Hello,

how did you approach lighting design and when exactly did you plan/implement it?
I still have the option to install Halox P housings with transformer tunnel (€60) for LED recessed spots. I’m not really convinced by spots (focused light + high costs), but what alternatives are there?

Well, tastes just differ. Much also depends on the situation. Sometimes 2700 by 3500 millimeters (106 by 138 inches) in the same room is appropriate, depending on the current use.

Are you referring to your own situation now, or are you commenting on my suggestion?

Just briefly. I would choose warm white lighting for the bathroom, with cooler white lighting near the mirror. For me, the bathroom is a place to relax, which I couldn't achieve with clinical, office-style lighting.

What surprises me about the absolute statement not to mix color temperatures is that every old-fashioned dimmed incandescent bulb, including halogen, always changes the color temperature along with the brightness...

Isn't that actually a feature to create coziness? [emoji848]

He said the only place he would deviate from the 2700 K is the exterior lighting, and even then only with 3000 K. However, I don’t want a campfire look outside but rather a neutral illumination of the house. In the garage, I simply need bright lighting.

But for checking the oil level, you need a bit less than for repairing clocks.

So, are there light sources with adjustable color temperature? Do you need an additional actuator besides the dimmer to change the color temperature, or how is that technically implemented? I find that very useful for the office and the living and dining areas. For the other rooms, I think choosing a single color temperature is sufficient.

Yes, those exist. They are called tunable white and come as spots and strips. For these, you need the appropriate dimmer actuator (e.g., KNX) and assign two channels instead of one.

Alternatively, you can use a standalone solution like Philips HUE.

We just attended Light & Building and discovered the company Lumitech. Especially in the field of Human Centric Lighting (HCL), they offer a very interesting, but not exactly inexpensive, option.
