Electrical works in a kitchen is notifiable to your labc through part p, installation of 12v lighting is also notifiable
Anyway, does anyone have any alternatives to downlights for a kitchen?
A 5ft fluorescent with a nice diffuser. That's what I have in mine. Cheap to run and loads of light.
Yes,Iknow the type and have fitted them.last time was in a farmhouse and they blended in well,the transformers I had out of the way in a store cupboard and switched them via a wall switch,so not too unsightlyTo be honest, i've never thought much of them either. My wife suggested them and i said no, but a single pendant type fitting isn't enough to light the room.
I was thinking of using one of those ELV 'track' lights where the lights are suspended off of 2 parallel wires (know what i mean?), but the massive transformers look rubbish. I'm open to suggestions as i really can't be aarsed fitting and paying out for LED downlighters anyway. They do look good for when selling the house though as women do love a "spotlight" arrangement in the kitchen...
Afraid not buddy! As for what's to say it wasn't like that a year ago, 1 cable is dated, 2 your labc would have it on record
i'd go for 5watt kosnic LEDs. alternatives from diamondledlighting.co.uk. but i would go for more than 6.
and too the modern man, dont go over a 1000mm between lights and 500mm off walls, i did a rare shaped room last week and it ended up every 850mm one way and 900 another to miss any joists.
and if too bright fit 35w bulbs/lamps or leds
i also found dimming leds isnt that good
I find kitchens tricky due to the number of wall units that can "appear" after the lighting is done. Stick a nice IP rated florry up. No flies get in, and a nice spread of light
Must admit that I'd not thought of IP rated fittings just to keep flies out. OK if the customer is into the industrial look!
My builder mate is planning to fit 20 in his kitchen / diner.
