We're having a house built and we've got to the point of deciding about lighting, would you have wall lights
in the lounge?
My wife feels they spoil the clean lines of the walls and that they are dated now, she wants ceiling lights and
table lamps.
Would you bother having wall lights or just wiring for them?
a trout light clamped to the curtain rail?
I would not have wall lights - I would however put in a multiple switch at the door switching lighting sockets in the room - so you can plug lamps in and switch them from the door
wall lights are for the 70's/80,s or museums/art galleries
ceiling/floor lights close to the wall, or, some concealed lighting behind some coving/a cut out in the ceiling. Have a read of
If you're having a property built, you'll be looking at energy management? lighting control systems?
Teej is right, some round-pin 5a sockets for control of table/floor lamps is a wise idea!
wall lights depend on what you've got throughout the property. If you're ultra modern (read: steel fittings) then somewhere like delta light could be a good port of call.
