Hello all,
 
I wrote several months ago asking about new flooring to  replace our nearly 
30-year-old stained, buckling carpet.  We  love the look of wood but 
decided that in our climate where  little bits of gravel are tracked in all winter 
and some people  enter without removing their ice-grippers it just wouldn't 
last.   After reading all of the responses from the Lists and talking to 
exhibit  designers, we decided on carpet squares.  We can use volunteer  labor 
to install them, and if an area is damaged or stained, we  will have to 
only replace a square or two.  A local business uses  carpet squares and they 
are just as attractive as rolled carpet.   Now we just have to raise the 
money.
 
We're also looking at lighting.  We want to replace the  rectangle 
fluorescent light units in our lower gallery with  trac lighting.  I've heard that 
there are no LEDs yet workable for  exhibit lighting.  Has anyone had recent 
experience or research  with LED or other efficient trac lighting?  Or, does 
anyone  have a recommendation for a company they trust where I could ask  
advice?  
 
Thanks for all the help.  I learn a lot and have many  questions answered 
just by lurking as well as with my questions.   Please keep answering on-line.
 
Jerrie
