	title of this thread your message This is all very good information. I want to ask Koen, Olive, etc., further about the effect of shading. I had noticed, being able to look at a few homes built in the 60s and 70s here by a progressive local architect, that in his use of lengthy tube fluorescents, he always recessed them within a fairly deep mahogony enclosure, almost a trademark of his lighting, which I initially thought of as more of an aesthetic consideration. But reading this discussion, I got to thinking there was probably an equal or greater consideration in using this enclosure system that had to do with a more pleasing casting of this particular type of light, especially with regard to the kind of fluorescent options available forty years ago. There was also, I suppose, a noise consideration with the annoying hum that accompanies those early ballasts, that technology has all but eliminated. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
