Hello list, My family and I recently moved into a new house which we specifically purchased because of its full, unfinished walkout basement, of which a portion is dedicated to becoming my new shop. I'm very excited as this will be my first shop and it's in such a skeletal shape that I can't wait to fill it up with all new tools and widgets and doodads...oh, and pianos to tinker with too! In fact, I just purchased my first project, a Hamilton studio, which I hope to restring the bass, put new hammers on, rebush the keys, regulate and on and on... Anyway, I digress. My question is: What sort of lighting would be best? Currently, there are a total of 4 bulbs in the entire basement and it's really dark. We are going to have to wire for more electrical outlets and lights. Should I stick with traditional bulbs or would fluorescent lighting be better for the shop? Or canister spot lights? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you! :-D Barbara Nobbe, RPT Pitch Perfect 859-489-4793 barbara at pitchperfectpianos.com
