Not really a technical query- so not sure if this is best here or in the projects section.
About to specify lighting for our renovation works which are going on. Electrician I believe is coming in next week (builder's subby) so need to make a few decisions.
Outdoor Lighting - we want this to be functional ( our garden is about 8m wide and 7m long) and we just need enough light to take the dog out at night but also to provide a bit of light to a 4 x 4m decked area. We were thinking of the up/down wall wash lights either side of our back window and the same either side of our bifolds which will face the decking, however after driving past a house the other day it occurred that these probably wont throw much light into the garden. I could go with an LED flood, but they dont have the same aethestic appeal as the up/down wash lights. Any ideas?
Kitchen - 4.5m x 3m - we were thinking of having a central general purpose light in the middle, then a light in each corner (a bit like a number 5 domino) but with the two sides linked, so we only have 3 switches. Not sure what fittings to go for though- dont think recessed is particularly for us. Kitchen is to be a shaker style if that helps and one corner used for a dining table. We will of course be having under cabinet lighting to help with the surfaces.
Any advice appreciated
