Downlighters

[davebullocklive]

I know it's been asked a million times before but what would people fit in a kitchen these days
My last house we had 12v ones
Are the Jcc led ones as good
Everyone raves how much cheaper they are to run but is the light as good

 

[Taylortwocities]

Fit a couple of 58watt fluorescent tubes.

Plenty of light, cheap to run, few wiring issues.

Also - only two little tiny holes and one a bit larger in the ceilling.

If I were fitting downlights, I would forget about 12V and ago 230/240V. I would use I cage cans and opt for white/cool white LEDS. I know they are not everyone's cupa tea but people like them, and if designed right, they can add the wow factor and light up the area satisfactory.

 

[davebullocklive]

Has anyone used jcc downlights
What is difference between 6w and 7w and 3000k and 4000k

Oh - can just a few LED ones light an entire room satisfactorily then?

That would depend on size of room and what you consider to be a few!
I never mentioned a just few, just design.

Like I said if designed correctly, meaning factoring the room size and requirements for lighting. You can adequately light up the room. I know you don't like them, but we are not all you! I have done plenty of rooms with LED downlights being the only method of lighting, and I cannot say there has every been an issue with the rooms being lit up unsatisfactorily.

I guess you don't regard "by using lots of them" as meaning "unsatisfactory".

I guess you don't regard "by using lots of them" as meaning "unsatisfactory".

Not an issue to me with regards to the correct number required to light up the area, whether that be just a few or many.

I am not saying it is an efficient method of lighting, just that it can be done.

Like I say - you clearly don't regard "many" as meaning "unsatisfactory".

I am not saying it is an efficient method of lighting, just that it can be done.

If it's not efficient it is not satisfactory.

 

[RF Lighting]

I'm satisfied with lots of lights so it must be satisfactory.

People are allowed to like different things to you.

We light factories with lines of low bay lights they are just big downlighters in a big room.

One bright light in the middle of a room is not the best way to light it. It was done like this before people knew any better.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

People are allowed to like different things to you.

Of course they are.

And I'm allowed to point out that what they like is a flawed design.

 

[RF Lighting]

And I'm allowed to point out you're wrong.

3000k and 4000k

colour

3000 warm white
4000 cool white

4000 appears brighter to me

Pendants on fabric chords seem to be the latest thing, more show than practical really
