Gamesroom Lighting

[the-hat]

Hi Guys,

Nearing some progress with my games room, I will post some pictures when i get a chance but i need help !

the room is approx 8m x 3.8m, has very little natural light (one window), plasterboard ceiling with dark brown stained wood beams. At the moment has tiled floor, but I have ordered some blacklight carpet "space voyage".
I obviously need normal lighting as well as black lighting, has anyone lit a games room this sort of size ? should i use tube lights ? if so, how big and how many do you think ? and how many blacklights do you think i will need ?

Many Thanks,

Kev.

I've used strip lights over the machines and daylight bulbs over my desk (it's also my office) but TBH, I'd go down lighters in an instant if I were to do it over...

I used 4 2ft Blacklight strips spaced appx the same distance apart with 2 4ft white lights for "working" in the centre of the room. My room is much smaller though only 5m x 4m. I also added red ropelight around the room where the wall meets the ceiling for that arcade look. I think there are some pix in my Member Collections page.
