The 1200 being slightly less I would use 2 with the wattsaver dimmer. They say it will dim down to 10% so really cannot go wrong. Standard dimmers just do not go down far enough.

I'd be happy to go up to 4 especially with dimmers installed. We didn't decide how many lights in each room until the house was almost finished and then got some samples to try out. We just put a junction box in each room which can take up to 6 lights I think? Is it an option to try samples out? Re: LED down light decisions 13Jan 19, 2014 9:48 am Wow xxkatxx you have 3 DL9's in a 3 x 4 room. That must be incredibly bright with all on full. Out of curiosity any idea how often you have them all turned up full.

They aren't overly bright? The only reason we went with 3 was because we were worried about dark spots in the room. We get a nice even light in all of our rooms but this could also be due to the diffused glass. I think they are spaced about 900mm off the walls and then in an even triangle over the important areas in each room. Re: LED down light decisions 15Jan 19, 2014 12:12 pm I agree guys, its all about personal preference at this point. Some peoples tastes are the total opposite to anothers who thinks 4x in a 4x4 meter room is good. My advice is, buy about 4x, and hold them up to the ceiling and see what you think. I now its primitive, but works, and could potentially save you a lot of money. Always remember a dimmer can be installed if you find its too bright Kind Regards, Kristin Lighting Expert Phone -1300 798 220 Email - service@golights.com.au Website - http://www.golights.com.au Re: LED down light decisions 18Jan 22, 2014 9:10 am No problem at all. Let us know how you go. It would be good to know how many lights you install in your rooms.
