Things to Avoid Doing!
500w halogen lights, unless you have a football field to light up
Dimmed PIR lights - a gross waste of energy and money
Bare fluorescent lights with random tube - see Fluorescent Lighting
Halogen downlighting - see Halogen Lighting for why
Lights high up out of reach over stairs - a perfect recipe for serious injury
Halogen uplighters - a recipe for house fires. Often excessively power hungry too.
Plaster half-bowl uplighters - the only uplighter that manages to have none of the usual advantages of uplighting, and makes walls look terrible to boot.
