BonesOfTheMoonRemember these damn things?
DiplomjodlerThese would be much easier to do with LEDs but somehow they didn’t survive the transition.
Who’s what’s upward directional lighting? They were a horrendous design that only lit the room tip, not great for reading to crafting.
People who want the entire room lit up with fairly soft lighting?
It only lights the ceiling up, you still need additional lighting for anything you want to do.
And these were designed so the heat wouldn’t get trapped in the lid and the are super bright, so you couldn’t point them down. Replacing it with LED you wouldn’t need the same design considerations.
Popcorn ceilings, for all their downfalls, are incredible at diffusing light pointed straight at them. I have a desk lamp pointed straight at the ceiling for when I want to light up my entire bedroom, but don’t want the effect from the downward facing ceiling nipple. That desk lamp is about 4 feet away from the ceiling but it provides plenty of light for the entire room.
