Hi,
We are doing an extension and would like some advice about how many downlights we will need in our new room.

The new room is 7m x 5 m and it comes off the kitchen. Here is an image (new room labelled FAMILY)

We were thinking 8 and having them on 2 switches - the four in the middle, and the four on the outside.

What do you think?

Thanks
Andrea

Hello there Andrea,

The setout you have opted is perfect. Keep it simple, and useable.

Good work!
