Need Help With New Light Set Up
Comments (13)Don't use those unless you plan on growing one plant per bulb. They might be cheaper, but definitely not more efficient. The reason is fluorescent light has little effect on plant growth past 6-8". You cover more surface area with strip lights. Especially when starting seedlings in a 10x20" tray. I would buy 2 sets of 2'- 2 strip T-5 fluorescents for each seed tray. That's a total of 4 tubes. You could get away with one set(2 tubes), it depends how healthy you want your plants to be. The T-5's put off more lumens per watt. They cost $25 for a 2 strip light or $17 for a single strip light and sell at Home Depot. When you compare it to the cheapest 2' 4-light system at $120, this seems pretty reasonable. If you want to get fancy, buy a 2' piece of shiny metal ducting, for a reflector. It also sells at Home Depot for around $3. Hope this helps....See MoreHELP!!! Ideas needed for kitchen back splash and lighting fixture
Comments (4)That is some really nice granite! I decided to take a look at some pendant lights (I assume they'll go over an island, but if you need something else, like a ceiling semi-flush mount, please let me know) and chose to look at pendants with nickel finish to go with the cabinet handles. I can expand the search to include bronze or other finish families too, though!

Comments (5)That electrician was blowing smoke. Remodel cans don't cause the drywall to sag. It would be pointless to rip down the drywall to install "new contruction" cans. The only time to use those is in new construction or if you are removing the drywall for some other reason. Otherwise, it's just needless damage and work. Maybe he just doesn't like to be careful about damaging drywall or putting excessive holes in the walls/ceiling when running the wiring, so he uses this 'excuse' to justify his "bull in a china shop" technique....See MoreKitchen light fixture help.

Comments (1)Those IMO are completely useless lighting for over an island so I would put those over the table and get some pendants that actually light the island...See MoreAngela Barry
