Quiz - down lights and that extension
http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php/File:Spotlights.jpg OK so we have first fixed the basement and ground floor of the extension. And the customer seems to like down lights. We will also be rewiring the existing house. So how many down lights will we end up fitting when the job is complete? There are no detailed plans so I do not know the answer ATM. However the person closest to the answer (when we have finished the job) will win a prize[1]. If it helps at all I can tell you that the basement extension has 54 down lights. [1] Probably a **** one -- Adam |

So far Bedrooms 4 and 5 have both been 1st fixed (and their ensuites and dressing rooms) All spotlights. Both skylights are having LED strip to light them up. I set up the tower scaffold on Saturday for the Master bedroom 1st fix. And guess what - that's all spot lights. The games room will have a 12 gang dimmer switch.

Nothing tacky about that, it makes sense to have them where its easy to ensure that they work reliably. |

Certainly the house needed a fraction of that amount. 50 rolls if you include the 3 core and earth. All outside lights are radials back to the garage [1], that used a fair bit. Radial circuits for two pumps, 2 fridgefreezers, 2 dishwashers, coffee machine, 2 ovens, microwave, quooker tap, hob. A radial for every room stat - this is UFH with separate stats for every room and don't forget that there are 5 ensuites and 5 dressing rooms) plus all the wiring from the manifolds back to the boiler. [1] Apart from the two lights on the master bedroom balcony but even they used up over 20m from the bedroom switch to the lights. -- Adam |

The other gangs of that switch will do the rest of the lights in the bedroom and some will be two wayed to the side of the bed. So 20m of cable from the lightswitch to the outside lights. -- Adam |
