Hi, I'm wanting to have some downlights fitted with gu10 LED bulbs 4w equivalent to 50w. The ceiling measures 5.92m by 3.57m. Can anyone advise how many would be suitable for this room size and how best to space them. Thanks

BTW a 4W LED lamp will only be likely equivalent to 35W. Keep an eye on the beam angle as well.

I've just ordered some of these as my demo samples:
Ledlite LED Downlights IP66 Fire Rated
You can change your mind about beam angle after they're installed, which is nice.

And here's a pic of a job where the electrician didn't talk to the customer about the kitchen layout (not mine):

i know of a case similar to this but it turned out that the customer decided to have extra units fitted without telling the spark

Personally when fitting spots, I work out where the joists are then mark on the ceiling where the lights are going to be and ensure they look right, in a kitchen I would go approx 1m apart, in a lounge stretch it to about 1.5m apart.

Draw the room out on a piece of paper and mark the lights on, it usually gives a good idea, or if a kitchen draw on the plans

I doubt that they would meet the usual 0.5m separation from nearby surfaces instructions!
If they did, put adjustable down lights in to provide "an indirect lighting experience without overpowering the user with reflective light"!
Planned and played for obviously:speechless:
