Need Design Advise Rechargeable 2700k Bulbs??

0 Upvotes

So I just got a vintage dining light. I dont have any wiring above the table, but I figured that I could use rechargeable lughtbulbs in the fixture so I wouldnt have to hardwire. The only problem is, I want 2700k Soft White, and I cant find any truly rechargeable bulbs that have that! The closest I've found have a "backup battery", but still need an outlet with power for charging. Are there any rechargeable bulbs you all know of that can give me the look I want, or will I need to rework my wiring plan?

I’m in the middle of a bathroom remodel and wanted to know, how do you install a light strip that is flush with the ceiling?

I have a sloped ceiling and wanted it to run along the edge that the shower is on.

Need Design Advise Is this kitchen lighting guide legit?

Hi folks! We're thinking about redoing our kitchen and in the course of doing some initial research I ran across an illustrated guide from a guy named David Warfel. His recommendations look good to me, but this is outside of my area of expertise and I have no way of determining whether he knows what he's talking about and I'd love an expert's opinion about whether the guide seems trustworthy. Or, alternatively, if anyone else has a guide they can point me to from someone else I would greatly appreciate it. What I found is from 2018, so at least I know it's not AI.

I've attached all the images but am also including the link below. Also just to say it out loud, I have no connection to this guy and have never seen his work before, so this isn't a backhanded way of promoting a specific person's work.

Need Design Advise Living room lighting help

Been messing with the lighting in my living room for about 8 months now.

Got some helpful guidance from this group on creating a custom 3-light string setup for the Akari H-style hanging lamp.

All lamps on Lutron dimmers, mostly incandescent lighting. Dim-to-warm style for the few LEDs.

Still need to deal with the overhead boob lights. Not sure if I should keep it simple or do a short pendant by the window and something else by the painting. Boob lights are on the same Lutron Diva dimmer wall switch. Would prefer an incandescent solution, since I prefer low-end performance and going for a dim-to-warm setup. Idea would really be not to use the overheads, or if used, at a very low level to slightly glow. But shadows and dark spots in the room are important to me.

What would you all do?

Need Design Advise Flush mount light in skylight shaft?

3 Upvotes

Hi, We are doing a complete bathroom remodel, and have removed our exterior window and added a quite large skylight. Our architect is suggesting a circular flush-mounted fixture in the skylight shaft to light up the hole at night, but I am curious if there are other ideas or options... Worried that we are skipping the trim/shade for aesthetics that to add a fixture would spoil this clean effect in daylight? Has anyone added recessed can fixture in the skylight? How complicated are LED strips? Thanks for any advice :)
