A simple rule of thumb
Divide the ceiling height by two to get the spacing between downlights, and keep fittings roughly the same distance from the walls.
Choosing the right fittings
Warm white LEDs suit living rooms and bedrooms; cooler tones work well in kitchens and bathrooms. Dimmable fittings add flexibility.
If you notice burning smells, smoke, sparking, heat, exposed wiring or repeated unexplained tripping, stop using the affected circuit and contact a qualified electrical professional. Don't remove electrical covers or attempt electrical repairs yourself.
