So my next door adjoining new neighbour has electrical jobs and asks if i can put a few dimmer switches in for them.
The kitchen has 9 spots recessed in the ceiling in a lovely square nine.
I decided to open up the middle one to find the wattage of the lamps etc to see what is required and find that the centre one is about 10 mm from a slightly charred ceiling joist. Kitchen fitter no doubt as it was done up by a previous owner a couple of years back.
Nine 12 volt 50 watt spots, now I am asked if i can get a brushed steel dimmer. what wattage would you get? I'm tempted to advise them to move them but that would require virtually a completely new ceiling if you want it to look nice unless a plasterer can cut out a one foot square and join to existing and make it look pretty still.
i want a simple solution and i think lowering the wattage of the bulbs to something like 35 watts or even 20 watts may help but ideally they really want ripping out and moving. RF lighting, John d etc
What would you do???
