I plan to purchase and install LED spotlights myself in my prefabricated house. The lighting outlets will be prepared by the house manufacturer. Can anyone recommend LED spotlights with a good price-performance ratio and possibly a suitable online store? Preferably both dimmable and non-dimmable options. Are there general guidelines on how many LED spotlights should be planned for a certain living area?

Sebastian7928 Apr 2015 16:04Strange, I have 4-watt GU10 spotlights from Philips distributed throughout the apartment – at least subjectively, they are bright. They cost me about 12 euros each around 2 years ago and are even dimmable.
They are supposed to replace 35 or 40-watt halogen spotlights (I don’t remember exactly)...

That’s nonsense. Honestly. You can do it, but you’ll pay for it.
At least a 60° beam angle, preferably 80° or more... it really starts to get bright from around 9 W, better 12 or 15 W.Hi Tox,
That would definitely produce a lot of light...
I have a rough guideline in mind that 1 W LED roughly equals about 10 W of an incandescent bulb—please correct me if I’m wrong...
So in our kitchen, we would have 10 x 8 W LED = 80 W LED = 800 W incandescent equivalent.
With 15 W LED, it would be 10 x 15 W LED = 150 W LED = 1,500 W incandescent equivalent.
Personally, I already find it almost too bright in our kitchen...

Dirk

toxicmolotof28 Apr 2015 17:17I don’t know any standard reference values, but when I consider all the different factors…
A 15W LED listed on the packaging might actually use around 12W in reality, plus the installation height (250-260cm (98-102 inches)), the fact that LEDs still don’t produce light quite like incandescent bulbs, and so on…
Supposedly, my 15W LEDs should be equivalent to about 115W, but when I compare them to my halogen work lights, which equate to around 78W, I would say the work light is about as bright. However, because of its position (210cm (83 inches)) in the room and its 330° beam angle, it still feels like it gives off significantly more light than an LED spotlight, even with a wide angle…
Lighting is very much a matter of perception.
In our future kitchen, we installed six 15W LEDs, and I hope that will be sufficient.

BauexperteI can only agree with that. For us, 7x5 watts are enough for a daylight-bright kitchen 8-)T
toxicmolotof28 Apr 2015 22:50At least the tiler can work properly then.
And keep in mind... I’m talking about Hongkongwatt
