Can ceiling spotlights be installed in a filigree ceiling - drilling?

@andiman

You can also just have the boxes installed; you can then connect the installation pipe yourself, just like laying the cable inside...


For every task, there is the right tool. I drilled the necessary boxes from below afterwards, and there was sometimes reinforcement in between.

Nevertheless, I wrote earlier that the best way is to have the boxes installed at the factory.

However, I would also not recommend the effort you made because you then create monster holes in the precast ceiling, which is not necessarily advantageous for the statics and also affects the appearance from below.

Hi,

I had the boxes installed in the concrete plant into the filigree ceiling. HaloX pots were used. It didn't cost me anything extra, so in the whole house I only have two 'normal' lamps and otherwise 66 recessed spotlights (below in the concrete ceiling, above in the drywall).

I can recommend dimmable 230 V LEDs. We actually always use the dimming function.

That I really call delusion of grandeur.

By the way, I don’t believe it didn’t cost anything extra – maybe not itemized separately, but definitely charged. The boxes cost a few euros plus installation.

I can only agree with that...

NOW that's what I call madness of spending .

I admit that we have it nice and bright.

Not separately listed. If so, it got lost in other items or was paid from the start.

Yes, the ceilings were probably just more expensive then and the GÜ simply didn't charge amount X for it but Y without further details.
