Below is a photo of the kitchen in my new build house. It will have 900mm high worktops in a U shape at the end of the room.

Can you recommend me a good quality LED downlight?

As you will see the ceiling is high so I guess I will need something with a bit of power and a decent beam.

My electrician normally uses 6W 110 degree LED panels but I was thinking that I would need something with a narrower angle beam to give more intensity?

TL;DR

The higher the ceiling, the more light source is used to illuminate the surface. When using a downlight with a narrower beam angle the intensity of the light that hits the floor is greater than if you use a fixed downlight with a wide beam angle (120°) light is spread into the air and leaving the surface area darker. So, I think you need to go through more than one fixed LED downlight, with a wide beam angle, because it provide a uniform level of ambient lighting in a room or space

Thank you Saqib. So do you think wide angle is better than narrow angle for me?
