Need advice on basement lighting
I'm working on the lighting in my basement before it gets finished. All of the lights are 2 ft off the walls but i didn't think about the spacing between the lights in the big zone. They're about 9 ft apart and i'm debating on scrapping this entirely and just do 3 or 4 basic light fixtures in the center of the entire room. Originally, this had 3 basic fixtures. I haven't wired anything yet but I plan on using dimmers. Room is 34' long 7' high, 13' wide in the big area and 10' wide in the smaller area.
Question: Should I add more lights between the 9ft columns? Or scrap it all and just put some basic fixtures? My concern is adding too many lights will make it look ugly/too bright.
Light specs:
Brand: Juno
700 lumen each (\~11,000 total)
4 inch lights (because 6 inch didn't fit in some of the joists)
