Lighting planning ceiling LED spots

It has simply established itself as a synonym and stuck in people’s minds. Of course, a spot is a spot is a spot.

Every stage technician gets goosebumps as soon as someone calls the usual MR16 bulbs like that. But that’s just how it is. When people talk about spots, the majority of them mean exactly those or similar ones with different socket types.

Point lights.

No matter what beam angle, installation situation, or light color they have.

Hello

why so many "spots" the ceilings will be suspended anyway, why not indirect lighting.

In my case, I will install a "shadow gap" all around my room (kitchen/dining/living)
and equip it with LED strips (RGBW).

The same will be done in the hallway area, I will still think about the rest.
In my opinion, indirect lighting looks more modern.

I basically have nothing against spot as a synonym for point lights, but I do have something against spot as a wrong synonym for recessed downlights, even though it is used that way with alarming frequency.

That's how it is!

Spots are out of place in living rooms, kitchens, etc. There are far better light sources for that. In hallways, bathrooms, or staircases, it's still okay. Furthermore, the spots only unnecessarily increase the cost of construction or the electrical trade. It would also be interesting to know what kind of spots are planned. Because that has a big influence on the quantity, distribution, and position.

I am currently facing the same question as the thread starter. I would be interested to know how you solved this in the living rooms . Do you possibly have a picture at hand?

The best person to help you with these questions is . I am currently remodeling. Kitchen, living room, dining room, and I would also like to change the lighting situation in the bedroom.

You have already said everything sensible. I guess this is about the main lighting, and here the ceiling spots should be seen as a unit, closer together, distance to the wall, etc. Personally, I don't like the holes in the ceiling. I have them myself in the bathroom and bedroom, and I would do it differently today. For the rest, there are nice pendant lamps, floor lamps, or modern surface-mounted spotlights or diffuse panel lights.
