So peed off with squinting at jobs where customers have LED lighting in their kitchens. Only becomes a gripe this time of year but I seem to be working under the torch more and more often. Thinking of investing in a ww2 searchlight to roll in……or is it me old gigs that’s the problem
Re: LED lighting in kitchens ……
The other thing that annoys me is people who have small led lights all along the plinths in fitted kitchens, a real PITA trying to work with all that wiring all over the floor. 🙁

Re: LED lighting in kitchens ……
I don’t find the LED lighting a problem. My own kitchen is lit by LED down-lights and it’s so bright we only use the under cupboard lights in the evening.
A lot of my work is for letting agents and I find so many tenants don’t replace the bloody light bulbs so you have a kitchen with only one spot light that you can guarantee is pointing in the wrong direction and at the opposite end of the kitchen.
That’s when my ‘Old Gits’ syndrome kicks in.
You then end up with the customer trying to shine a torch over your shoulder which is worse than a customer cleaning the top of a machine while your trying to work on it!Re: LED lighting in kitchens ……
I agree. Its not LED’s that are the problem, its the quality and wattage of them. I’ve just had to replace some in a light fitting in my kitchen, they were too bright. I originally put 5w warm white in and have replaced with 3w. LEDs have come along way in the last 5 years. I live in a new house and the builders now put LEDs in all fitting as standard and they are more than good enough.
The worst to deal with for me is where a customer has fitted the led tape (strip) lights underneath the cupboards, stuck to the plinths. You can’t disconnect them. They look good but are a PITA to deal with.
