Anybody out there know the step by step on how to balance the exposure on lights in the ceiling. Bracketing the exposure works for keeping uniformity on the ceiling but I get a blown out light.  
 
Got any suggestions.

Let them blow out. It's far too high a spread of exposure difference to be able to bring in detail. At least that's my opinion and I've never had someone complain.

You could do the HDR thing, bracketing down from your optimal and then tone map the result to a resonable image.

Thank You for the tips. I have been looking for video tutorials on this subject as well as balancing the indoor shot and the outdoor shot through the window. My experience in photography tells me to meter and shoot both and then put the shots together in Photoshop. I have tried this and it seems to work but there is always a trick or two around to help with the understanding. Do you have any ideas?
 
Hope all is going well.
