Track Style Halogen
Need lighting suggestions...?
We have a long narrow attic which has sloped ceilings. It has one small window. This space is being converted to a play space for small children. What kind of lighting should we use? Is track lighting the best choice, and are there styles which would be "kid proof"?
Also what effects do different bulbs offer. I have read halogen gets too hot to be safe around kids. I've noticed that I dislike the quality of light the curly energy efficient bulbs produce. What other options are there?

what i would suggest without seeing your space is an insulated ceiling rated recessed can light mounted as high as possible to the peak to take advantage of all the light produced, as well as being out of reach because the bulbs will get hot, but are well protected. i dont blame you with the flourescent bulbs they are awful. the bulbs i would put in the cans would be an indoor halogen flood bulb you'd have to choose the size but typically 75 watts are used. they will get a little bit hotter than the standard 60 watt incandesant but at that point it'll hurt just the same. hope this helps
