Hello everyone!
During our house planning, we thought about skipping the installation of extra halogen sockets (which would have been quite expensive with our provider) and instead using surface-mounted spotlights.
However, I have now realized that with LED spots, there are models available that should fit into 60mm (2.4 inches) flush-mounted boxes.
Has anyone done this or found suitable ones? Basically, I am looking for white, adjustable spotlights with 2700K.
Thanks and best regards!

No, it isn’t. But okay.Okay. In my apartment, they have 60mm (2.4 inches). I will measure again on site. Larger would be even less problematic; I wonder who still installs Halox boxes. All right. I’m not looking for a red car but a small red electric vehicle.

I wonder who still installs Halox boxes.Almost everyone. Especially in cast concrete ceilings. The material itself hardly costs anything (under 10€ per box). In the factory, it’s a bit more expensive, but there you’re not really paying for the box itself, but for the labor involved. That’s why I’m asking who installed the 60mm (2.4 inch) ones, why, and how. They end up costing about the same, but are less flexible.
Oh, and red small cars are as common as sand on the beach. They all get you from A to B.
That was probably due to our general contractor. We were told it would cost more than €100 net per recessed spotlight, and we said no thanks. To be honest, we didn’t consider just having the junction boxes installed; however, it certainly wasn’t mentioned that it would be around €10 each. But that’s beside the point. We just preferred surface-mounted spots over the overpriced options.

Hello everyone!
When planning our house, we initially decided to skip installing special halogen sockets (which would have been quite expensive with our supplier) and instead use surface-mounted spotlights.
Now, however, I’ve realized that, with LED spots nowadays, there are some that should fit into 60mm (2.4 inches) flush-mounted junction boxes.
Has anyone done this or found suitable ones? I’m basically looking for white, adjustable spotlights with 2700K color temperature.
Thanks and best regards! Did you find a spotlight that fits? I’d be interested to know which one.
Best regards, GD
Hi! No, currently none that meet my "specifications." Matte white, pivotable, dimmable. At some point, I got tired of searching further. Right now, I’m mentally back to the recessed spotlights I’ve already tested. But nothing is decided yet. Feel free to get back to me if you find something.
