PCL's Profile

Sure they're tacky and dated. But the contractors who "gasp" at their mention are the same ones who made them such a cliche, many of whom are now pedaling tacky, impractical recessed cans and those hideous sliding vinyl basement windows I see slapped on every other "renovated" old house these days. Track lighting can be viewed as a necessary evil; it's not really offensive if it's aimed at something worth illuminating. I like to think that most artwork can be illuminated using a less cluttered solution, like one of those "crevice lights" just below the piece, but I know that won't be adequate for some pieces.
