Default Thought on LEDs for ceiling light

Some person on one of those house make over shows the other day was waxing
lyrical about led strips which from what he described were all ove the
ceiling, must have been an electricians nightmare, no matter how cool it
looked.

I made the decision and ripped out the 4 x halogens in the ceiling
(Shower room), I will replace with LEDs, to make life easier I want
standard fittings, no transformers and an easy change bulb.

My current thoughts are a central ceiling light with 3 or 4 LED lamps.
Thinking to go for 5 watt each. Anyone got experience re light levels
etc with this? Warm or daylight. it will need to be bright.

I want either bayonet BC22 although light fittings a bit scarce.
Or screw E27, Mainly because they may be around long enough to save me
changing fittings at a later date. Any issues with E27 or BC22 I am
trying to get some uniformity throughout the house as currently I have
thin screw type/wide screw type, Gu10 / MR16 and standard bayonet.

Any thoughts on the above as this is my first move to LEDs.


What were the halogens you ripped out? If they were GU10s I would have
left the fittings & swapped the lamps for good warm white LEDs
