How do we calculate how many recessed modular flourescents we need on a 600mm square grid? The office in question is mainly open plan approximately 9m square. I assume the lighting requirement would be consistant throughout rather than specific to work stations. Any advice would be greatly...
Hi All,
Has anyone had problems with ceiling PIR's controlling LED downlights?

Hi All,
I'm returning from a few years out of the trades and wonder what sparkies do with rewires now.
