Hi,
I have a few questions about down lights. I’d be interested to hear from DIYers and professionals.
1) My toilet is less the 1m x 2m, how many lights do I need? There is currently 1 light fitted with a energy saving bulb with is great, it hangs off the ceiling giving great light coverage, I’m unsure if 1 down light would do the same.
2) Hole in ceiling, I’ve noticed the lights have different cut out sizes, is there a more popular size I should stick to? Should I start off with a small hole in case I need to change the light in the future and can make the hole bigger, in case a hole needs to made smaller, is there anything on the market to help over the holes or is it new ceiling time?
3) Integrated bulb or replaceable bulb? My brain is saying replaceable bulb for obvious reasons.
4) What wire, twin & earth or 3 core flex?
5) Position of lights, is there a trade secret that will help me with placement or is it just a case of getting a tape measure out and drawing marks on the ceiling?
thanks.
