Ross, I think it might make more sense to have a general 'Technical Details' section as lighting questions seem inextricably linked with things like ventilation and temperature and how to control those.
But then, I thought that was what this section was for? Maybe it is just a case of threads being in the wrong place - all spread out. Unfortunately, this often comes up as a topic after the thread has been posted (appropriately) elsewhere.
I agree it would be helpful to be able to point people to a specific forum area (to at least narrow down their search).
Two other things to throw out there - not sure if it is technically possible? 1) Have 'ready made' searches to help people - like the 'new posts' search. Many people could view this just as another forum section and not even realise that it is a search. 2) For that to be effective, it would probably help if more threads were rated by people who are knowledgeable in the topic area, and then the search was displayed in descending order by rating. That way, people were shown the most helpful info at the top.
Just my 2 cents....
