Spot planning - But how? Problems in some rooms

There was a time before the spots, and there will be a time after the spots. Fortunately, the latter has already arrived for some ;)
For example, put a nice ceiling lamp in the bedroom (no, nothing cheesy) or a modern double spotlight in the middle. The same applies to the hallway.

This full covering can indeed be overdone.

The problem is that we simply don't like any ceiling lamp and if we do, it costs more than an entire floor with spots.... Therefore, we want to realize as much as possible with spots.

The distances feel somewhat too large.
Illumination depends on the beam angle.
At 40°, you are at about 1.70 m distance.
How bright it is also depends on the spot used.

I like spots as general lighting even if it’s not so en vogue anymore. Also in other rooms. Plus accent lighting.

On the ground floor, I find the transition poor. Better to continue the row and plan further from there.

That’s not going to work. If you want good lighting, first consider which type you need and want where. Then align the positioning, beam characteristics, amount of light, intensity, temperature, and color rendering index accordingly. Since you equate recessed ceiling lights with spotlights, I infer limited prior knowledge. Have a professional explain the principles to you with examples and experience the parameters. Then you will more likely ask the right questions.

I want to be able to create a certain basic brightness everywhere that is also dimmable. Atmospheric light will then be created by floor and wall lamps. To be honest, light has never been an important factor for me; as I said, I just want to create a certain basic brightness in the rooms.

Are you building with a general contractor or is the electrical work being done through individual contracts? It would certainly help if you looked at various spots. Personally, I like light temperature 3000k. One more note: cheap LED spots are often not dimmable and have poor color rendering. Since you care less about light design, I would take a look at Voltus. They have a good price/performance ratio. I have seen these live already. Here you can get by with just under 100€ per spot (depending on the housing and power supply). There is no upper limit when it comes to lighting....

Are you building with GU or is the electrical work being subcontracted?

It is subcontracted.

One more tip: cheap LED spots are often not dimmable and have poor color rendering.

Well, in the hallway/basement I would definitely want to use cheaper spots (since I don’t necessarily need to dim there).

These have a good price/performance ratio. I have seen them in person already. Here you are looking at just under 100€ per spot (depending on the housing and power supply).

I’ve seen those too and they might be interesting for the living room and so on.

But that doesn’t solve the placement problem, since we need to order the ceilings soon :(
