  • We had a lighting consultation for our new kitchen because ponce. It wasn't too dear and the stuff on layout/ lighting planes is definitely useful. They recommend some units but you don't have to take their stuff and they will advise on potential alternatives. Alright then.

    They have spec'd some integrated LED downlights, but at £55.00 a unit I assumed they'd misplaced the decimal point! Now, one can obviously find very similar-looking units with the same values for much less, bar one thing: beam angle. The ones they've spec'd are very narrow: about 20°. I've looked, and I can find some with 25° angles, but only 6w, not the 9w spec'd.

    tl;dr: anyone know where to source narrow beam LED downlights for cheap?

  • Are you sure you really need a tight beam angle? I actually dislike spotlights and have large glass pearl dome shades in my kitchen to help diffuse the light.

  • Tight beam angle for the task lighting with a number of wall washes and under and over cab lighting, all dimmable. But yeah, may end up with something a little less focussed than 20.
