ᐅ Suspended ceiling installation for LED lighting

Hello everyone,

I’m new here.

The house construction will soon begin. I have a specific question regarding this.
In the upper floor, the ceiling will be covered with plasterboard panels (12.5mm) (0.5 inches). Below that, a counter batten (24x48mm) (1x2 inches) and the vapor barrier will be installed. The collar beams will be insulated between the rafters. This leaves a free space of about 36.5mm (1.4 inches), in which I would like to install LED downlights.

Now I have the following questions:

1. If I install 230V LED downlights with a recessed depth of 26mm (1 inch), is this feasible?
2. Or do I generally have too little space for LED downlights?
3. What alternatives are available?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

We will then increase the battens to 30mm (1.2 inches). That way, everything will fit perfectly!
