Does everybody who builds put them in? I'm currently working out a lighting budget/plan and I'm actually pondering if they are necessary? Currently I live in an old 1940's redbrick with one light fitting per room and although not really bright the light seems sufficient. So I'm assuming the same would then apply to todays modern pendants? So if I have pendants in the loung, dining, bedrooms and other living areas do I really need downlights? I'm sure I'll want them in the kitchen but everywhere else??
What have you done and why?
