Dear cecil,
My hall way is in the center of house and due to lack of light in the area. I wanted to hang the lamp with 5 lights in the center. Will it have any negative affect.( Flying star in the center are good). Thanks.

Dear Anon,
1. Some Feng Shui practitioners `swear' by the use of lighting with Five bulbs. To them, they believe that it can neutralize Sha Qi at a location.
In my opinion, here, the practitioners are usually, more of the Shapes and Form School practitioners.
2. While another school of thought usually those are more `mathematical' and uses more of the Flying Star, because of their `inclination' to look at No. 5 (misfortune).
I believe these practitioners have a `deeper' association of no. 5 with misfortune and in my opinion, may tend to `avoid' the use of anything 5.
3. In my opinion, having seen lots of cases of problems relating to the centrepoint, I feel that :
3.1. If possible, natural lighting into the house / centrepoint is the best.
At night, it is still best not to over `kill' or over do anything.
If you can make do with one light why do we want to find trouble for ourselves by adding more light bulbs.
3.2. Frankly, I have seen or done lots of cases of analysis relating to the centrepoint and, I would recommend keeping it clear.
3.3. At the moment, water is by far the most `problematic' at the centrepoint.
3.4. For `fire', my country or region has never had anyhouse having a fire place so, in terms of applied Feng Shui, I have minimal experience here.
So far, as some of users have apply theory, I also have this question in mind:
The earth element is suppose to be at the centrepoint. There may or may not be a link but under the productive cycle, Fire increases earth.
The above is an interesting thought. This is unlike a user who recently mentioned North (Water) and it is her death sector. Here, unlike this statement, we can see that there can be a link between `fire' and the `earth' as both are denominated to the Five elements and an analysis can be done.
What is `worse' about the Earth element is that unlike all other elements that comes in at a season and diminishes and returns only after all the seasons had passed, Earth element remains strong in-between each of the season.
So, earth element can generally be said to remain strong all year round. Furthermore, earth element does have bad stars like Star 5 (misfortune).
Thus one way of looking at it is perhaps, it would account for so much of our problems for many people.
After reading all these, it is really up to you to decide whether you still want to hang 5 lights at the centre. One consolation is that since you are not going to turn it on all the time, it is considered `not activated'.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
