I might be in the minority here, but my poker room is in an unfinished area of my basement. It's clean, there is an outdoor/indoor rug on the concrete, the walls are mostly covered with pictures & neon lights, there is a TV and most importantly a poker table and chips. But the ceiling is open to the floor joists above. I have 3 open light sockets with exposed bulbs...not very attractive and really bad on my eyes. Anyway, I came across these LED light fixtures at Home depot that just simply screw into these open sockets (commonly found in unfinished basements) and provides way better lighting. They look so much better than an exposed bulb and gives off a much nicer, softer light. Not exactly ground breaking, but I thought it was a cool, cheap upgrade worth sharing.HD has these listed for $20 apiece online, but in store they are $8 and change apiece (and they should last about 30 years).
