I have a bedroom 3.5m x 4.5m and wanting to put 5xdownlights in it.

Looking at 6500k bulks (modern white light), what wattage should I be looking at? 5x4w? or 5x5w?

Thanks

Well I have fire rated 240v fittings and just in case hoods to keep the insulation off them, I image over kill for LED heat, but we had a house fire once and we prefer to be safe.

We plan a very modern decor with a white and black gloss colour scheme. We don't want it offset with yellow lights.

I was more interested in what watt bulbs to get, as we don't need to mega bright.

Guess I'll just have to see for myself. Cheers for your time.
 
Yeah I understand your concerns but I reckon I have to see it for myself. It is not such a big investment:

15º tilting fire rated fittings are costing us £4 each, additional covers £5, LED Bulbs £10 each (with 60º spread). So with some 1mm T+E it's coming to around £100. the Tilt, positioning and size of the room means none will be aimed directly at the bed.

We also have bedside halogen wall lights that are dimmable for when in bed etc.

The only pain will be to fill the holes if we don't like it, the fittings can be re-used downstairs.
 
Thanks for the info, already went for GU10 LED NxtGen Series II Non-Dimmable from SimplyLED (Day), if they don't suit then I will check the other links.
