We have completely removed the washbasin from the distribution because it gets [Extrabeleuchtung] anyway. We have also made the spots dimmable so that you can still see something while bathing, but everything is cozier. I would consider whether LED is appropriate or if halogen would be a better choice. Best regards in brief

More spots with less power per piece provide a pleasant, homogeneous, and glare-free illumination. In the shower, I installed two because I personally did not like the huge shadow cast by the 360-degree Raindance. Mirror cabinets are also a great "night light" for us; we have already replaced the switches with automatic switches. Finally, for spot lighting, you can also use a combination of dimmer with automatic switch; there are various combinations available, with night light and adjustable switch-on brightness, etc. Personally, I prefer this to wall and niche lighting. We have 10 spots on a similar floor area.

My 0.02 euros on LED vs halogen: An important issue is the heat development of the spots with a possibly existing vapor barrier. LEDs are somewhat less critical in this regard. (Nevertheless, I measured temperatures of around 90 degrees with an infrared thermometer on a 6W LED lamp as well; the lamp was hanging freely in the air on the cable, switched on for 1 hour.)

I'm bringing up the old thread because we are currently facing a similar decision.

Especially regarding the LED ceiling spot in the shower. The electrician has now placed it very deep in the shower (or rather the power cable for it).
We are getting a slightly larger "rain" shower head.
At the moment, this shower head would hang directly under the spot and thus cast a shadow exactly where you stand later. I somehow find that pointless. Or maybe it's not so bad after all if you're not "directly" illuminated there?! What are your experiences with that?

Depends on how the shower is otherwise shaped and lit. If a glass wall is present, then I see no problem. If it is a niche, then it will be dark.

So the power cables are now roughly laid. The shower could still be reasonably reached from the spotlight at the bottom right. But it would probably be better if we simply move the spotlight directly in the shower further out of the shower so that it doesn’t cast useless shadows over the showerhead...

Yes, in this case I would move the spot closer to the shower entrance.
