My basement is only 7 feet high. Would 4 inch dia. lights be the way to go?

It's difficult to know without information about your basement ceiling. The 4 inches refers to the diameter of the "can" that these lights fit into. I believe the height of 4 inch cans exceeds 4 inches. If you have 2 x 8 joists, you can use the 4 inch or you can get the compact 6 inch cans (Halo) at a big box store. Its your choice.

Depending on the placement if you will be installing more than one, the 4" will be fine. Larger size will product too much glare. I installed on 8' ceiling and love them; plenty of light and spread on floor for my needs.

I guess it would depend upon how big the space and what or hearing lighting you intend to use. I put these (8( of them in a lounge conversion. The felling height was 9 feet. I also put in smaller projection lights for some paintings and some lamps. The quality of brightness is great and the lights are quiet. I will use these again only bathroom remodel.

We use ours as work station lights. They are mounted under the wall cabinets and light up the counter top beautifully. We used 3 x 18 inch led strips to light up 6 feet of counter. They are only 18 inches above the counter, but they are good and bright. I think you would be pleased with the effect at 30 inches above the counter.

I'm sure it depends on the use of the lights. We used them for stairwells and they are approximately 33" apart.

I have a 2ft deep by 4 foot wide t5 light in there, and you would have no problem with either of the two lights, plenty of air movement and space

Thanks for the reply. I thought about the basement but unless it has an 8 foot plus ceiling it would be awfully tight. In the end I decided daylight was more important and worked out how to keep it warm. If we had a garage then I would have put there since you could open the door for daylight, probably would have still put in a heat pump for it if the garage was unheated.

You'll need at least 7 to 8ft for the ceiling. I tried to put it in my basement which was 6 and a half, no good.

I have this chandelier in a 4x4 foyer and it does not look too big. I would go with at least the 5 light or a 9 or 12 light two tiered.

I agree with the previous answer, the light is minimal. If you had them on either side of you path and spaced pretty close, probably every foot or two you might have enough light. Cool idea, but no sure if these are the right choice.

I know what you are talking about. I would suggest a larger light, maybe the battery powered ones.

I have this set up in my basement. I use a 13 watt florescent bulb above it and get great results.

The light angle is adjustable so that may help your situation as they could angle back towards the labels from the ceiling. 4 feet is a ways so I would go with more then one for sure. Also make sure you can reach them because they are touch activated, not motion activated.

Yes just don't get the long cfl bulbs, unless you are hanging the fixture. Stick to the short spiral style

These are not the only lights that go inside 1" holes. Worst case, the holes would have to be filled with some cement, which is easy to do. (Color matching in that case may be more of a challenge.)

I have mine in a closet covering about a 3ft by 3ft area, almost 6ft from the floor. I'm sure it could be raised to cover more area with light in a bigger room like a 5ft by 5ft area in a basement or garage. It's a good product I have to say for the price and everything included plus I've had no issues so far. I'm looking forward to the end of December!!

I also have a hollow ceiling in my basement. These lights worked perfectly for me. I cut holes in the drywall, ran wiring, and inserted the lights in the holes. They clamp directly onto the drywall. Very nice.

basement will probably be dark so almost any projector will do. the nice thing is the short throw of that projector. But it can also be a bad thing. My projector is actually pretty close to the wall (like 10 feet) because it has such a wide angle of projection to get a 10feet wide image. Very often you won't be able to put it at the other end of the room or you'll endup with part of the image on the side walls.
