A centre light is generally not adequate on its own in a bedroom and most people have bedside light fitments. The traditional, shaded light, however, can cast shadow and spread a diffuse light over the whole room/ Although the effect may be attractive, many people enjoy reading in bed and it can be infuriating if your partner is reading when you want to sleep and the light disturbs you. This can be prevented by fitting low voltage spot lights at each side of the bed. the light will be bright enough for reading, can be angled in a suitable direction, and will leave the rest of the room in deep shadow. If you have an alcove bedroom, a soft hidden light behind a bed alcove will add a glamorous touch to the bedroom.
Mirrors, particularly make-up mirrors, cabinets and tables, always need to be lit clearly. Lights positioned at either side of the glass will fall directly on the user and avoid too much glare. Or a strip light along the top is an adequate alternative.
