Help - lighting for large rectangular table (single power outlet)
Comments (25)Thank you! Very clever. Hmm. I have no idea - ha ha! What are the white lights. I'm slightly concerned that the whites won't match. There are so many whites. The coppers might not match either. Could just do 5 mediums at different heights or 3 mediums and a few small - all in the striped. Not sure. They would be in a straight line as that's how the track is. What do you think might look best? My table would be going across the room and is bigger than that table so lights wouldn't be as close to the table. Do you think all stripes would be too much? Thanks for doing those ideas - really appreciate it....See MoreKitchen diner lighting design
Comments (4)Hi there, Sounds like an exciting time with your project! Having been through something very similar in the last 6 months I have to say, I couldn't agree with your final statement anymore if I tried! We had given very little thought to our lighting and I have to say, what we have ended up with enhances the room more than I couple possibly have imagined! I was a real sceptic about lighting at the outset! We have ended up with a very cleverly 'zoned' lighting system so that we can highlight the kitchen, dining and living areas of our open plan room separately. I am not sure if this is helpful but this is what we ended up with and how 6 months down the line of daily use and entertaining we actually use it in the room; 2 pendant lights on dimmers over a 2.5m dining table, with no downs lights in this area. 3 pendants over our island, also on a dimmer but with down lights in this area. 1 ceiling / pendant light in our seating area with additional down lights in this area. Additionally we have warm led strip lights on open shelving above our sink run in the kitchen. All of our down lights are on a dimmer in the main 'kitchen' and living parts of the room. In reality we next to never have the main down lights on, even with the dimmer as it feels like an airport runway, although I wouldn't want to be without them for the rare occasions where I am prepping a lot of food in the evenings prior to guests arriving etc. Whilst sitting in the living area watching TV we never have the down lights on and most commonly have the dining pendants on for some dim backlighting. When at the dining table we have the pendants there dimmed and use the LED strips on the shelving which creates a lovely glow in the rest of the room as background light. When cooking the LED strip and pendants on full above the island are plenty sufficient. All of the above was created by our very clever designer! Have you thought about getting someone to do you a professional lighting plan? It's a fraction of the cost of your electrics not to mention light fittings! Low hundreds in terms of costs. The other huge advantage from our perspective was we ended up with a very professional PDF document in 'electrician speak' which we were able to print and hand (or email) to the electricians who came to quote for the job. This meant there was no uncertainly, no communication errors and no room for the price to move once we got underway. It also meant we were comparing completely like for like with the different quotes! On top of that our designer got great trade discounts with fabulous lighting companies and passed her discounts onto us! I've attached our floor and lighting plan so you get a feel for the space and some reference to all my comments above. Hope it helps with a few ideas! Best wishes, Claire...See MorePendant Lights in Kitchen
Comments (8)Hi Opun Team The teal blue will be going over the island/breakfast bar which is 2,7m x 1.6m and the cluster of three will be going over the dining table but not in the way shown in the picture (they will be a different heights and a bit closer together). The kitchen diner end of the room is 6.7m x 3.7m however the whole room is L shaped 8.6m width with bifolds . I will try and attach a plan. Thanks for taking the time to reply....See MoreLighting options for a large open plan space
Comments (10)Please don’t use 6000k that’s super bright white like an office! You want 3000k or even better 2700k. I would suggest thinking about having lights at different heights. Spotlights and LED strips are both ceiling height so make sure you have some lights lower down too. Wall lights and pendants, but also a few lamps on tables. Or plinth lighting (not a fan myself but it does give that low down light). Lights built into any built in shelving. Definitely have undercabinet or undershelf lighting in your kitchen. Lower down lighting sources make things cosier. If you want the lamps to come on with the main lights rather than going around switching each of them on, use a 5 amp socket wired to the lighting circuit....See More- 5 years ago
