    COMPACT FLUORESCENT DOWNLIGHTS

    - I want these in my new kitchen, (4.2m x 3m). I thought 6 lights evenly spaced (2 rows of 3) with maybe 2 x 18w G24D lamps. Trouble is I can't calculate the wattage necessary. i.e 2x13w, 2 x 26w etc.etc. Anyone out there familiar with the output of these & what wattage is required?

    socket boxes depth

    My plasterer says the socket and switch boxes on first fix are too deep (25mm) for cement plaster (12.5mm). I tried chiselling 12.5 cavities but found the concrete blocks are hollow so the chisel goes straight through. Any solution to have flush sockets would be very welcome
