choosing 4 bar ceiling light

[fleabite]

Hi,

I've been looking at what's available on line and have got myself rather confused. Considering energy usage and light output, should I choose a fitting with GU10 led holders or ES holders? If I choose the ES ones I could use LED or ordinary bulbs as necessary.

The light bar will be in my bedroom, with a area of about 3mx3m to be lit. Quite what size lamps I will need I can't work out.

Hope someone can help, please,

I think ppl with tell you spot lights on a bar don’t do a good job of lighting a room.

AndyPRK,
Yes, this slowly dawning on me. I'll put up a good central light and then see just how much more I'd need by way of table lamps, etc.
Thanks for posting helpfully.

Yes, this is slowly dawning on me. I'll put up a good central lamp first and then see what I need afterwards.
Thanks for you help.

This.

Only to be fitted if you enjoy a narrow beam of light shining directly into your eyeballs & casting shadows everywhere.

A standard pendant light is a much better option in most circumstances.
