I am replacing a single bulb in a bedroom with two LED down lights. The room has been modified with a built in closet that insets into the room. Where should I put the two lights?
@mez
If me I would only have one LED down light. They are brighter than the old filament bulbs. I am assuming that you will have bedside lights? These give you lighting obviously when you are in bed so the main LED light would normally be off.
As for wardrobe, maybe the second downlight inside it.
My thoughts based on our lighting layout in similar sized bedroom. But
I tend to err on the side of intimacy lighting for bedrooms :)
@BigD I’ll probably put a dimmer switch in, and if possible a secondary one where the bed would be. I think even if I did 1 light I’d have a similar question.
@mez Dimmers are great. If one light, I would position approximately at where the foot of the bed would be.
It's good you are planning this because if left to the sparky, the centre no matter what would probably be chosen.
I planned our new homes lighting, but the sparky thought two more in the lounge is needed, so put them in to my disgust. Had to put a dimmer in.
@BigD The sparky is only going to do the required bits :)
I swapped all the 6k lights in the lounge and kitchen to a more pleasing warmer setting. That’s been nice.
