Today and yesterday, we have been slicing up leftovers to create our light chamber around the edge of the main garage room. We bought two rolls of aluminium foil to serve as reflectors to make sure as much of the light is deflected into the garage itself shining across the ceiling.

The “Chamber” will be 200mm (8inches) wide sticking out from the wall and 80mm (3inches) down from the ceiling. This narrow slot contains the fluorescent lighting units, a collection of T5 (5/8inches diameter) 4foot tubes controlled by high efficiency electronic ballast. We will have 3 tubes down each side and 4 tubes across. We are trying out the latest digital dimmable controllers to try them out and learn what they are like and how difficult they might be to use.
