btw I hear you about the cleaning. The ones over the dining table are ok. Just need a dust which is easy. But my pendants in the kitchen are glass. Yep. Lots of cleaning needed there (except I don't do it so.. it looks dusty a lot of the time

My kitchen light at current place， your ballerinas will look much better.
Thank you every one for all your thoughts
I'm leaning more towards track lights for island bench and pendants for dinning room.

Eeeeekkkkk!!! *Danger Danger Warning Warning*
We have electrical appointment next week Tuesday, I'm totally in dilemma about what I should do for Island bench and dinning table lights.
So far I do have three light points on the ceiling above the Island bench and three light point above dinning table. If I have pendants over dinning table.... I don't think I should have pendants over the Island bench. In my opinions having pendant lights for both will be over kill.
Option 1. Three down/LED lights for Island bench .... Three pendant lights for dinning table
Option 2. Three pendant lights for island bench.... One pendant for dinning table
Option 3. Long track lights for island bench ..... Three pendant lights for dinning table
( will it be out dated to have track lights or totally over kill )
Option 4. ?????
How difficult will it be if I wants to put LED lights after handover... for island bench?

I had the same dilemma!! We have chosen option 2 for the same reason, too many pendants seemed overkill
Our Acacia build - viewtopic.php?t=86619
I think it depends what pendant light fittings they are. Ie, are they big or coloured, or small and glass? I think any of the above combinations could work great if you pick the right light fittings
Thank you Cat, we already paid for those extra JB next to the light point so we don't wants to remove them too. I will just have to go with hubby's choice.... down /Led for island bench and three pendants for dinning room. So less extra dusting over island.

Big delivery of frames arrived today. these are for upper floor and outdoor living area.
I should add - the other reason we just went with downlights throughout the lounge/dining area was that it wouldn't look odd if we decided to move the dining table a little bit away from directly under the lights.
With pendants, if you need a bit more circulation space on one side, or change the shape/size of your dining table then the lights either look out of place or you have to change them too
When it's just downlights, they are just lights in a grid in a room, so the furniture placement/size underneath doesn't matter so much.

Carpenters are back today. As per tradies windows should have arrived last week Friday so they can crane up windows to first floor before they start frames for first floor.
We have complimentary electrical appointment tomorrow. We still have much to add extra and change position of current light points.

Thinking of this light over dinning table.
May be too big?

One thing for sure very easy to clean!!
ooooh! How big is it?
The outer ring is 80 cm diameter. Looks simple and clean... can adjust to different angles. This will match circular shape for void chandelier lights and keeping very simple for island bench ( down light only).
Much different from what I will have for void area.
I have no idea what I was thinking when I purchased this huge chandelier 2 years ago....keeping my mouth shut now.

Same pattern 3 meter long... smaller than the one in the photo. All I can remember is oval shape at different angles.

I saw some nice circle pendant lights last week... which will be more suitable for void.
Option 1.
Option 2. 5 rings with different angles

Your carpenters still wear Sekisui shirts?
Not sure if carpenters were wearing Sekisui shirt, Don't they all wear same colour work wears. Either florescent green or orange colour shirts. I did remember one of the concrete guy was wearing Sekisui's shirt.
And Windows company had delivered all windows today. OMG those sliding doors are BIG!!

Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes. I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them.
