Depending on efficacy that would make them around 8-12 watts, give or take. I think that Domus Scoop looks good!

Might I suggest re-arranging the bedroom downlights so there is at least one in front of the wardrobes. Probably don't need them over the bed head, you could use bedside table lamps for reading. I am guessing this type of light will only work in one direction of most homes, running parallel with the floor joists or roof trusses? Running the opposit way will mean obstructions from joists / trusses if they are a flush fit?

Re: Feedback on new home lighting design 16Mar 09, 2015 12:39 pm The Domus one I sent you is only 26mm deep, so assuming your builder is using metal ceiling battens (which is pretty standard I think), the battens are about 22mm and the plasterboard is about 10mm, which gives you 32mm recess before it fouls any structure.

Sounds like you have a lot of information, and I agree with most of it. I've noticed that you have positioned the lights randomly around the house. Although this is totally up to you, I do have to say that certain areas will be dark, and you may regret this at a later stage. Lighting should be uniform, and spread evenly across the ceiling, to not only provide lighting where you need it, but to also keep the ceiling looking neat and and clean. The Domus lights you have picked out are actually a fantastic light, with high cree values and excellent in home warranty of 3 years, so there will definitely be no problem there. I hope this info has helped Kind Regards, Kristin Lighting Expert Phone -1300 798 220 Email - service@golights.com.au Website - http://www.golights.com.au Re: Feedback on new home lighting design 18Apr 01, 2015 2:21 pm I tend to somewhat disagree, but not completely. If it were an office or a school classroom, or even a domestic kitchen I would agree 100% - uniform lighting is the way to go. However, for living spaces, circulation spaces etc where task lighting over the whole area is not really required, I believe qualitative lighting is the best way. Focusing brighter light on areas where it is required, such as paintings, architectural features, task areas etc, and using indirect ambient glow for some more general lighting. In most cases the reflected light off walls and ceilings from wall washers or indirect wall lights is enough uniform illuminance so you can see what you're doing. All you do most of the time in a living room is sit down and watch TV or something - you don't need much light for that. The big thing for me is uniform vertical illuminance (i.e. lighting up the walls). It makes the space feel bigger and more inviting I believe - rather than having a grid of downlights on the ceiling. Takes a bit more planning with respect to furniture layouts, artwork layouts, architectural features etc, but is worth it in my opinion.

Because we are professional engineers who work mostly in large projects we charge $220/hr and it's probably half a day's work including researching and selecting light fittings. I think your best bet is probably to find a good lighting supplier who would help you design and then do a package up. If you did that I would be happy to have a look at it and comment on it for you - no charge. If you're in SE Qld I can recommend a few good, honest lighting suppliers who I trust.
