RT Lighting is in Midland, extremely helpful and actually we've ended up buying just about everything from them. Thanks Bip and Mrs Smith too for your comments and suggestions. Still need to find some exterior lights suitable for salt air (we are building down south near coast). I'll try the other stores you mentioned. Brought my pendant lights today for over kitchen bench - ended up with chrome ones (I hope they will look okay - its hard to image until they are up isn't it!!) I wished I'd brought pendant lights first then brought other ones in the room to match, did it other way round then couldn't really match them to pendants I liked, so had to compromise! A big learning curve is building!!! If anyone has exterior lights (photos) suitable for coastal areas I'd love to hear. (Don't want the stainless steel tubular ones that just shoot light up and down, need a bit more wider light).

Thanks I'm just wondering why you would have to go to the expense of 316 SS if you are EAST of Perth? I thought they considered 'coastal' and the need for marine grade, etc to be within a couple of km's of the coast line? Maybe you could save a few dollars on the grade of SS if you check the recommendations? Oceanic with Nautilus upgrades.

Re: Lighting Shops & Pendant Lights - Perth 8Apr 18, 2010 9:25 pm I've actually seen houses with downlights in the eaves and it looks fantastic. Projects a triangle of light onto the walls, and does light up the yard. Combined with some lights pointing up into some grass-like plants out the front it looks stunning. If you need to project light out sideways, the cheapest way is to get those lights that curve around and open out. Then it will focus the light away from the walls. (Sorry I can't remember what they are called!) Re: Lighting Shops & Pendant Lights - Perth 9Apr 28, 2010 3:10 pm We are getting our kitchen pendants from Alti on Stirling Hwy in Claremont... very nice pendants but quite pricey. Just down the road is Lighting Gales which is nice, big range and quite affordable. We're getting all our Oyster lights from Beacon but for feature lights you do get what you pay for I believe. Re: Lighting Shops & Pendant Lights - Perth 10Apr 28, 2010 10:14 pm Thanks for all your replies. We went to Tilly's , what a great shop! Ended up getting exterior lights called lancelot from Beacon lighting (had a special on) and pendant lights from RT Lighting at Midland. Never thought choosing lights would be so hard and time consuming! One more job ticked off the list!!
