Hi Folks,
My HT room is in my basement and below my family room. Like most basement, it is ceiling height challanged and it will have 7' ceilings when completed. The room is roughly 15x20 and it will have a tray ceiling with rope light around the perimeter. I will also have 4 sconces on the walls.
My question is about lighting the "main" portion of the ceiling. I definitely do not want to put recessed light cans in the ceiling for acoustic and sounding proofing purposes. So, what are my options? Here is the way I see it.
1. Do nothing. Just use the rope lights and sconses as the light. This will be fine for movies, but may not be enough light during non-movie times.
2. Investigate some "low profile" track light options. Does anybody have any recommendations?
3. Use cans that are designed for HT use (if they exist). Perhaps very small ones?
4. Don't worry about it . Just use cans and make sure to put in insulation around them.
Thanks for any replies.
Regards,
Hal
