I'm in the process of finishing my basement which will hold all my trophies. I'm planning on putting track lights along the walls where animals will be. My question is: How far out from the wall should I place the tracks? I was thinking that you would not want the tracks directly above the animals, so would it be reasonable to place them 4 ft out from the wall, or would you recommend going further out to increase the angle of the light source? Thanks for the help.

Find a good lighting store and ask them. Bring dimensions of the room and size and location of the trophies.There are an increasing number of lighting products on the market ; wide angle lights , spot lights , low voltage , various brightness, etc. You need decent overall lighting plus spots for the trophies. Take the time to research it and you'll be much happier.

You know, the best place for lighting and I know it can't be done there is on the floor shining up on to the mounts. When I do shows I always have lights about a foot off the floor shining up onto my mounts. What a great effect!

I don't know if it can't be done....I've been looking for recessed lighting for a cement patio I'm building and there are some options. Check the stores.

Main problem no matter where heads are mounted is ceiling height.

Depends on the kind of lights used too. Spots from two sides seem to work well.

Big moose heads don't work in a 7 ft ceiling though. Need to have the bottom most part at least 6" above anyone's head when walking/standing under them I feel.
