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. The bedrooms will all have Lightwave RF switches and for the ultimate in tackiness the ensuites and dressing rooms will have PIR sensors. -- Adam |

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

What lamp is going in the downlights RO60s? ;-) 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. All the relaxing ambience of a motorway services.. No wall socket or floor circuits for table lamps? The games room will have a 12 gang dimmer switch. Don`t need to go full Lutron building management but gotta think a scene setting panel and remote dimmers would have been easier to fit. The bedrooms will all have Lightwave RF switches and for the ultimate in tackiness the ensuites and dressing rooms will have PIR sensors. No reading the paper on the throne for too long then ;-) Is there an additional award for guessing amount of cable going in, guess your going to go north of 3km total -- Adam |
