Hello guys,

Need your advise here.

My contractor plan to install 18w LED downlight to all area.

1. Is the downlight placement okay?

2. What is suitable watt for toilet? I prefer to have hotel feel. Not too dim and bright.

Bedroom 1 needed another 2 nos 6 inch downlights

If you want hotel feel make sure the light bulb color temperature is 4000k or 3000k, the lower the warmer color

Ohh... I thought, more watt more brightness.
Thanks for the advise.

Actually your living area need six downlights, 18w should be OK yet it depends on your ceiling height.

If you really want to make sure the brightness can ask if your contractor for lux meter to measure them on site for you.

He said, 4 downlight enough. If put 6 downlights will be very bright. I also don't know.

What do you think? (attached).

All areas will use 6" downlight(18w).

I just realize there are yellow colour rectangular on the living area, is that a ceiling light trough?

if yes the 4 downlight lights at living should be ok when you open both of the lights at the same time.

Yes. That's light trough. Plan to use this light when watching TV and want cozy feel(warm white).

Downlights will be used when need more light(cool white).

Thanks a lot ehwee
