Hi all, We have a 14x14 sun room with vaulted ceiling. It gets plenty of light during the day but at night all we have is a light kit on ceiling fan. We'd like additional lighting for reading and entertaining. Running electrical into the ceiling is not an option. I was thinking maybe traditional track lights along the lower part of ceiling beneath skylights (see photos) but not sure if this would have a spotlight effect on people sitting under them (or if track lights are out of fashion). Any other ideas? It's an informal room, so maybe cafe string lights around the perimeter above the windows ? Would like to keep the rustic feel but also don't want it to look tacky. Thanks, Don [ATTACH]109347[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]109348[/ATTACH]

Hey everyone, We had two exterior lights that began flickering horribly last week so we pulled them off the wall and found that they had been basically rewired and repaired at some point prior to buying the house. We trashed them and my wife ordered these ([url]https://www.lowes.com/pd/Millennium-Lighting-27-in-H-Powder-Coat-Black-Medium-Base-E-26-Outdoor-Wall-Light/1000861602[/url]). While we were in the process, we saw that there were no junction boxes and it looks like whoever put the originals up, tried to cut out a rectangle with a hole saw in one of the columns. Ultimately, the original lights were both mounted directly to the columns themselves. I'm debating what to do - use a shallow pan surface mount, cut out an old work round box, or use a rectangle since the hole is already there. These lights weigh about 5-6 pounds each so they aren't overly heavy. Any thoughts on what my best route is based on the pictures? For whatever reason, when I uploaded them they rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Appreciate the help. [attach]109509[/attach] [attach]109510[/attach]
