The main bathroom had some horrible florescent lights above the sink. The ballast appeared bad as they didn't work so I decided to replace them with some recessed lights from Ikea. Here is the original fixture:
I had temporarily put a different fixture in so that I could have some light, but there was an issue with that light, causing it to flicker. So, I decided to get cracking on the recessed lights. Here is the work in progress:
And the final result:
Lighting is much improved. I used a piece of wood from the basement and painted it a flat, dark olive green. The lights are wired in parallel. I had originally planed to wire them in series, but they were very dim in that configuration. The fixtures aren't quite sitting flush. The wire I used was so stiff that it's pushing them out slightly. I'll have to tinker on that later. However, overall the look is much better and the lighting is greatly improved.
