Hello everyone,

I am looking for good and bright downlight spots for our bathroom.

1x spot should go into the drywall ceiling in the shower cabin. This should also be as bright as possible. Is IP 65 necessary here?

3 more also into the drywall ceiling. IP44 because of the damp room?

We had considered "Osram 2x 41191 Ivios LED III 5.5 W, 3000K" and 2x "OSRAM LED recessed spotlight 41193 PUNCTOLEDIP65 C WT 2x5.5W". For this, we had this transformer: "ISOLICHT LED universal transformer 0-70W dimmable"

They were connected via a "4-way LED distributor" (small white box with 4 plug options and cables). Unfortunately, the lights are anything but bright.

So we are now looking for LED downlight spots that are warm white, very reasonable, and also affordable. Dimmable would also be great in case the lights become too bright together with our LED wall strip.

I am very confused about how to connect the LEDs. Each spot comes with an LED driver.

But I only have one power line, right?

How do you then connect 4 transformers to one line?

Or which downlight system would you recommend?

I would be very happy if you could help me with the search, as I unfortunately lack the technical knowledge about what to look for when buying.

Thank you very much!

IP65? Are you planning to aim the lamp with massage jets?

Otherwise, I'm also currently looking for the appropriate lamps, so I'm curious about what comes out of this. Although at the moment I'm thinking more about regular recessed spotlights with GU10 sockets.

Basically, 4000K sounds more sensible for the bathroom, I think. But more important is the CRI, which should be at least 90 in the bathroom to make all colors look natural.

Search for the terms "bathroom protection zones". Everything above 2.25m seems not to require any special regulations. We installed IP44 anyway.

The Osram Ivios III 2*5.5 do come with an electronic ballast, right? Did you connect them somehow not through it? They each also have 330 lumens, so it shouldn’t actually seem too dim. But if you connected them differently somehow, that could of course be the reason.

It seems there probably won’t be enough space in the bathroom ceiling for proper GU10 spots, so I am currently also thinking about the Ivios III, as they are very flat. Even though unfortunately they don’t have Ra 90.
