    A rather expensive light that Mrs Pip isn`t to pleased with, doesn`t give out enough light apparently.

    Excellent job Pip!

    Did you DIY it? If so give yourself a pat on the back.

    How long did it take?

    Do we really need that much light in a bathroom.. I ask myself?:hehe:
    One candle at bath time does it for me.. Nice selection of tiling by the way, looks a treat.

    Very smart and I like the light. I would think that with 4 bulbs it would be light enough :scratch:

    Thanks all.

    Would love to say it was all my own work but I can`t, don`t touch plumbing or gas best left to the professionals. Tiling and small electric jobs no problem.

    The main work took about a week (never used the en-suite so much) but we have only just had the floor laid and there are still shower rails/curtains and fittings to go up this week. In all about 5 weeks from start to absolute finish.

    As regards the light Kedi, the bulbs are only 20 watts each and Mrs Pip thinks that 100 watts plus would be much better.

    I know what you mean about lighting Pip, in our bathroom we have an illuminated mirror to give extra light so my OH can see better for doing make up etc, if it was just me I'd make do with a candle to shave with - must be a ladies thing :hehe:
