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

very dim to start with.

So what do you use to power your kitchen?

10' x 8'

2 x twin 70W 6' flouros with diffusers.

We have a kitchen not a designer kitchen and want light not expensive
/ subtle / up / down / side / mood lightING. [1]

All the best ..
