Hello, yesterday I spent hours planning downlights in various rooms (kitchen, living room, bathrooms).
Late in the evening, I simulated a downlight in my apartment by removing 2 of 3 GU10 LED bulbs and positioning the remaining one facing straight down.
I found the result surprisingly poor. Of course, it was only one downlight, but even if you repeat them every 1.2–1.5m (4–5 feet), the lighting is completely different. Only the tiles on the floor are illuminated. When standing underneath, you look ghostly. The reflections on the ceiling and especially on the walls are completely missing—these are what make the room feel comfortably lit.
Now I’m thinking of almost completely removing the downlights (kitchen: 9–10, living room: 5–6, bathroom: 9–10, hallway: 4). Only the countertop/sink area would get 2 downlights, and the shower (enclosure) 1.
Have you decided on ceiling downlights? If so, are you happy with them?
A nice side effect: I save a lot of money.

What are your experiences with Aldi LED bulbs?About 4-5 years ago, I equipped my entire apartment with around 15 G10 LED bulbs from Aldi. These LED bulbs survived the move to the house and are still working in the basement and storage room. Very good light output and brightness.
