How many lights in a burger van......

[-Matt]

A coach building company I do work for built a posh "burger van" for a customer.

now I put 14 GU10 Downlights into this space which I and everyone thought was more than sufficient.

However the customer believes this is woefully insufficient, and wants an additional 25 fittings fitted! ie 49 GU10 fittings.....

At 400LM per bulb this is almost 20,000 lumens in a ----ing burger van!!

It will be 3 rows of lights, with each light 5 inches away from each other!!

Maybe I should fit halogen bulbs, and he will have some heat lamps


Do you guys agree this is excessive........?

I run 20 of them so zip up fatty or I'll cut your wife's hours......... ;o)))))

I'll have you know, I'm a lanky streak of pi$$ and my wife is a 20 stone cross dressing plumber named Nigel. Seems we both need a better class of lady in our lives...

The current bulbs are Elite 4W 4K bulbs, which are 400lm with a 60D beam angle.
It was a customer request to have replaceable bulbs.

It is just a standard trailer "burger van" that is towed with a van.

The full Articulated trailer's we have done have had less lights!

Will take a photo of the finished article......

Replace the ‘bulbs’
Go for at least 500 lm

Replace the ‘bulbs’

Also are the fittings suitably ip rated..
1. For all the steam
2. For environmental health reasons ( depending on how strict the inspectors are)

Agree - I use Enlite 5W and would recommend them.

You've fitted 14, are going to fit 25 more.

You charging the customer for 49. I like the cut of you're jib.

When the burger flipping grease monkey looks up to count them, make sure they're on.

stick a grid ceiling in and fill it with 600x600 panels.

"CAN YOU SEE YOU'RE BURGERS NOW? WELL CAN YOU?"

Not very straight- but no one will notice,there will be too much glare.

I think it's the reflection on the back row that makes them look out of line.
