Is there any rules or recommendations as to how many down lights you can fit. The room is a kitchen 4.6m x 3m and the lights I was thinking of buying are 12 x 50w gu10 tilting that adds up to 600w of lighting power plus there will be under cabinet lighting, is that too much for the size of room!!.

How many downlighters

I have ten in a living room of similar size, thankfully they're on a three gang switch so I can use them as the mood suites. When all on it's like bloody Old Trafford 
.
I'd will be going for six in our kitchen (similar size) + underlights.

At the moment in the middle of kitchen extension /refit and still have a single light fitting with 4 x 40w reflector bulbs which is no where near enough, whats the ideal spacing for 50w downlights, might be best to work it out that way.
