I'm now close to finishing our kitchen - I have moved our washing machine so we have a continuous U-shaped plinth/kickboard.
I want to install some fancy lighting (the type that fires down towards to floor). I'm not overlay keen on the lighting where you can see the bulbs.
We have a nice white glossy tiled floor which should reflect the lighting nicely (don't want it too bright though, I'm not looking for a Blackpool theme here)
I've attached a crude drawing of our kitchen. Since I have moved the washing machine out of the way we have a perfect power point which is also conveniently switched above the worktops.
Does anyone know if systems are available where the LED 'hub' is like a USB hub in that you can have multiple light strips connected so I can go left with 3.3 meters of light strip and right with 1.4 meters of light strip.
Then comes the question of which brand? I quite like the idea of full range colors but it MUST be dimmable as I am looking for ambient lighting not some mad trip every time I enter my kitchen.
Would quite fancy a motion sensor too so it comes on when someone enters the kitchen - but this would have to work wireless as I am not ripping any plaster off to hide wires etc.
