North Facing Kitchen Light Replacement

islanderre

Hello All,

I have a north facing kitchen which measures approx 4.M5 x 5.5M; problem is only one ordinary light fitting is installed which I currently have fitted with a 100W bulb but still light is quite poor when dark outside.

So any one have any ideas with what to replace the above with????? Was thinking of a tube type light fitting but am afraid this would be too industrial looking????

Ceiling is a metal frame type with plasterboard so have to bear in mind a fitting that would not be too heavy.

Any ideas welcome......

Downlighters?

When you say downlighters; I presume you mean recessed lights????? Not keen on those as they are supposedly inefficient and also I think are difficult to work in as they seem to be very poor at shedding light in shadows so to speak.....could just be me though!!!!!!!

Thanks for the suggestion Hunter164

i'd say a circular florescent light fitting would be suitable , a 28 watt 2d

Could you not just put another light in the kitchen?

Cheers for all the replies folks,

Looks like I'll go with the twin fluorescent type light.

Thanks again
