New construction lighting spots electrical preparation ceiling points

Lighting planning with Karsten, wife, and master electrician Karl. S.
So, you two, come to my office on Monday. We'll do the electrical plan.
So it happened one day in April this year. There he sits, our construction plan in A3 in front of him. So, you get 46 sockets and 15 two-way switches and an outdoor cable from the general contractor. Right? Yes.
So, he says, I’ve already placed all of them. But maybe 10 more need to be added... I begin to get bored while my wife positions some more sockets and light switches with him. ...Are you done? Yes, they say after a quarter of an hour. And is it good? Yes, he says, that’s good, that’s how it’s always done. Okay.
Spotlights? He asks. For example, five in the roof overhang, you never need an outdoor lamp, sensor-controlled. They turn on in the evening, off in the morning, if you stumble home at three in the morning, the door is always lit. Da da da. He draws five dots in the plan. I’m for it. Wife too. All five 110,- That’s doable, right? Yeah, that’s doable.
And now hallway and bathrooms. He draws more dots. There, there there and there too. We’ll take weaker ones, they don’t have to be that bright. So there are 10 more. She likes that, me too, 200,- all? Agreed!
Now quick, garage and terrace. A cable outside the wall for mood lighting. Garage neon on ceiling and grey box on the wall. And the attic, that gets two more neon lights. And a socket, grey box with cover. Outdoor socket? Yes, on the terrace, for the boombox at parties. So, that’s it... one hour. Detailed planning, Max.
Now still at the store. Which sockets? These or those. It will be or those, Berker. Are prettier than Gira. Then he shows us the agreed spotlights. Totally okay. And a silver doorbell. And a terrace lamp with LED, which changes its light from white over red green to blue and back. Cool thing, 42,- Done.
You really don’t need an architect for this. Karsten

Ever thought about publishing your farming experiences as a book.

Bauen auf norddeutsch as the title.

Da da da

You can do that. And I really find your post quite amusing.

But if you want to present a nice living, dining, and kitchen area accordingly, then I expect more than just spotlights in secondary rooms.

This also includes different lighting moods and the like...

Caspar, my point was to caricature something with the architect. The electrical master, if he really is a master and not just called that, plans more sophisticated things with you than our hallway. You know, you can also spend your money on a lighting technician or on the interior designer Mrs. Carmen von Augenstern, but we are not talking about a state theater here, but single-family house construction. That was my point. Karsten

We planned the approximately 90 spots completely on our own. First on the plan, then always making slight adjustments on site. But before that, I talked to a friendly electrician about reasonable distances to walls and between the individual spots. Timewise, it didn’t go as fast as with Karsten (we certainly spent a total of 15 hours together working over the plan, probably including switches and sockets). Our result is good to very good, and I didn’t want to pay anyone for it!

approx. 90 spots

May I ask how much you paid per spot? (completely from recording to the finished spot)
