Hi Linda, do you have a photo of the light fittings?

If its in Australia, its the law to use an electrician. Otherwise you won't be covered by any insurance, personal or home ins.

There will be no island, but there will be dining table, like this: I was thinking to put 3-4 pedant lights over kitchen countertop, like on this image: Additionaly, under lowest shelf will be led task light, and probably above dining table will be pedant lamp also. Tall chimney column will be made in bricks, so we are thinking to put small, gentle accent light from the top, but that light should be only for decoration purpose. Will that be ok? Is it too little/too much?

Yes Jacqueline, we are in Qld, and at the moment, the humidity is stifling. Not much breeze til late afternoon for months and we're not going to have air con in for at least the first Summer. I get those fans don't work for you but builder hasn't batted an eyelid, ha ha! I must admit, I don't love obstructing the kitchen pendants but I have small kids and our dining table is a homework space, crafting bay, meeting point with friends for morning teas, etc, not just a dinner table, so it's imperative we have a fan somewhere in this space. We currently have the same layout of dining, living, kitchen and there is just one fan between the dining and living and it does absolutely nothing for anyone in either of those rooms (I currently have two pedestals blaring, ha ha!), so it was high on my list to amend...somehow! As for the lights, I'm glad you have confidence in Beacon. I wasn't sure how much of their advice centres on design vs functional layout of lighting. I think your idea of many dimmers is great! I had requested it already for master and MPR (front lounge area) but wondered if I would be being pedantic seeing them elsewhere. But I think it would be great to be able to dim the lights in the living area as you're winding down for the evening, maybe reading a book or just creating some atmosphere. Thanks for your input.
