Comments (13)Hey There! Keeping your colour temperature consistent makes the light flow from one room to another, however I do agree with the others above to create a more relaxed and ambient feel you would need to use warm white. However, if you have fallen in love with 4000k then stick to that! You don't need to keep your floor lamps and table lamps consistent with 4000k as you may want to opt for a lower colour temperature for these to create a more intimate setting. When buying LED downlights be sure to consider the price against what you are getting, new units should be complete with frame, globe and driver attached with a flex and plug these are easy for installation and usually come with a min, 2 year warranty. Don't forget it's also a great idea to separate your lights into different circuits if you feel that turning on all the lights will be too intense. This allows you complete control over the amount of light output by turning on different switches, plus with dimmers you will master the perfect lighting for every occasion. My last point would be to test the downlight out before purchasing all the lights for your home, if you are still hesitant about what colour you want to go for purchase 1 unit to test out - most are attached to flex and plug so you can just plug it into a powerpoint to test. Hope some of this help! Can't wait to see the end result :) Good luck with your project...See Morerequest for help with lighting tiny ensuite
Comments (12)There are a few downlights called or referred to as periscope D/L they can be positioned in a wall and will come out far enough to do the job but not restrict any light from the ceiling, I would never suggest only downlights for your task lighting, but they would do an adequate job, if thats the best you can do....See MoreWhich external wall light? please help with wall light design! :)
Comments (5)The second look like they are designed for stairwells so I'd be a bit wary about using them up higher as the light might be a bit "spotlight" and not diffuse enough. I think both styles work with your house design...See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
