You've sold me. My father always favoured that, but never managed to implement it. I'll keep the wall lamps I've designed, for ambience, but omit ceiling lights in favour of higher wall-mounted angled uplights for light off the ceiling. Oooooh ... may be able to design the uplights into the top of the one wall lamp design ... where's that bit of paper?
