Anyone help with a lightbulb moment?!
We’re in the middle of a kitchen refit. The 2nd fix for the electrics is tomorrow and I’ve still not ordered lightbulbs for the wall lights. They will be on dimmers and the dimmer switches are both trailing end leading edge compatible.
The wall lights themselves need an LED E27 lightbulb , max 10W. I’m wanting the lights to switch from bright task lighting to ambient warm light when dimmed.
The dimmer switches is a 3 dimmer panel from Dowsing & Reynolds (I know they don’t have a great rep in the sparky community), I wanted to get the Corston ones but my kitchen fitter shamed me for buying light switches at the price point (I wish I’d ignored him but here we are). Anyway D&R say total load has to be between 5-150w which I’m assuming is fine. One pendant, 6 downlights and four wall lights.
It’s an absolute minefield out there in the world of lightbulbs. I keep coming back to Philips MASTER value dimtone lights but I’m not sure whether I need to get 2700k or 3000k.
If anyone wants to offer me some advice I’d be forever grateful!
