Number and positioning of downlights in living room
Hi,
I'm having downlights fitted in my living room tomorrow, but am a bit worried about getting the number/positioning right. Want the room to be quite bright and well balanced. Details as follows: -Room about 12x13 -Chimney breast and bay window to consider -Painted white -Option to add additional table lamps etc and my fireplace already has a downlight on it As this is quite a small room I had initially planned to place 4x50watt eyeball downlights in a square. But having read some of the posts here I am concerned that this won't be enough. Problem I have is that the other half isnt keen on having loads of these all over the ceiling, but I know she won't be happy with dim light! Shape of the room makes positioning the lights tricky when I try to bring more than 4 into the equation. Looks something like this (Obviously not to scale. _____ ______ ! !__________! ! ! !___ ! x x ! ! ! (Bay Window) ! ___! ! x x ! !_______________________! Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated before D Day 2moro! Really want to get this right! Thanks all SPC |
