Did you know, 79 LED downlights are equivillent in power usage to 20 Halogen downlights!
We installed all these 79 Downlights in this house, with some on sensors, some on 2 way switches, some inside exhaust fans and suprisingly, none on dimmers (The owners preference)
We set all the Downlights to Cool White, which is in between Warm White and Day Light. We went with this colour as warm white would not make the place look as fresh and new as the cool white, and day light with that much white, makes it look clinical, which is not what these home owners wanted. We installed Tri Colour LED Downlights, which is the standard now days, and theyre called Tri Colour because they can be flicked to warm, cool or day light with a switch and dont require an electrician for. Almost all downlights now days are instaleld with a socket in the ceilings, and the downlight plugs into this, for this reason, no electrician is required to change these lights, as theyre treated the same as replacing a kettle, they just plug in.
We had the walk in pantry, which was huge, on 2 downlights, run through a sensor that would pick you up as soon as you entered the pantry, then turn on the lights, and then turn them off after a time frame that we adjusted on the sensor. We set this to 1 minute, as the timer would continually restart while you were in the pantry, and start counting the 1 minute once you've left.
We also ran the downlights out the front door and garage, to turn on when a car drives on the the driveway, or a person walks up to the door. This was also done for the top of the property, where they would wrap around the side of the house to ensure no one came near the front of the property withut it lighting up, while also providing light for entertainment.
Another great benefit to having these on a timer, is that no one ever forgets to turn them off! and they aren't attracting bugs for the whole times they're on, because they flick off when they aren't required.
