I was not home when mine was installed, but DH said the electrian asked if we were going to wear sunglasses LOL.
I have track lights on either side of the room at ceiling height, as a few students still complain about the light. MY tube fixtures are over the table.
I don't know if the new daylight bulbs have anything to do with, but now that I think about it, since putting them in I am spending ALOT more time in there LOL. Just busy working on the UFO Challange.

When they were installing they called me to come look ... I am sure the electrician wanted to reduce the number of fixtures as it was really really Bright . I took one look and said ... that exactly what I want ... "its brighter than daylight". They thought I was nuts ... but I love it!
Do be careful with placement , as all center of the room fixtures will still create some shadowing at the perimeter of the room when working . Since most of us put our sewing machines on the wall plan for a fixture at the wall of that area. Also concider where your cutting area and ironing board will be located.
