Thank you. So it's just gut feeling. But do you think you are better at knowing where to position lights than most of your customers, or do you think it is purely subjective?
(I am definitely better at choosing colours than most of mine are).
Ideal height for wall lights?

The problem is I can't be bothered to work such a thing out.
It's no good saying no wall lights just because there's a picture rail.
We have to fit them if that's what the customer wants, and so we suggest where the lights should go and still be asthetically pleasing with the picture rail in mind.
It doesn't want to be too near the picture rail.
I agree.
Have you ever been asked to fit something that you know will look terrible?

I wonder why that has always been your experience of such things.
There are roughly equal numbers of male and female designers in the UK, though.
Nothing difficult butNo, if I knew the place had been fixed upon according to some objective principle (as opposed to mere whim), I would like it. Honest.
What colour car? Black, silver or red. Definitely not sludge-coloured or wishy washy pale turquoise (unless it is an invalid car).
What was difficult about that?
I LIKE BRITISH RACING GREEN.
Get it?
Well, there you are - proof positive that you are stupid, ignorant, uncultured, and don't have a molecule of aesthetic sensitivity in your body.
Silver cars are disgusting, revolting, and, with literally just a handful of historic exceptions, by far and away the worst colour for a car ever dreamed up.
BTW - do you get it now?
I would take into account what else is on the wall, i have mirrors and flat tvs, on mine, there heights were more critical to me, so they was the deciding factor to get things symetrical
Its taken a while to get the full picture.
A bathroom wall. OK. So are they going either side of the mirror?
Then you put them in the right place to give illumination so you can glue your false eyelashes on.
I don't want to rain on your parade, dear Emily. But you have an issue that is more important than aesthetics. Nowhere on the product description does it say that these lights are suitable for use in a bathroom at all. In which zone were you planning to fit them?

Is the bathroom lighting circuit RCD protected?
Do you get it now?
I don't believe that to be true.
There isn't.
Do you get it now?
Really?
Why on earth do they ask someone who is so useless at that sort of thing that she cannot decide where she wants her lights in her own house because she is incapable of deciding for herself what she likes.
Do you get it now?
But it seems that everything you think about the position of the CU is wrong.
It seems that you want there to be rules which agree with you, when there aren't any.
Do you get it now?
We have.
And it's a much better clue than yours. You see we understand that you put things where you like them and where they work, not on the basis of some totally bogus formulae, such as "the right place to put wall lights (with shades) for maximum aesthetic effect is at a point which is between two thirds and three quarters, ideally 0.71, of the distance from floor to ceiling, that point being the centre of the light".
Do you get it now?
BECAUSE THERE IS NO ANSWER!
Do you get it now?
I would put MY lights in MY bathroom where I liked them.These wall lights:
http://www.diy.com/departments/colo...-lamp-halogen-single-wall-light/589688_BQ.prd
on a bathroom wall 2.1 m high and 2.45 m wide. No coving, no picture rail.
Where would you put 'em?
Do you get it now?
You might think you like it. But how would you know? You don't have a *(&*^$*!)#@ clue what you like.
Do you get it now?
OK - I will fulfil your hope, demonstrate confidence, and advance a theory (of which I am certain).
Your formula is complete b****cks.
My opinion is that you are the last person anybody should ask to make decorative decisions for them.
My theory is that you are a sad, pathetic, inadequate, snivelling little troll.
Do you get it NOW?
4 days and 4 pages.
Long past time somebody said what we are all thinking.

Emilly, I assume you are getting an electrician to fit these for you, would it not be wise to talk to them about this problem you have with light placement.
Failing that I know a good doctor, that maybe able to help you out!
You could use a formulae on light luminance, illuminance, surface relfection etc.
Then find the ideal spot for lighting the area, then say I don't like it there lets put it somewhere else, that looks more ornamentally pleasing!
Your the person who claims to have an eye for these things, can you not work this detail out yourself? You have had all the information you required in the very first page of this topic.
