Lighting advice for a flat

[down2earth]

Hi all,

Been a while since I have posted on here, I'm looking for some advice on the best lighting for a small kitchen in a flat, the kitchen has no windows and currently has a woefully inadequate 4 lights in 1 unit set up. Unfortunately the ceiling is concrete so I can't put spots in. Also what are the regs for lights above a kitchen sink apart from common sense and not putting them too close.

Any help gratefully received.

The easiest, cheapest and most effective option is probably a good old fashioned flourescent fitting as others have said.
Not very fashionable though.

What's wrong with a good quality head torch, light wherever you go

depending on the age off the flat, is it possible to put a false ceiling in? or board it out.


you could possibly use led panels, there are ceiling mount boxes for them as well

Have never actually seen a light above a kitchen sink anywhere to be honest, is that a request from the client? Depending on how low these ceilings are and how hot the water is going to be, not sure they would be too happy you sticking a vapour proof flour above the sink. Rethink the fitting above the sink.

There are loads of modern fixtures you can recommend and have a chat with the client and see what they want. Again depending on ceiling height and budget you could put a false ceiling in. You can get PVC ceilings that are used in Kitchens/Bathrooms that allow you to even put the dreaded downlighters in
