Lighting suggestions for unfinished basement ceiling
Hey gang, I'm looking to do a modest refurb of my basement gym. I have no intentions of finishing the walls or ceiling with drywall. At any rate, I'm tearing down a partition the previous owner erected to make a larger space. He did add some extra florescent fixtures, however one is a 3' and tubes are pretty expensive, one of the regular 4' has a bad ballast plus I have some unswitched pull chain socket fixtures.
Everybody has ceiling height issues it seems. My basement is no different. I'd like to ditch regular socket bases and perhaps do something that's a bit more flush. Maybe I can mount between the floor joists? Does anybody have a recommendation on LED fixtures? How many square feet per fixture?
