These prefabricated boxes, e.g. Kaiser HaloX, have a slightly larger diameter than the spots actually need, so that after installing the ceilings the electricians always have a bit of room to align the spots in a row.

Many thanks for the picture. Which exact model is that from Kaiser? There are also ones with a "side panel" for a transformer. You don’t actually need that anymore, do you?

Another question: Why isn’t one of the walls built all the way up?

Presumably not load-bearing. To prevent the wall from becoming load-bearing by accident, either it is built completely after the ceiling has been poured or the last row is left out and added later.

wow.. crazy… 8 spots in what seems to be a relatively small area. I have 3 in the bathroom in a row and already find that very bright with the 3. The main contractor electrician wanted 5 arranged like the 5 on a dice. Luckily I didn’t do that. It would have been like a floodlight.

These are the Kaiser Halox 1282-74 with a diameter of 180mm. In the hallway, we have slightly fewer but 250mm with correspondingly larger (and stronger) LED spots. In the bathroom in the photo, there are a total of 10 spots, 2 of which are just not visible. The walls were not built up high because that is the shower/WC partition. This allows the water vapor to escape better from the shower corner and the corner does not remain constantly damp.

*Edit: The spots are divided into 4 circuits, which corresponds to our idea of room usage and is only partially transferable to all.

I almost overlooked the question about the transformer. It depends on the lights being used. I'm not an expert and consulted an electrician. No transformers were installed in our case, so there is only the outlet without an additional conduit. We also intentionally installed a few more spots in the bathroom so that we can possibly retrofit ceiling speakers later on. We did the same thing on the ground floor. It is nearly impossible to retrofit the spots, and the costs during the shell construction were really minimal.

Edit* They are also dimmable.
