  • Hi folks - I need to do a huge amount of work on a new house including electrics and lighting.

    Specifically on lighting, has anyone gone spotlights in every room and are there any negative aspects?

    Wife is unsure as she likes the feature of a nice lighting option but I just see them as dust collectors.

    Just wondering if there are any issues I am missing.

  • Not whole house but the place I bought has a lot of spots.

    First thing is you're very limited if you want to change them, you've a load of holes in your ceiling and a limited number of options of what to put in them, it's not like changing a lampshade. This goes double if you go LED spots because you can't even switch the bulbs.

    Definitely go for dimmers, the light is just glaring otherwise. Bear in mind that if they're LEDs you need dimmable LEDs and drivers, two different components. Also not all dimmer switches play nicely with all lights.

    Also have a think about whether you may want any smart home integrations. You're a bit more limited with spots on what you can do.
