Hello,
I am currently working on the electrical planning for our new build. I have (somewhat as an amateur) created a layout of the sockets and switches including lighting and blinds/roller shutters. It is sometimes a bit uneven or misaligned, and the orientation of individual symbols is not always 100% accurate for display purposes. However, the number of each type of outlet, switch, ceiling spot, etc. has been precisely marked.
I am hoping to get feedback on the exact positioning as well as the quantity of the individual components. What is missing, and where might there be too many?
For better clarity, I have divided the floor plans into sockets/connections and switches for lighting/blinds/roller shutters.
In the basement, all roller shutters will be belt-operated, on the ground floor they will be Venetian blinds, and on the top floor electric roller shutters. If a blind switch is shown, it controls all the blinds in the respective room. The red numbers indicate the numbering of the light outlets.
I look forward to your opinions.

Thanks in advance for the initial feedback; the tip about the lighting in the kitchen was already very helpful.
The blinds will each operate individually, with probably an additional switch in the living room to control all the blinds at once.
I still don’t fully understand the LAN setup. So far, I have always managed with Wi-Fi, but a wired connection is of course the more reliable method. Whether there is a single or double socket installed doesn’t really matter.
Almost all the windows are floor-to-ceiling, so Christmas lights are a lower priority for now.
What is the general opinion on the number of power outlets and ceiling spotlights? I have already been advised that there might be too many spotlights.

Reason: I assume that we will not be watching satellite TV for eternity. In my opinion, IPTV will eventually replace it. And today, Wi-Fi alone is no longer sufficient for IPTV, neither for current SD streams nor for HD streams.

I don’t understand. Who wants to get rid of satellite TV? Maybe you have to pay something sometimes, yes, but other than that? The technology is still state of the art, only the telecom companies don’t like it.
And what’s the deal with IPTV and Wi-Fi? IPTV is basically TV over the internet. So what? Our Philips device handles that over Wi-Fi without any problems. YouTube, Netflix, on-demand libraries, whatever you want. In HD. Carsten

The “old landline network” worked for decades, now it’s being phased out, and soon people will only be making calls over IP.
Satellite TV might face the same fate eventually.
Your YouTube, Netflix, media libraries, maxdome, etc., are all not live TV. There is time to buffer, and I’m not informed about the picture quality.
Proper IPTV services (Telekom, 1und1, Vodafone) don’t usually work smoothly over Wi-Fi alone. They typically require an additional bridge device (an external device connected to the IPTV receiver and possibly the router). These bridges usually need line of sight and their range isn’t comparable to regular Wi-Fi.

What is the general recommendation regarding the number of power outlets and ceiling spotlights? I have already been told that there are far too many spotlights.For me, that would also be too many spotlights, and I don’t like ceiling spotlights above the sofa either. In our kitchen, we have 8 spotlights (each 365 lumens), and that is really very bright—you can see even the smallest crumbs. Above the sofa, that would be far too bright for my taste. In the bathroom, we have one spotlight above the shower, and that is bright enough for me; I wouldn’t want it any brighter. When you go to the bathroom at night, you don’t want to enter a fully lit room, so ideally the lighting should be controllable separately. We have planned a wall light in the bathroom for this reason, so it’s not too bright at night.
Best regards,
Sabine
