Number of recessed spotlights in the upper floor hallway

I also find the lighting of the hallway anything but "top-notch," the shadow in the middle is really quite bad.

Bad? He’s not trying to sell a product.

Counter question, do you find the hallway well-lit?, or as a positive example that helps the OP here? Isn’t that exactly what was criticized in the first 4-5 pages of the post here.

On the one hand, it's about brightness and optics, on the other hand, in my opinion, you don't need homogeneous lighting in a single-family house (even if others think otherwise here). With lighting, you design a room or provide light at the spot where you need it. In the mentioned example from , I see a long room/hallway that is cleverly divided by light. Whether intentional or not, I think it's the latter; it's a good thing, isn't it? I would never advise anyone to illuminate a room boringly and homogeneously if it’s not necessary. The OP’s hallway is neither a workspace nor a living area. However, it is a traffic route that needs fixed, relatively bright lighting. But it is not large, so I still think a double spotlight (call it a spot if you like, because everyone goes for the mainstream, even if it’s just the name) is enough here. And it absolutely doesn’t matter whether the room between the doors is illuminated or the light gets darker at the ends.

But there is also a third light missing in the middle.
And yes, the offset heaters, argh.

You could see it that way.
I didn't want the third light, the recessed lights can also be adjusted so that no dark area occurs. I found it somewhat accentuated much nicer – especially when sitting on the adjacent outdoor terrace.
The offset heaters are suboptimal and due to the ceiling construction. The beam spacing there is tight because the whole thing carries a green roof. Planning error on our part. But we don't find it bad enough to have to correct it – for that, one would have to take the lights out of the middle, which is not ideal either. I am not touching the beam's statics.

And what price do they charge for it?

Depending on the version between 90 and 125 plus VAT / piece.

What helps the OP is that the picture shows that the light distribution of the spotlights is absolutely free of artifacts or rings – to illuminate another aspect.
Incidentally, the things are adjustable, then it looks quite similar (just quickly turned it). Also, the panes on the left reflect.
