If you're wondering how to position your downlights for the bedroom properly, you've come to the right place. One or more downlights can be placed to illuminate a specific point in a room, or multiple downlights can be combined to illuminate an entire room. Careful consideration must be given to how many lights you will need and where to place them to achieve the desired result. To get a rough idea, one downlight for every 1.2 square meters provides a high illumination level. To calculate numbers and spacing more accurately, you need to consider everything from room decor to the intended use.
