Re: Replacing a kitchen light fitting
You could always go for this kind of thing...https://www.amazon.co.uk/Elfeland-Sp...519160&sr=8-27
Put some GU10 LED spotlights (around 5W should do) and you can direct any light into the corners of your kitchen or highlight a particular area.

Any suggestions welcome with pics if you can .
I do detest LED bulbs !
We have very bright fittings in our living room/kitchen. My dear wife likes that for her painting. And they are LEDs so I don't know why you have a problem with that. They are 15W daylight, 6500K.
This is what we have but you may opt to have just a ceiling rose with no pendant.

Re: Replacing a kitchen light fitting
Yes indeed . I wonder what the most powerful bulb you can put in it is ?Immy lounge I have light fitting that looks like a spaceship set flush to the ceiling ,very pretty but the light it gives off is a yellowy one .Horrid ! Consequently I never use it.

I don't know why you don't like LED's Zuleika....If it's light you want in your kitchen you need to put at least 1000 lumens in your fitting, the largest I use are around 1350 lumens, and they will give you a sun tan....
They don't get hot (well, not all that hot) and only use about 20 watts.

If you look at the pics posted it’s looking like one of those track fittings with spotlights on are the way to go .
Lots of people don’t like LED btw . 😉
