Default Kitchen Lights help please

Why have 750W just for the main lighting? Do you have a one man vendetta

750W seems to be amount recommended by those with downlighters for a kitchen
of 28 sq m. Perhaps downlighters are less efficient/practical?

It is a shame that strip lights don't look nicer... They seem much more
practical in a kitchen...




Guess why offices use em throughout...

The MOST efficient INCANDESCENT is a bare bulb dangling on a bit f
wire. about 10W/sq meter. Any kind of mood lighting, wall lights,
standard lamps or downligheters is about 20W/sq meter.
