best light?

builder22 · 22 Sep 2013 at 18:50

this may be the worst thread i've made

but what light would be good for the following....

TV and PC in the room, also used for reading/ writing at thte pc desk
light is in the middle of the room on the ceiling

have one of those 3 spotlight ones just now, apart from the bulbs blowing it's ok for when using the pc as my back is turned to it but when watching the tv the light shining from it catches my eye, if i turn them all to face the TV then it becomes useless for reading

Fit LED lamps to the 3 spot fitting & replace switch with a 'Trailing Edge' dimmer.

I would say 4w or 5w is all you need, see this thread about led lamps.

Perfectly ok.

went for these http://www.ledhut.co.uk/spot-lights...umens-45-watts-equiv-best-internet-price.html

bit dubious as to why they're so cheap but seem to be really good specs and good reviews,
