This is a bit of a vague question so my apologies for that. Our kitchen has quite a high ceiling with a central pine beam running along its length. Attached to this beam is a 6ft flourescent tube that works well and gives a good working light. However it looks so dated (over 30 yrs !!! ) that I suppose I ought to replace it with ???????

What lighting system will give a good light coverage and illumination in the kitchen. We have a 4 spot halogen fitment in the main bedroom which is fine for there but would be of no use in a kitchen, so what are the alternatives ?

Thanks

Brian

Seems a shame that the majority of contributions are originated by anonymous users - I'd thought that one of the good things about this whole idea was that you'd be able to make a judgement on the validity of content by knowing who'd written it. Do the anonymous contributors not stand by what they've written, or just haven't bothered to set up a username for themselves?

After a brief mind reading exercise, I'd say the latter.

Or better still, a fluorescent.
