Our construction will start in 1 to 2 weeks, and we need to finalize the placement of the recessed ceiling lights in the prefabricated ceiling.

Currently, we have planned them as follows (see image):

Hallway: 6 units
Living room: 9 units
Kitchen: 8 units

Different lighting concepts will be used in the other rooms.

Is this number sufficient with this layout, or should the spacing be reduced?

Then I will have to accept it.
That was already the first mistake I made during the new construction.

No handy DIY friend in your circle? They can handle the boxes.
Or ask your electrician, they can do it too.

Yes, but if the concrete is poured during the week, time is tight.

Alright, let’s get started—it won’t take that long. Head to Hornbach, buy some HT pipes, and get going.
Time is always tight, but nothing is impossible.
The only thing that can hold you back is a negative attitude.

Look at it this way: it’s likely that the spotlights won’t fit, but what’s uncertain is whether you can manage it. So what do you have to lose besides maybe 15€ (around $16) in material costs?

A hole in the ceiling that is unusable
I will ask the guys on the construction site. And for something like this, I need to clarify it with our architect or at least inform them.

An 8mm (0.3 inch) hole can be filled with filler or covered with wallpaper.
