As my eyes age, I find I like brighter light situations when I work but when working with an illuminated screen, light is not much of an issue.<div><br></div><div>If I made a general assessment of Sudo SPACE I'd say that if more atmospheric lighting was desired, then the ceiling needs to be lower. Of course there are a few ways to do this, but the most practical way to do this could also increase work area. What I am thinking of is building a loft. Under the loft (10' high) would be beams/joists that would serve as a structure for directional light. The loft itself would block out the omni-directional flood light given off my the flouresent bulbs currently providing light. Under the loft would be both cave like and open with 10' ceilings. Above a loft could be used for many purposes - too many to list here.</div><div><br></div><div>Things to consider: lofts are usually against (attached to) one, two or three walls. Lofts materials cost money and are must be build using sound construction practices.</div><div><br></div><div>Lighting, like I am talking about above would also cost money.</div><div><br></div><div>It's all a considerable investment and there is so much to do already at the Omni to get it to pass code inspections. The rent has to be paid every month and I worry that there may be a challenge maintaining the existing roof over the collective's head.</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps Noemie had something less grand in mind about changing the lighting in Sudo. I'd love to read some other peoples ideas about creative lighting solutions / changes.</div><div><br></div><div>I've go to get to work now.</div><div><br></div><div><br><div>
