My Sewing room is in my basement , and for years was not very pleasant. When I finally decided to make it a more desirable space, I told the electrician how many 4 ft. fixtures I wanted. He just looked at me like I was nuts. So the day they were installed he had them loosely installed and lit them all up, and then called me to come look. I am sure he thought I was going to say take out a few. I looked at him and said "that's exactly what I want , just as bright as daylight ,without a cloud in the sky at noon". He just shook his head . I love it. The best investment I made in my sewing space.
