We want pendants down over the kitchen island and there will be a ceiling fan over the living area so strobing could be an issue for downlights. The ceiling height will range from 3.0m to roughly 4.6m I think. We don't want halogens anywhere in the house which leaves us with three options that I can see:
1. CFL Downlights (given the budget for the whole reno LED is probably out)
2. Ceiling mounted spots like http://www.buysterlighting.com.au/Crompton-Lighting-BLLS60403-CRM1769.html
3. Pendants - leaning towards T5 fluoros like http://www.ozlighting.com.au/Eglo-PSI-Opal-Glass-Nickel-One-Light-Pendant-P1665.aspx
Has anyone got any suggestions for lighting such a room? Given that it's a cathedral ceiling I gather it's harder to change things down the track later as you can't access the roof cavity.
