Hi Mike,

Sorry it took me a while to get back, so we finally went with line voltage halogens everywhere. Used mostly WAC 5″ and 4″ recessed cans.

The only place where we are using low voltage are in the showers.

I again thank you for all the wonderful information you have here..

Ashish: I’m not sure why you’d go with low voltage unless you wanted really tiny lights. With line voltage, you have a ton of choices and don’t need additional transformers.

Hi Mike,

I would like to ask regarding the can lighting, did you go with low voltage Halogens or line voltage Incandescent bulbs? I am at the point of deciding on the lighting and thinking about halogens, but they run pretty hot. what suggestions you received and the pros and cons associated.

thanks

Creative lighting solution in the Great Room . . . adds drama and sure beats recessed cans.

LOVE LOVE LOVE your house and your blog…. but I gotta say, the great room looks a little busy with all those fixtures. The Nelsons seem less special, somehow.
If it were me, I’d take down the 4 in the middle and replace them with cans, then use those 4 grouped together (in a row or a square) in your dining room, maybe?

Thanks Mike. I’ll talk with my wife and see how she feels. It may be a bit more modern than what we’re looking for but I imagine they are flexible. I’m impressed by how close they stuck to the budget and essentially got you more than you wanted. That says a lot.

Take care Mike! See you at the 20!

What’s up Cody! Congrats on the new project. My experience was 99% positive so I wish you the same luck on yours. I definitely recommend talking to Build if you haven’t picked a contractor or architect yet.

Mike,

This is Cody Mast. Cale told me about your blog and said my wife and I should see what you’ve done. I’m exactly the type of person you created this blog for, so a big thank you from both of us! We are in the beginning of a custom build in North Bend and I’m about as green as you get when it comes to new construction. Congratulations on your beautiful home and great blog. It will be very helpful and I am sure I will revisit often!
