bathroom lighting?

[fingerjabber]

hi, i'm wanting to fit 4 spotlights in the bathroom to replace the single centre light and want to fit them equally spaced from the corners so some will be in zone 1.

which sort should i go for the 12v low voltage or the 240v ones? i've seen these from screwfix

which would you recomend and which would be the easiest to fit into the existing wiring?

cheers, andy

Its a totally personal preference! both your links are quite acceptable to do the job. I have personnally used the 1st link they are 240v so you just need to run the supply to your current lamp around the 4 new ones connecting through all the lives and neutrals.(double insulated so no earth to worry about)((by connecting through i mean all the lives are daisy chained together on one side of cable and all the neutrals on the other side of cable. not live/neutral joined!!))

Don't forget that in terms of placement:

a) You may be dictated by the position of joists and services
b) Spacing out equally is not necessarily the best move as I found out, documented in this thread:
