hoping you could advise.

I am hoping to finish off my bed/sitting room.

1 Half of the room is pretty much completed but the other half is still in need of work.

My idea was to move the light switch to the correct side of the door and replace exsisting main light and side lights with something more modern. Someone has recently mentioned having downlights installed.

Was just hoping to get some advise and opinions, please see photos below

Please note that the wallpaper is all stripped now and planning on re-skiming wall so similar finish to the completed half

Well, keep your head down. You'll not get much help on fitting torchlights on this forum.

You want something modern? Downlights are sooooooo last century.

He could fit fire rated down lights though, the ones I fit made by jcc comply with 30 mins, 60mins and 90 mins, and they have an acoustic seal something else to bear in mind. Two nice fittings would be better though

holmslaw - The property is a 1950's bungalow and was re-wired when we moved here 8 years agom, this room used to be just a living room so would the ceiling still be "fire rated"? sorry not sure what "5 amp sockets controlled by light switches" are?

5parks - I will google search jcc and see what they offer, but am I correct that I will need "fire rated" downlights in this room if i go ahead with the downlights?. What other fittings would you suggest?
