Pendant light to recessed spotlight

Sep 20, 2006 3 Replies

My bedroom has a single pendant light fitting and I'd like to change it to a recessed spot. Is this likely to be easy to do?



I've unscrewed the fitting and there seems to be lots of wires coming through a small hole. I think there are 4 red and 2 black and then two which look like earths going to the fitting casing.



If I was being adventurous I'd like to replace it with 3 spots, all turned on by the same light switch. Would I wire them in parallel somehow.



As you can tell I am a complete novice at this

Why? With a single recessed spot in the centre of the room, you'll end up with a dark room except for a bright pool of light below the spot. Or are you a trekkie perchance, and this is intentional? :-)

because I have side lighting in the room and a low ceiling - I want to replace the hanging light.

Can anyone help with the practical rather than sartorial aspect of the change?
