This is not strictly true, the strobe lighting can trigger seizures in people who have Photosensitive epilepsy , which is a particular form of epilepsy. Strobe lighting does not CAUSE epilepsy. I appreciate that you had the best of intentions to help with your advice, but lots of people read these posts so please be accurate/specific with info like this. Thanks for those pics suh, I like the idea of wall lights to combine with the downlights. We do have downlights in our bedrooms in our current house, just the standard 4 downlights spaced evenly with the fan in the middle, but the wall lights might give the kids bedrooms in particular some individuality Bec Bedroom Lighting 12Jun 19, 2011 11:11 pm I made the mistake in my last house of not having enough lighting in the kid's rooms. I found you need a light near the wardrobe, for girls one near a dressing table and mirror, if you are having one. I'm not a big fan of lights in fans either. I love our glass downlights, to me they are pretty little features on a normally boring ceiling and our spare bedrooms aren't overly big and there are 4 DL's plus a fan and no strobing to be seen.

I agree, this is the case with the girls rooms currently, the rooms are really not lit enough with just the 4 downlights. Bec Re: Bedroom Lighting 14Jun 20, 2011 8:19 am We are having lights in the fans as mentioned above. I like those wall lights, they look really nice. My initial concern with those is that if you place them based on the bed position, you may end up with them looking out of place if you ever want to reconfigure the furniture in the room.
