    That is some nice lighting.
    I've got some spotlight things on a strip in my ceiling, they look a lot better than the conventional lampshade, but not as good as those <insert namefor the ones that are inset into the ceiling here>

    And I've got a dimmer switch

    nice lighting m8

    Although personally I might have opted for dimmers

    I am checking out a bunch of LED replacement bulbs at the moment. As in little devices that fit into existing lighting circuits but are LEDs and not filliment (spelling) based.

    These:
    http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Ind...Led/index.html

    and

    http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Ind...ver/index.html

    I have already checked the bottom one out. It is comprised of 11 surface mounted LEDs. Its fantastic and gives out almost no heat with a fairly bright light. Unfortunatley it runs off of 24v, so to put it in an existing circuit requires either a transformer or 10 of the LED bulbs fitted in parrelle :s
