Hello everyone,

My house construction planning is almost complete, and now some important "details" remain. It’s about the ceiling spotlights and the staircase lighting. Our builder needs to know soon what kind of ceiling spotlights we want to install (diameter of the opening) so that he can order the concrete ceiling including the recess accordingly.

When I look online, there are countless options, with prices varying significantly. Do you have any recommendations? The ceiling and wall lighting should, of course, visually match each other.

Thank you in advance

That would be kind of inconvenient, we need more wall cabinets ^^

Regarding the kitchen, I see the problem that when working, shadows are cast onto the countertop, especially around the sink. We will install a track lighting system above the sink, positioned 60cm (24 inches) away from the wall, and attach a few suitable spotlights to it.

I tested it with a flashlight. A distance of 60cm (24 inches) from the wall above the work surface is too much.

I’m currently quite unsure whether I shouldn’t just cancel all the ceiling spots instead, hmm

If not 60cm (24 inches), what distance would be suitable?

Ceiling spotlights are not suitable as task lighting in the kitchen.
