I have a question about the best type and size of incandescent lighting to use for my layout. I plane to install an overhead lighting system, using white for daytime and blue for night, with dimmers. I will be using a fast clock set to 8-1 ratio. The lighting will be controlled by computer. The average distance between the layout and the dropped ceiling is 46". My problem: What type and size of incandescent bulb would be best to use? The layout is rather large, 28' x 28'. There will be a ceiling valance to reduce the light spill. Any help will be greatly appreciated. <br /> <br />Walt E. (in PA)
