Hi,=20
Looking for some alternative lighting solutions for a loft conversion.
- Loft conversion with large dormer with a flat roof. - Flat roof is insulated with celotex [equivalent] between the joists and = another 50mm fixed below the joists (so 150mm or so of celotext in total).
For lighting my initial instinct was to go with downlighters (spotlights) t= o make best use of the limited ceiling height, but having looked into it I'= d much prefer to not to have large holes cut into the insulation (because o= f resulting poorer insulation, compromised moisture barrier, possible contr= avention of regs, etc.).
What lighting alternatives are available? I'm thinking maybe some kind of l= ow profile light fittings around the edges of the ceilings, I figure if the= light is cast across the ceiling then it will reflect off and illuminate t= he whole room reasonably well. I want to avoid having protruding light fitt= ings (even low profile) in the centre of the ceilings as there is already l= imited headroom and therefore I think they would just be annoying.
Thoughts? (Links to actual fitting welcome!)
