I had this type of lighting in mind, in the daytime I will be working in there but already notice due to having double doors with large windows and 4 additional windows I get alot of natural light. But in winter when light fades quicker I will need good lighting, I want dimmable also so when sat in the evening just relaxing on pc / laptop I can chill out area not being too bright.
If you are going to be working in there in winter, i'd divinely be thinking of insulting. A cheap job is the roll of tin foil type stuff stapled on and then boarded over, can hide the wires then I have exactly the light you are looking for similar the above, but can't recall now where I got it (a few years back now), but you can screw those on to a side wall. Was similar to this: http://www.argos.co.uk/product/4325176
I think for the amount I'll be using it, an oil filled radiator or fan heater will do the job sufficiently. Its not like I'll be living in it
if you put a heater in the cabin doc you will have to make sure it is ventilated properly. If you dont ventilate it, it will end up sopping wet with possible damp problems such as fungus etc.
Good point JP. I will be putting in 2 air vents, one high up and one low down on an end wall so that should ensure adequate ventilation. Even without heating I've read you can get all sorts of damp and fungus issues as the cabin temperature varies a lot and so does humidity.
Assume you are going seal the exterior and interior wood ? I did and no issued with condensate, damp fungus etc.. 4 years. RS
Will be putting Sikkens HLS and Filter 7 on the exterior, will probably leave the interior as is but might paint it to lighten it up a bit.
Funny how my cabin journey has taken over my life.. I thought once it's up id chill out a bit.. ohhh nooo, exterior painting, lighting, shed alarm, blinds for windows, electric, floor options either paint, rug or carpet? Which desk...... all very good fun
I know the feeling...just placed 3 electrical orders!!! No wait, 4!!! Need to look into shed alarm and blinds. Going to put some kind of laminate floor down in mine. Might paint the internal walls...?
Most electrics from TLC (sockets, conduit, SWA etc), those twin lights above from quasarled (6 No), 13x lamps from LEDhut (got extra lamp so P&P was free!) and the 4 way CU from Screwfix. About £440 all in. Now where's that Part P
I've only gone and ordered the wrong bl**dy lights, meant to order the wide beams (first link) instead these are 36 degree (second link) 6.5 Watt GU10 LED Spotlight - 70W Replacement Option Cool White - Dimmable GU10-7W-36-5000K-D 13
Phone them, might be lucky & be able to change order. They offer 30 day money back guarentee, you might like the light, so could try them, or use them somewhere else. Your spots have about a 36 degree beam angle, looking at the box I have here,overall quite a good beam spred I find. Also you can going through Quidco & save a few more pennies with led hut.
I did call them but its already been packed; order is "complete". I might try the 36 degree lamps, that's not so narrow and might actually give better light over my desk area as it'll be more "focused".
It's what I have over my desk here, plus the beam will spread as the distance increase from the lamp. You have the lamp @2.4mts height with a 36 degree angle, beam width will be about 1.5mtrs, but with a wider beam angle the lux values will drop quite a bit.
110 degrees really is wide angle ain't it. 36 degrees does give a decent spread so might actually be better. I'll have 12 of these which should cover the floor completely
Will be,I find the 36 degree perfect in kitchen, setup with a slight beam overlap, but no problems with shadows. Also have three of same lamps over a craft bench,nice bright white light, & a single over my desk & no complaints. Found a lux/lumen beam calculator. http://led.bannerengineering.com/plan-your-project/lux-lumen-calculator/
At 2m, 36 degree beam gives spread of 1.3m. A 110 beam gives spread of over 5m...that's way wide, its flood light.
