if you use outlets on your ceiling that you plug your lighting into, you can adjust the numbers that go on or off at a given setting. same for track lighting except track lighting by it's nature allows adding or removing lights from a given track.

Of course!! Sorry, I guess it's "brain dead day" for me today...... I didn't know what track lighting was (by that name, anyway) I think I'll put three switches on the desk to control each set of lights. Then I can assign the lights I want to each switch. I just need to make sure I have enough sockets per switch, in case I need changes 8) That is a great tip, Glenn! If I'd like to access one set of lights from two switches (say from the door and from the desk), I would need to wire the switches in parallel using 3 way switches, correct? Thanks again :mrgreen: Cheers Sono

yep

I've been trying to sketch up the clouds following your example clouds pic. I came up with something along these lines: What do you reckon? Cheers Sono

Bumpety Bump......

Don't have SU on my BB...:wink: Will check when I get back online.

Thanks Glenn :) Cheers Sono

looks good. the front frame you show will be filled with rigid insulation? cool! also consider some widely spaced slats or other scattered hard surfaces (some symmetrical pattern on 1/2" plywood for example) on the cloud faces to ensure you keep the high frequency energy where you need it. put some 3.5mil (or so) plastic on the face of the cloud insulation before covering with cloth.

Yes, it's just a sketch. I like your light scheme drawing too :) I'll keep working on it Thanks again for your support mate :mrgreen: Cheers Sono

Please let me know what you think about my cloud (inspired on ur sketch :mrgreen: ) Cheers Sono

very nice cloud. interesting to see the evolution in this design thread...

Thanks a lot, Glenn, without ur support, guidance and encouragement it would've never happened :) I hope I'll be able to build it just as nicely! Busy with cabling the whole thing (thousands and thousands of cables....) I'll try to post pics soon Cheers Sono

I just realized something: my speaker boxes are really tight, so much so that the only way to pull the speaker out is by slightly tilting the box. I won't be able to tilt them after I've built the soffits... :( Any ideas/suggestions? Cheers Sono P.S.: rigid insulation inside slat walls is to be placed against the inner leaf, not the slats, correct?

"Is there anybody OUT there?" R.Waters ;-)

one option is to put a polyester packing strap or heavy twine behind them as you insert them. this gives you something to pull on. however make sure they're are not so tight as to be coupled to the speaker box... your rubber or insulation decoupling layer in the box should be firm but still prevents the speaker from transferring directly to the box and the frame.

Cool idea :) What about The slat walls? Cheers Sono

Not sure what you Need to know...

rigid insulation inside slat walls is to be placed against the inner leaf, not the slats, correct? Cheers Sono

If you put the rigid insulation about 2" in behind the slats and cloth, then lightly fill the remaining space with pink insulation.

Ok, so the pink goes between the rigid and the inner leaf, right? Out of curiosity, how do you hold the rigid in place 2" from the slats? :mrgreen:

it's rigid and is supported somewhat by the pink insulation :mrgreen: plus you can use insulation mesh to keep things in place :idea:

Insulation mesh....mmm....I'm gonna check that one out :mrgreen: Thanks for the tips Cheers Sono

Even chicken wire (chicken mesh) will work. - Stuart -

Good point Stu :) I found some cheap garden mesh/wire. It'll match the rockwool green! :mrgreen:
