Hi all. I am working on slowly remodeling my basement. First thing is to get some decent lighting down there so I can see what I am doing.
I have decided on recessed lighting and I would like to do LED if I can find some options at affordable prices.
My question is, I am at a loss for how to arrange the cans given the room layout. Below is a picture. I definitely want to add a light at the bottom of the stairs (as shown in the picture), which will be on a separate three-way switch at the top of the stairs and at the bottom. There is also a light at the top of the stairs which illuminates my house's side-door entrance.
Otherwise, I can't figure out the best way to arrange the lighting. I know I want all lights on dimmers, perhaps three-four on each dimmer. The soffit down the middle will likely block out much of the light from the other side of the room, so I think it best to treat as two separate areas.
Any tips or ideas.
Thanks!
