Which lighting for a new master closet
Thank you, everyone,
We are making a new master closet with no natural light. It's not that big - 7-1/2 wide by 5' long. I'd like a pretty little chandelier, but I really want a good amount of light that shows real color. I heard fluorescent wasn't a good choice since the color is off, and the fixtures are ugly. Any suggestions?
Thank you!!!!

6年前In my area, building code dictates requirements for closet lighting. Check what you’re allowed before searching.
I would never want a chandelier or flourescent in a closet.

6年前Just changed our old, ugly fluorescent lights out for LED track lighting in master walk-ins. Closets are a bit deeper at 8' & 10' so multiple fixtures were needed.I was blown away by the change! Recessed lighting wasn't an option for us so the track system was best solution.

6年前I've been fine with a flushmount fixture in my closet, which is of a similar scale to yours. A two-bulb fixture would be fine, and you can use an LED bulb with just about anything, so you can have it as bright and stark as you need to get a good view.
Sorry that Houzz is broken with regard to photo links, but here are some possibilities, both glam (different types) and more practical.

Keep in mind that a lot of crystals or filagree means lots of shadows, which will look dramatic but interfere with the clarity of the light. There's no right or wrong, but you have to balance those values.

6年前I love my LED track light in my walk-in closet we chose 5000 k for the bulbs since they are as close to sunlight as possible.

6年前What is the difference between a good sized walk in closet or a tiny bedroom.My walk in has more than enough clearance from my LED track to any combustible item. I agree those codes are meant for reach ins and very narrow walkins.

Well, honestly, not that many of us live in new construction. I've been around the old kind for 50-mumblety years, so it would never have occurred to me that they were a problem. Are still sold! What does somebody use now if no switch in place???

6年前"Are still sold!" - But not for use in clothes closets.
"What does somebody use now if no switch in place???" - The Phone Book to find an electrician ;) They actually make several fixtures approved for closets with pull chains...or motion detectors.
