Type of Skylight
When we were building our dream home, my wife and I had a bit of a disagreement on what type of lighting to put in the family room. We eventually decided on skylights, with extra outlets for floor lamps. I called the skylight manufacturer to see what the best type of light would be for us. They recommended that we use bubble style plexiglass skylights. They are light and inexpensive, plus they refract light in a soothing kind of way. I was grateful for the advice, and I put the plans in motion. We now have some really great ambient lighting in the family room.
