Cheers! As ever...
My bathroom is the size of a shoebox (a grotty one at that) so would not need many... something like these?

Just put some of those in a guest bedroom. You will need a varilight pro dimmer with them (you can always just change the module if you already have a dimmer switch, they're better quality than the Click type but they are a bit taller, just check the measurements (156mm for the IP65 which is tall).
I suppose I should add following my recommending warm white lamps that I'm not a fan of the 4000k led lamps but you might like a blueish white light.

For the bathroom you can fit IP44 as long as they are not above the bath/shower, belt and braces you fit IP65 everywhere in the bathroom. I would look for 4 or 5 watt, warm or very warm white (3000k or 2700k), GU10 (mains powered), Fire rated and get something roughly the same diameter as your existing holes if you have them, a few mm larger is usually fine. Also check the space above the ceiling for height of downlighter.
downlights.co.uk supplied 40 lights for me recently and they seem good value. For brands I rate Click, Phillips & Aurora in that order. Phillips have the best quality fittings and bulbs but Click have an easy connection disconnection system that make an electricians happy.
Fire Rated LED Downlight Click FlameGuard from their site in IP65, 5w, extra warm is £20 per unit, they are a low profile so fit in most ceilings. The paint on them is not as luxury as the phillips but they are cheaper and you don't notice it once it's fitted.
