do you notice any “hotspots” with the moveable fixtures? Of course that assumes you want even lighting. Some folks like to highlight certain scenes for effect. I prefer an even light over the whole layout.
