Downlights

[chillout]

Has anyone installed downlights and a central light? Would it work or look pants?
Your views are appreciated.

I think it would look ok.

Prepare for the eco warriors to tell you it'll look rubbish, but they are just saying that.

You don't really love downlighters???

 

[RF Lighting]

Yep. It's just part of my genetic makeup.

Until recently, I have not felt confident enough to reveal this. I told my parents first and then my close friends. It is a huge releif to me now this is out in the open.

I am proud to love downlighters, despite what some poeple will think of me for it.

I know alot of people say there a bit of a fad, but Im really not sure which way to go!

Downlights ok, centre light ok but not both together in domestic in the same room

spots and a central pendant fitting, separately switched i trust?

 

[chillout]

Yes it would be seperately switched, Ive only seen them commercial in a shop, thats where I got the idea from. As you say havent seen it in domestic premises as yet.

My old Ma's got them in her bedroom. Three wallwashers & a central pendant. Looks OK to me. Even though I'm not a dirty recessedlightophile like RF....

Go for it and let us know. I've tried the down lights and up lights combo but I think only the down lights get used now.

I have exactly that set up in my dining/playroom.

There's 4 downlights that are used when its a playroom. On the rare occassions that the adults are allowed to use the space for eating I fit an over-table pendant lamp into one of these

My up light, down light setup is in the playroom/dinning room and we haven't been able to get in for toys yet.

Ok I'll give m sparki the good news, as first I was having just downlights, then he put a feed in for a main light and left the downlight wires so can be done. Just need to get the hoods for the downlights and buy them. Costs alot more but be worth it I think!!??
