    New SIM build (Lighting)

    What kind of lighting are you all using for your sims? New garage and just starting the build. Going with SkyTrak, Hd projector and ALLsportssystems Minibay. Track lighting, Flush mount LED cans? Thinking the flush mount LEDs. Where is the most optimal placement so the shadows don't mess up the hitting area over the ball?

        LED's work, but be sure to put them on a dimmer - and if possible, put any lights near the screen on a separate dimmer/ switch so you can turn them off when the projector is on

          I bought a 3 ft track light kit with 3 "lights". Mounted just behind hitter. One light pointing almost straight down to hitting area, and the other two pointing back to my sitting area and bag area to see the clubs. I only use this light during sim play and turn off the other garage lights. Since my garage was already finished, I ran an extension cord across the ceiling and down to the plug by computer with a toggle switch. Works great.

            I put Philips Hue bulbs in. That way I can control them individually by Wi-fi and turn them off / dim when using the projector.
