kstel1974: The "lumens thing" doesn't seem to be much of an issue except for about an hour before sunset when the west windows get direct sun. We have some pretty heavy duty venetian blinds on those windows, but it still brightens the room a lot.

And the software I used to do those drawings was Visio, which was really really nice, but it was bought out by Micro$oft a few years back. The functionality didn't change much, but the price skyrocketed.
