Hello everyone,
We are currently planning the arrangement of our recessed lights—mainly in the shower area of our bathroom.
At the moment, our contract includes 4 recessed lights at our request, but this number can of course be increased or decreased anytime (1 recessed light for concrete ceiling = €70.00).
I have attached our bathroom on the upper floor.
Shower: the full depth to the "toilet wall" is 2.10 m (7 feet), with a width of 1.00 m (3 feet 3 inches). The wall towards the door will be built up three-quarters high, meaning the shower is not fully enclosed and may still get some light since the wall does not reach the ceiling. The toilet wall is half height and has glass above it, so light also comes in here. How many recessed lights would you install in the shower, and how would you arrange them? Are 4 recessed lights really necessary here?
I have also attached our kitchen on the ground floor.
We are planning to add 2 recessed lights above the breakfast bar, plus a normal ceiling light centered in the kitchen. Does this make sense or not? The kitchen is quite long, so we assume that 2 recessed lights above the bar area would improve the lighting.
We are also considering typical recessed lighting along the stairs—see the example image attached.
What do you think about that? Is the main contractor allowed to charge the €70.00 per recessed light here as well, or is it somehow cheaper to install wall-mounted lights? Does this make sense at all, or does anyone have experience with it? Or is it ultimately just a visual highlight that ends up costing a lot?
Otherwise, we are not planning any other recessed lights in the house.
We would appreciate brief feedback on our thoughts 🙂

For me, an extra 50 EUR for a standard Schuko socket to a Schuko socket with USB. I'd rather just get it somewhere myself...May I ask a "simple" question: Is it possible to just swap a regular socket for a USB socket without having to consider anything in the basic wiring beforehand?

I have installed several myself.
A standard outlet costs about 3–5 euros and one with USB about 50 euros.
At least for the Jung AS500 series.
@exto1791 I can’t imagine a USB outlet costing only 10 euros.

What is the difference between a presence detector and a motion sensor?Presence detectors truly detect the presence of people, as many models are sensitive enough to register slight movements such as breathing and shoulder motions.Motion sensors, on the other hand, require larger and more pronounced movements to be triggered.

@exto1791 I can’t imagine a USB outlet costing only 10 euros.About 14 months ago, I bought some for 17 euros each at the "biggest home improvement store." Since these outlets have two USB ports and aren’t immediately visible, they did not need to match the existing series exactly.Similar topics
