Hello forum,
We are currently renovating our old house step by step. As part of this, we are replacing our lamps and lighting fixtures, but instead of buying them from a specialist retailer or electrician, we purchase them online because we want to save energy and money! I’m not very knowledgeable about electrical engineering and would like to ask here how I can calculate or estimate my savings over the course of a year.
Regards, Manni and Ute

It might be a bit late for you since the construction work is already finished, but I would have liked a centrally suspended ceiling with a perimeter light strip above the couch in the living room. That probably would have worked for you as well. Then, you could have installed a hanging lamp or recessed spots in the center above the coffee table.
Yes... if I were skillful (and motivated) with DIY work, something like that could definitely be done – simply build a dropped structure about 15cm (6 inches) deep and then control the indirect lighting with one switch and the built-in spotlights with another... On the other hand, the outlets are already quite far apart from each other...
I have moved many times in my life, and I’ve never stayed longer than three years in one place. For me, finding the right lamp takes forever and is simply frustrating! Online stores mostly deliver junk, and showrooms have everything except what you actually imagine.
As a result, in many apartments when I moved out, many rooms simply still had a socket with an (energy-saving) bulb 😀
The topic of lamps is my absolute nemesis, and I congratulate anyone who has already gone through this process 😀

No, it doesn’t really cause any glare. But it is quite bright.
At the bottom, there is a frosted plastic shield that diffuses and distributes the light.
You can’t replace the LEDs directly, as they are hardwired. You might be able to replace the entire unit? The lamp consists of three parts: the lampshade, the plastic cover, and a metal mounting plate that holds the LEDs.
