Sub-Floor Lighting & Keep It Clean

As I hate crawling around in dark sub-floors, I have had a lighting system installed. Fluorescent lamps are good for this, but I went down the cheaper-path and just used 15 incandescent lamps. These are positioned uder floor joists, and the polyester insulation is trimmed so it is not near the lamps.

Also, we worked hard to clear the sub-floor out, so there are no large lumps of clay to crawl over, and no timber off-cuts left lying around. This latter point is also important in a termite area, such as we are in.
