Need electricians advice. Moving ceiling light without chasing ?

[DT1991]

You have a long way to move over compared to the one in that link, it would not give the same effect and in my opinion you would quickly regret it.

you are probably right. do you think i should leave it as it is and just put a spot light unit there? or do you think i should used curved trunking? or find some kind of track lighting?

out of the three options what would you go with?

 

[ruston]

I think for you to be happy with it you will be have to go with @telectrix suggestion . It will always be on your mind in my opinion.

What you do is get an adapter for the track to put any light you want on to the adapter. i.e. a track light adapter you would be looking for.

thanks so much for your reply and showing me the links. just to summerize so i know i understand this right. Say for example i wanted 3 lights on the track, what i would need to buy would be a track, 3 adapters? (one for each light) and then 3 of whichever pendants i like?

thanks so much for your reply

Exactly that. You should also make sure you get the terminal end which the wire/supply goes into and attaches to the track. As a slight aside you can get the track to go at 90 degrees as well with a 90 degree connector.

hello. not quite sure what you mean, but i have been looking around online and i think i have found something suitable that i like. could you take a look at the link and tell me what you think? its about 6 foot long so it will cover most of the ceiling. but it says it takes G9 bulbs, i have a lamp that takes a G9 bulb and it isnt very bright, but this one i found does have 5 of them and it says its a 33 watt which is the equivalentt to a 43 watt regular bulb (33 watt per g9 bulb i assume), just worried it might not be bright enough like my regular 60 watt bulb is. also i would probably use the cool white LED g9 bulbs instead of the warm white g9 bulbs that comes with this

you would need 5 x 5watt LED bulbs to match the light output of those halogen ones. not seen G9 > 3watt.

i found these ones but i have no idea why they are not as long as regular g9 bulbs

 

[telectrix]

that looks like a solution. they are shorter because the clue is in the description....compact. ( that does mean they fit in a lampholder, not a make-up bag. .)

lol thanks, so the length of them doesnt effect the brightness? it would be just as bright as a regular length one?

 

[telectrix]

the brightness is only governed by having sufficient voltage. lack of volts will only occur on a much longer cable run.

6000K colour temperature in a living room - yuk!

If you are just looking for equivalent to a standard 60W bulb then these Crompton G9's will be more than sufficient, and 4000K is a much more pleasant colour than 6000K
