This is a bit of a vague question so my apologies for that.
Our kitchen has quite a high ceiling with a central pine beam running
along its length. Attached to this beam is a 6ft flourescent tube that
works well and gives a good working light. However it looks so dated
(over 30 yrs !!! ) that I suppose I ought to replace it with ???????

What lighting system will give a good light coverage and illumination
in the kitchen.
We have a 4 spot halogen fitment in the main bedroom which is fine for
there but would be of no use in a kitchen, so what are the alternatives
?

Thanks

Brian
