For a home theater in my basement, should I place sconce lighting on either side of my projector screen?
ahimsa101 asked:
I’m setting up a home theater in my basement (just finished framing). I plan to put 2 sconces on both side walls. But I was wondering if I should put a sconce on each side of the projector screen itself? Is having some dimmed light next to the screen good for viewing or is it better to keep the screen area as dark as possible?

Should I use PAR30 or PAR38 lights for basement recessed lighting?

I am finishing my basement and have installed 6″ recessed lighting housings. I don’t know if I would be better off installing baffles and trim for PAR 30 or PAR 38 halogen lighting. Any suggestions or thoughts?? Which is more common?
