Most spotlight lights which are designed for use in a kitchen, use mains voltage GU10 halogen lamps. There are now an increasing number of low energy spotlights which will accept only low energy light bulbs.

For the kitchen, depending on its size, a bar or track spotlight will give the greatest lighting flexibility as you will be able to direct each individual spot light to whichever point in the room the light is most required. For example, a 4 light bar spotlight could be positioned in the middle of your kitchen ceiling and then direct one spotlight towards your kitchen sink, one towards your cooker and perhaps point the other two at your work surfaces.

Lighting a Stairway and Landing

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

Are you trying to get an idea for the best type of ceiling lighting or wall lights to use for your stairwell and landing? There are many solutions. Probably the most important thing to remember is that if you are going to install lights directly over a staircase, the light or lights must be positioned in a way that makes it easy to change the light bulbs.

...

Perhaps you are looking to make a feature of your stairwell by hanging a large ceiling chandelier or a long drop pendant ceiling light from the ceiling of your landing so that it drops down by the side of your staircase. This can be an attractive ornamental feature that your visitors can admire as they ascend your staircase.

A landing with a gallery gives an even greater choice, wall lights on the landing which match a central hanging ceiling light. Wall uplighters on the stairs walls to light the way downstairs or upstairs.

For safety reasons, the positioning of any lighting in area of a stairwell should be considered carefully. Apart from ease of lamp changing thought must be given to adequate lighting levels on and near the stairs even if your staircase only has a few steps.

It is normal in any house to have two-way switching so that you can switch on at least one landing light before mounting the stairs. Consider using more than one switch for controlling the wall and ceiling lights on your stairwell and landing. Accent lighting could be used, perhaps by the use of picture lights, recessed lights or spotlights to light the corners.

Dimmable Ceiling and Wall Lights

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Which of your ceiling lights or wall lights are suitable for dimming? The answer depends on the type of light bulb that the light fitting takes.

Standard incandescent light bulbs are most always suitable for dimming. Other types of light bulbs that can be dimmed are Halogen GU10 lamps. These types of lamp are commonly found in kitchen spotlight bars and single spotlights.

It must be stressed that it is important always to consult an Electrician if you are in any doubt as to the suitability of a light fitting concerning the use of a dimmer switch. Too many lights on one dimmer switch could cause a problem.

If you would wish to be able to dim the lighting in your bathroom, consult your Electrician as he would be able to offer you the best advice.

Using a dimmer switch or dimmer switches in a room can completely alter the ambience of the room. For example, recessed lighting in a kitchen can benefit from the installation of a dimmer switch. During food preparation times it is generally helpful to have as much illumination in a room. However and certainly if you kitchen serves as a reception room or dining room, the ability to dim the lights at certain times is certainly very useful.

Many contemporary light fittings now use mains voltage halogen G9 capsule bulbs; this type of light bulb is also suitable for dimming. It is important though not to confuse these with the smaller G4 low voltage light bulbs which are generally not suitable for dimming as there is a transformer involved. We would say generally, because some of these light fittings come either with touch dimmable control within the fitting or and again, consult your Electrician about this, can be dimmed with a specialist dimmer switch.

Dimmer switches can enhance the lighting scheme in your home. Whether used for your ceiling or wall lights, a well thought through lighting layout incorporating dimming technology will allow you to increase the flexibility of your lighting scheme.
