I recently have been looking at which lights I should use for my art tent. But, I am not sure as to what I should use. There was 1 example I saw in using 1 big oval light at the top of their canopy and there was someone else that used lighting strips. So, might I ask what would anyone suggest for lighting for their art canopy?

Hi Thomas,
My lights are almost not visible in this photo (and no idea why it's loading upside down), but I use a setup similar to Sheila's. I happen to use two 4' tracks with three cans in each, zip tied to my ridge poles just like she does. I feel that two tracks gives me options when reacting to my display arrangement and whether my entrance is facing north or south, for instance. I'm using LEDs as well; 500 lumens and 3,000k on the warmth scale and happy with these specs for my wood art display. Ecosmart makes a light that adjusts to three beam angles, which I also find very useful. I got 'em at Home Depot.
Hope this helps--
Steve
I use a 6' length of track light and 12 LED cans (just recently switched over to LED) and it works great. I just wire tie it to the light bar in my TrimLine. It works great and doesn't get as hot as my previous lights. I bought mine from Amazon - lots of options. You can kind of see it in the photo.
