We are currently in the process of planning our prefabricated house.
Does anyone have experience with whether these prefab house manufacturers (Schwörerhaus, Weberhaus, Keitel-Haus) also offer ceilings with LED spotlights? What additional cost should I expect for this?
Thank you.

I know the prices of light bulbs and their applications... You are really kind, but I would like to have the prices mentioned by @Doc.Schnaggls explained to me. The best person to do that is probably himself, unless you have had similar experiences.
As mentioned before, our electrician, from what I remember, received 65 including from us. I will possibly check again today, best to do it now.

For recessed ceiling lights, Weberhaus wanted 67 euros from us, but that did not include the light fixture itself. For the wall lights by the other staircase, we simply ordered pre-wired empty boxes, which cost about 20 euros each. Of course, depending on what you install in them, the prices can also reach those mentioned by @Doc.Schnaggls.
Installing fixtures in a wooden ceiling is quite different from doing so in a concrete ceiling.
Here, fire-rated junction boxes are installed in the ceiling, which tend to be more expensive, and on upper floors, the ceiling may need to be suspended to maintain clearance from the vapor barrier. While heat generation is no longer as much of an issue with LEDs compared to halogen lamps, many lighting manufacturers still rely on their old certifications, meaning the costly fire-rated boxes must still be used. That explains the higher price quoted by the specialist...
Simply planning light outlets and retrofitting them yourself is usually more economical and will likely work (furniture lights are quite suitable). Typically, the lamp is enclosed in non-combustible materials anyway, and in the worst case, you can lower the vapor barrier.
BUT in the event of an insurance claim, you will be asked for the certification!

And I explained why it costs so much there...
The construction company doesn’t have to consider that, which makes it cheaper. Well-known manufacturers offer an approved cover for every spot light, and those do have a cost. Universal boxes are also available at a lower price but can be legally problematic if inspected.
Depending on the type of lamp, prices between 130 and 200 are not unusual...
