Default Options for simple Kitchen Fluorescent light upgrade?

Hi Tim

I have a variaton to this, kinda.

I dont have any space betwixt top of units and ceiling, so I cut a 4x5 foot
oval from MDF and mouted it in the center of the ceiling 3 inches from it.
On top of this board are 4x20w compact under-cupbard style fluro's around
its periphery on one circuit.

Flush mounted into the center of the board are 4x 35w 12v halogen eyeballs
which give me directional light onto the table below, and cooker.

Works a treat .


Thanks, that's an interesting idea. I could fit something like this at
a later date, I guess. Is a 3-inch gap sufficient for the indirect
illumination? I'd have thought that would have cramped things a bit...


Cheers
