hi, i'm building a garden office (permitted dev) and need to sort out my lighting however I have the following restrictions:
1) Ceiling height 6'8"
2) Roof joists 4x2 so only 100mm space in ceiling cavity + plasterboard depth
Due to the low ceiling height I was going to go for spots so nobody bangs their head on a light fitting however due to the limited cavity space I'll not be able to use halogens as they give off too much heat and need 50mm of clear space round them (I think). I was going to include a couple of wall up lighters for ambient lighting however i'm not sure what to do for the main light source and what quantity of lighting i'll need.
The size of the office is approx 5x3m, if anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
thanks in advance
