nice lightings!:dancingqueen:

energy saving bulbs if you do notice, they takes a while before going into a full glow.

one more advantage of energysaving bulbs is that they generate a LOT less heat.

Thanks for sharing with me. !! Haiz. I realised that the lights does not seems to brighten up the area, especially living area. !! now feeling very upset.

one way is to relocate the 2 lighting pts in the living room and space them out evenly along the length of the living room.

u can ask patrick for suggestions also

Thanks sunboi80. Will ask patrick for suggestions.

I guess I din tot about the dark area when defining the lighting points. The 2 lighting points each has it own use.

Now I am panick about it. I now wondering should I do Lbox with cove lights or down lights. Standing lamps does not seems to really solve the problems also. :dancingqueen:

how about getting those spotlight-like lights that can point wherever kind? those with three bulbs and rotational cover so you can point one or two towards the dark area...
