After 15 years we are finally getting a new bathroom and have had several quotes for some or all of the work. One of the quotes includes for 8 downlights (details not specified) which I feel is a bit excessive for a 1.7 x 2.7 metre bathroom. I had planned on installing 4 pyramid lights (115mm x 115mm) as per the photo, which the spec says take 12v 50W Gx5.3 lamps.
They would be installed as below;
I would really like to use LED lamps. Has anyone any experience of GX5.3 LED's? is there a version that would be equivalent to a 50W halogen and would four be enough for my bathroom? I don't really want to increase this number as I think the ceiling might start to get a bit crowded. However, the fact that the quote mentions 8 downlights has worried us slightly. Presently we have two circular fittings each with a 60W golf ball light which are perfectly adequate There will also be some additional lighting over the mirror.
