I have a 40W fluorescent ring type for an 18x9 foot kitchen which is
nice and bright but perhaps a little OTT since I have an 11W energy
efficient bulb lighting a similar sized room, the down side being it's
very dim to start with.

So what do you use to power your kitchen?

250w metal halide.

How are you using it? Upligher bouncing off ceiling?

I've got a 250W metal halide, but it's a 10,000K lamp
which does really horrible things to food (and most
other things too;-)

I have a halogen uplighter in the living room which I
don't think I've used for a good few years now. It was
designed for 500W lamps, but it's had a 225W (300W equiv)
lamp in it. I had thought about converting it to a 70W or
150W warm white metal halide.
