Lighting suggestions

[mikeey84]

Hi All, we have just knocked through into an extension on the back of our 3 bed semi, with the intention of turning it into our kitchen.

We are converting the flat ceiling into a vaulted one (without roof lights), and I am not sure what sort of lighting would work.

Not a fan of spotlights. Does anyone have any suggestions about lights that work well in vaulted ceilings? The room is about 2.5m deep, and 4m wide. The vault runs across the 2.5m depth.

Thanks

I think you need a combination - spots, pendants, uplights etc. You need to light the vaulted ceiling as well as the working areas:

The fluorescent tube is still one of the best ways of lighting a kitchen, with modern HF ballasts they are nearly as efficient as LED and far cheaper to maintain, there is also a GX53 which can take LED still round spot lights, but larger diameter and can be surface mounted, and you can replace the LED module without changing whole lamp.

I agree with you completely.

The OP is "Not a fan of spotlights.", with which I also agree.
What more needs to be written?

I think it's all been covered.

Thanks for the posts all!
