Lighing for laundry room, low ceiling

Z on Jan 16, 2014Good for your husband. Fluorescent lights always bother my eyes and in a laundry room it would be best to have daylight bulbs for better seeing any stains you need to pre-treat. I'd recommend LED full spectrum light bulbs in whatever lighting you chose. How big will your laundry room be?Helpful Reply

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Jan 16, 2014I would think about putting in recessed lighting if you have height restrictions. There is also nice track lighting now. Fluorescent lighting does not last and it is not a nice light to work in as Becky points out. there are also some nice ceiling lights now at Lowe's and Home Depot that will be both functional and decorative.Helpful Reply

Colleen on Jan 18, 2014I would agree with your husband. Fluorescent lighting can be irritating. Maybe glam up the laundry room with a chandleier. I too would reccomend LED lighting, a bit more expensive but worth it.Helpful Reply

Jeannie Andrews on Jan 18, 2014I bought a small chandelier for my laundry room. I haven't installed it yet, and it isn't really for "light" so much as it is for pointing out how much I love my laundry room. Yep, I'm one of the rare folks who love to do laundry. Go Figure. My choice will be LED's too.Helpful Reply

Celeste K on Jan 21, 2014I don't think we put recessed lights in that room, so I will need to go another route. I like the idea of track lighting just because I can get a lot of light. I don't know much about track lighting though and wonder what one needs to buy to put together a track light?Helpful Reply
