Energy Efficient Lighting Gallery / Tour / Tutorial or Video
I am looking for some visuals to help design energy efficient lighting for a new home (and persuade others in the project!). Can anyone point me to some good resources for reviewing some options for the various types of lighting and rooms? I would like to see some good photos / video of installed lighting - ideally not focussed on the modern look, but something more traditional. Ideally it would be good to have the model and brands of the fixtures pictured. Are there any online design tools that allow one to play with the lighting options?
Thanks
Patrick

Patrick,
I suggest you start here: IBACOS High-Performance Lighting Guide.
You might be especially interested in this page: Room-by-Room Designs.

Gotta say I find the IBACOS resource disappointing. Reads like an infomercial for the can light industry. This exact same phrase turns up on about every page: "The recessed lighting design, using recessed downlights (with clear reflectors), provides a subdued and elegant pattern of lighting with excellent glare control." Relying on can lights as baseline ambient is NOT an efficient lighting strategy.
