Hi there,

Can anyone suggest a light to use in this cabin? Looking for inexpensive, industrial type looking as we want a rustic vintage look, but worried about something hanging down too low and unsure as to whether to place on the lower hanging beams, or the higher up areas in-between. I have no clue when it comes to lighting.


The cabin will be stained/painted darker brown, more rustic/old looking. I like the filament looking lights, Ive heard you can now get LED straight ones..


Really like this light below, but it's quite expensive and not sure if it would hang down too low.. plus I would need more than one.

Or maybe this would be better.. its cheaper, but I prefer the kind of look of the first one

The cabin is 5m x 3.8, and obviously everything apart from the roof lights is probably surface mounted.


I'm not sure how many lights or where to place them or best use of making those beams look ok? unless there is something can be mounted each side of them with some kind of movable industrial spots?


No idea, so all ideas/advice would be very welcome, thanks as I need to buy this weekend aghh and make a decision.
