Hello Fellow members..
Hoping for a bit of advice on Lighting for very small room?
This room will eventually contain a percussion set up
:-[Conga`s+Tibales+assorted hand Percussion e.t.c.]
Even if the room were not going to be used for anything musical,then I was still looking around at lighting ideas as it is small and very little natural light.
Now I am transforming the room in to a music room where (ok) Yes I will be recording my percussion lessons for reference (have posted elsewhere about this aspect)
I would like to install some nice lighting? at the moment it as a 30 year old twin flourescent mini tubes( 60cm each) behind a deffused plastic cover(bit like the old dentist surgery set up (yak)the lighting is ok..but I would like something better and warmer.
any suggestions..I am told keep away from halogen & flourescentsgo for something with not to much heat??
Hope someone can give me a few suggestions(i am not to bright when it comes to all this ) so please keep it relatively simple.
EXAMPLES: possibly swan necked lights on monitors?
Spots on playing area e.t.c.sure you guys have your own ideas.
The room is only
3 mtrs x 2 mtrs x 2.35 mtrs high.
one length (3m) and one side(2m) built into solid mountainside on the long side are two small windows rectangular total size 90cm X 30cm each approx The reason I mention the above details is I would like to ask if one of these drum isolation booths [would keep noise levels down?] or something similar maybe panels of somekind as long as they do not cost loads of cash!
Really do not wish top get in to the Home studio thing,to deeply got to be practical?
I know through the amount I have already read on the subject that this is a massive subject which covers a very wide spectrum of opinion.
anyway all help welcome
Regards Steve
