Bad - Arrangement of the spots - Your opinion?

Where I am unsure:

[*]Is there enough light in the shower (1 spot) and is it well positioned (we will not have a rain shower, but a handheld shower). [*]Does the spot above the toilet glare? (I like to read) [*]Is it too bright/glare in the tub (even though dimmable). [*]Does it make sense to have two switching groups (top/bottom)? [*]It should actually be bright enough, right? 6 sqm with 4 spots, even if they are not fixed yet. [*]Fewer spots, less money. Are 3 spots (in a row) enough in your opinion?

Regarding 1: That is a question of the beam angle and the even illumination of the fixture you use. What is often called a "spot" can also have a flood-like character. Then it works well. Regarding 2: That depends on the choice of the bulb - a larger beam angle results in lower light intensity (lux) at the same luminous flux (lumens), a milky diffuser can also help. Then nothing will glare. Regarding 3: That is a matter of preference. Regarding 4: You can do that, it does no harm. Regarding 5: Brightness depends on the luminous flux and not on the number of light sources. Regarding 6: Don’t save on the fixtures. They are more important than the installation location. You can do well with 3 or 4 suitable recessed lights, but also totally fail with 3 or 4 unsuitable recessed lights. The discussion about the installation location is pointless if you don’t know the desired fixture. If there is no specific desired fixture, you can find suitable fixtures for many installation locations.

I wouldn't choose spotlights either. Not because they are outdated, but because you can't change them. If you don't like them anymore in a few years, you'll still have to live with them. We have a panel with different color temperatures in the middle of the room (shower is with glass wall) and 3 small lights on the mirror cabinet. For the panel, we picked what we liked best. And if we don't like it anymore in a few years, we'll simply put on another one.

I also removed the spots during the bathroom renovation and installed only an 80 cm round LED lamp, which is adjustable in color temperature (warm to cool white) and dimmable. Spots are impractical and expensive.

If you don't like it in a few years, you still have to live with it.

I keep reading that, but when it comes to furnishing it is outside my experience. When it comes to clothing, I do let myself be guided by fashion sometimes, that can happen.

I keep reading that, but when it comes to furnishings, it’s outside my sphere of experience. With clothing, I do sometimes follow fashion, that can happen.

That has nothing to do with fashion, my furnishings certainly don't correspond to the current fashion. But especially with lamps, which can be changed quickly and easily and don’t cost a fortune, we do sometimes switch them out when I see something great or feel like a change.

Thank you for the tips and suggestions.
