More questions!

Having just moved into a 20 odd year old place that hasn't been touched since it was built I have a nice array of batten holder and pendant lights.

Not being the shortest person on the street I'm getting p'd off with hitting my head on the pendant lights!

I liked the idea of downlighters in the kitchen, hallway and bathroom as this is what we had in the previous place, but it seems these are now universally hated most places on the net!

Someone on another forum recommended the flou GU10 bulbs but as I said in my other thread the couple of suppliers I phoned said they are rubbish!

Now I'm completely confused and open to suggestions on what to have in the bathroom, kitchen, lounge, hallway, bedrooms.

Cheers!

For the bathroom...

The Building regs divide the room up into zones depending on how close they are to bath/shower/basin etc. More here..

I'm planning on fitting these IP65 halogen downlights in my shower. They also meet the fire and sound regs without a seperate hood which is handy. They take a GU10 bulb but I haven't tried a GU10 fluorescent in them yet (fluorescent bulbs are longer than normal GU10 so they might not fit and/or the light spread might be different)

Scroll down to "IP65 Flameguard Downlight Housing"

The bexel is sold seperately. The one shown above has a chrome bezel but you can get glass ones that spread the light out a bit more....



I'm going for the frosted glass bezel (GF005)

Thanks for the comments guys!

I think the guy at the wholesalers said the flou ones have poor light output, whether they just havent looked at them fitted to judge this is another matter I suppose!

I think I am going to order a couple and see what they are like!
