Hello everyone,

Are there any homeowners here who have used the lighting consultation service of a lighting designer via the internet? You need to send the building plans by email or contact form, and it apparently costs around 200 EUR for 1-3 rooms up to 100 m² (1,076 sq ft).

Is it worth it?

If yes, where did you have a good experience?

Or did you do the lighting design for your house yourselves? If so, in which rooms did you choose to install spotlights and why?

Let us know your thoughts on the topic of lighting (consultation).

Thanks and best regards

I looked at the URail rail and some individual components in the hardware store. Everything looked good at first. I then planned and purchased extensive components for a larger rail lighting system for our new kitchen. However, during a test assembly before installation, I was surprised and very disappointed by the poor quality of the parts when put together. There were significant color variations between components, imprecise fitting, and misalignments that definitely don’t look like quality, only noticeable during assembly. Also, wherever there is a connector or branching part, the "technical" elements such as screws, springs, etc., are visible with a gap of more than 3 cm (1.2 inches) on each side. This cannot be covered by the cover strip. I didn’t want to install this poor visual quality and returned all the Paulmann parts. By the way, Paulmann does not refund the price for shortened URail rails. My conclusion: If you are looking for good visual quality, you should not choose Paulmann URail.

And what alternative did you find?

I installed a three-phase track system from Eutrac. The quality is very good, and all lamps compatible with a three-phase system will work with it.
