You have specific needs, contact a local lighting consultant.

Thank you. Thinking that also.

I had good luck working with a sales consultant at Lightology. She showed me interesting suspended fixtures from Pure Edge and suspended track lighting. You make an appointment online.

"Lighting consultant", more at the engineer end of the spectrum, not the salesman end.

I agree an actual lighting professional I use cable lighting a lot in these spaces with highceilings to bring the light to human level . I am interested to know why on eartth 27' ceilings anywhere You do realize these will have huge effect on your heating and cooling bill not to mention the sound issue so make sure you have lots of drapes, rugs and soft furniture and do you really love animal heads in a lving space ?

(not a pro) I don't have any recommendations, except to caution you to think about how you'll change bulbs. With the track lighting you show, make sure you can easily pull out the bulbs. I have something similar in my kitchen and was cursing just the other day because I can't get my fingers in to get a grip to pull out 2 bulbs that need to be replaced. Who designs this stuff? And my ceiling is only about 8.5' tall. I can't imagine trying to wrestle with those while being more than twice as high off the ground. (It's possible the light came with a suction cup thingy, but I didn't install the light and have no idea. Still wouldn't want to try it at a major height.)

My husband loves hunting and has deer heads mounted to display and I think it is only fair he be able to display what he likes in our house, that he works hard to pay for. I live with a mounted bobcat in our bedroom he had to take because of a possible attack.

Changing bulbs is not a big deal, they have gadgets for that, more importantly the LED bulbs last forever and I have not had to replace them in years.

Because it wasn't specified, there is an outside chance that @Golfergal216 is Annika Sorenstam, and they will be literally golf trophies. This would make a big difference in lighting shiny brass on a shelf as opposed to taxidermy.

With such a grand space, I have some reservations about your proposed lighting:

- I do not see any lighting upwards, so the high ceiling will be darker. I do see 2 chandeliers out of the 3 bays, but that may be inconsistent across the room depending on fixtures chosen and extent of faux beams.

- I do not know the size and extent of the faux beams, how they will interfere with the lighting, or if they can be utilized for uplighting.

- I do not know if a second story overlooks this space, and whether that view is important enough to not have lumenaires in the way.

- I do not know if you have a big concern about changing the lamps in the future, e.g. if you don't want to pay an electrician to use a scissor lift to change a 'bulb', then you might want to avoid recessed lights in the flat collar tie portion and not hang the chandeliers above the 16'.

- I do not know if this is strictly a trophy room gallery, or has spaces set in certain areas for seating, dining, etc. and how you are lighting those spaces at the human scale.

- I do not know the slope of roof, but I would guess with that steep pitch that the gimbals of the recessed housings will not aim directly down, but angled across the way a little bit so anytime you look up you will see glare.

- I do not know the size of the taxidermy (e.g. rhino vs muskrat), but they only have a 6" can about 6' or so above them. Not only does a 6" can (BR40 lamp) diffuse the light out more broadly, but when looking up to about 13' where the taxidermy will be mounted it will be shadowed underneath them and you will be missing detail.

- I do not see the proposed lighting doing well to accent the tall fireplace, which I assume will have nice stone and some prominent decor. As well the blank walls beside it I assume will have some decor. You don't want the lighting to eminate from differing roof slopes and you will need a specific baffle and lamp style to spread the majority of the fireplace and wall..

These are not questions you need to answer here for me. These are things that a lighting designer will think about and you can be prepared to communicate with them. As said already, do not seek a sales consultant, but an actual designer (engineer). This space is unique (and important) enough where the lighting can go terribly wrong.

I would probably be using spots, on cables, so the cables "disappear." To get a sense, go to a GAP store and study how their merchandise is lighted.

I would not use the ceiling box mounted multi-fixture you show, that is kind of hokey (insert Houzzers saying trophy rooms are hokey to begin with). With all the rods/extensions and varying mounting heights of the boxes they will mess up the intent of the vault and it's openess.

If you are under the gun, have the electrician determine the circuits and run homeruns, and come back when you have a real lighting plan, even if you have to pay extra for their time.

Thank everyone for the help. Will probably look seriously at the cable lighting like in pic.

If you have center room lights and recessed on the parameter what is the track for? The ceiling appears only to be vaulted in one area?
