I would also plan some cables for wall lamps for indirect lighting.

Spots remind me of the 90s, when halogen was new and still up to date.

Also determine which lights should be dimmable (with DALI control this often requires 5-core cables).

Don't forget plenty of power for outside (extra secured), as well as separate house number lighting next to access lighting.

The worst thing is that I am an electrical engineer and had all that in my studies.... but when do you actually apply lighting design....

We will consider the classic ceiling outlets. In everyday life, we usually have indirect light turned on, except when vacuuming, etc.

That means we will work with floor and also wall lamps.

In the attachment, we have marked the points (red) for the ceiling outlets.
Do you have any comments on that?

We also find surface-mounted LED spotlights/downlights quite charming.

What is your opinion on this?

Are you serious, that's way too little, one outlet per room? five in the bathroom, five in the hallway downstairs, four in the kitchen, etc.

Depends, she wants a lot of indirect lighting anyway, which is anything but illogical (in my opinion), so that can certainly fit. In the planning you can only see the direct lighting.



Thanks for the info, then at least we probably won’t go wrong with the beam angle.

Do you still remember how many lumens you installed per room per square meter or how many lumens the spots have? Are 200 lumens / sqm enough for a hallway, for example, or would that be too "dark"?



Tastes differ so much, I find nicely symmetrically placed spots quite timeless.

Dimmability and outside power are good points to consider early on.

The ceiling outlets refer to classic lights.
When using downlights, of course, more would need to be chosen.

How much did you have to pay per additional ceiling outlet?
