Spot light install fail

Put anything here that's badly designed/made, failed, catastrophically exploded or just an epic fail in a general sort of way.

Over 1500w lol, if they are using 50w lamps. I don't think a standard 6 amp lighting circuit would like that very much!
Talk about over illumination... imagine the heat load to the room above!?

They are not even properly in line either! Deffo a DIY job this, not even a builder would do something like that surely lol

I hate it when spotlight are used to try and light an entire room. Okay for a small bathroom but that kitchen would have been better off with a couple of 5ft fittings or couple of spotlight fittings on tracks. Those Halogen spot lights like to leave black soot all around them too because they get boiling hot and have quite bad light spread anyway.

This needs a random mix of LED lamps just to finish the look

Nope. 50W Halo's dimmed to 3/4 is what this install is for
