Thank you all for the great information. I will definitely have a look at the Lamps Plus site. And I have never bought anything on eBay or Craigslist, but I will look there, too.

I have found that those lighting formulas always work. (Hmmm, I guess that is why they are called formulas, huh.) Anyway, I figure them out, not only for the size and placement of fixtures, but also for the amount of wattage or lumens or whatever it is called for the size of the room. When we bought this house, we put in a lot of extra lighting, even though I know I look much better in dim light. I think I could probably perform emergency surgery on my kitchen counter I have so much lighting in here. (If only I knew how to perform surgery.) I used to have notes on the formulas but do not know what I did with them so thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

GG, I will definitely give Home Depot a visit and Lowe's, too. I am dealing with 16.75 feet by almost 25 feet.

And thanks again.

Boomer
