Hi,
Im looking for some professional advice with regard to downlight positioning. It has been a long time since i have installed downlights and they have advanced to the point of too much choice/option so i am going round in circles trying to position them to avoid coning/black spots/burning my retinas out!
I am having an extension built which consists of 3 areas i require lighting for. (i am looking at using the Robus Ultimum 5w 60 degreee lamps unless advised to use 7w)
room 1 - Study, 2420mm x 3923mm. With beam layout i was looking to install 6 spots as shown on the attached drawing, or would i get away with 4 moved in slightly?
Room 2 - Utility, 2900mm x 1506mm. as per drawing looking at 3 lights, 2 in walkway and one over counted/sink.
Room 3 (the issue) 5631mm x 4000mm wrapping around with offset roof lantern :-(. Within this room i was looking at 3 rows of 4, 600mm from edges which would give me a spacing of 1495 between lamps (ceiling height is 2.4m) with an additional 2 lights fitted at one end of the lantern.
The other issue with this room is I am going to install a 65" TV on the outside wall - 2000mm to the centre which would fall directly under a light. I am considering doing 3 rows of 5 which would give me a spacing of 1000mm and downlights positioned either side of the proposed TV location.
Any help, words of wisdom or feedback would be appreciated since i need to wire this soon before plastering etc.
