RE: [OT] Downlighters in a bedroom

["Jake Liddell" <Jake.Liddell@xxxxxxx>]

If by downlighters you mean halogens (or traditional spots) sunk into
the ceiling, I'd advise you to be careful where you put them.

We moved into our house a couple of years back.  The place was covered
in downlighters - not a single room was spared.  Whilst they're fine in
many rooms, I don't think they work well in a bedroom.  If you're lying
in bed, you find yourself staring straight up into them.  If they're far
away from the 'head' end of the bed, you might be ok,  but if it were me
I'd be looking at other forms of light.

Rgds,
Jake.

Looking at new lighting for the main bedroom and am considering
downlighters but I'm unsure whether the resulting light would be
right....

So anybody got them or opinions one way or the other ?

Room is 12'6 x 15' and I was thinking of 5x25 Watt (or maybe 35W) LV
Downlighters

Also the bestway for keeping loft insulation off the fittings. I've had
flower pots suggested.....

Not totally OT as they'll be wired via a LD11 ;-)
