You might consider refraining from installations in the living and dining room areas because placement of the tubes and resulting light-spread can affect placement of your furniture, especially if you want to move things around every so often. Consider also placement of large screen TV's. We have a neighbor who had to block up a tube because of the daytime glare and reflection in the TV screen.
