Hello,
what color temperature (in Kelvin) do your LEDs have in your home? Have you chosen a brighter light color for the kitchen and bathroom? I have read that you should use at least 4000K in the kitchen. Has anyone done this? What about exterior lighting—do you also prefer around 4000K there?

Best regards,
Sabine

We keep a small table lamp on in the bathroom at night so that everyone can find the bathroom and no one accidentally falls down the stairs. I thought this was important when the children were little, but even now it’s nice because no one has to turn on the main light.

Best regards

Adjustable (via DALI/KNX) 🙂 This way we can choose the color temperature we need..

This is called "Tunable White." You typically need something like DALI for control.

In commercial construction, it will soon become the standard.

We solved this partly with a combination of an automatic switch and a dimmer. At night, the brightness when turned on is very low, which is perfect if you need to get up early, for example. When you want full brightness, you just use the switch as usual.

PS: For me, steak only goes in a grill pan or, of course, on the grill. Sometimes I cook spare ribs in the oven, and naturally the Christmas goose. I haven’t really found a meat dish that tastes great in the steam oven yet. Steak, venison loin, and wild boar fillet are my absolute favorites, and I prefer them medium-rare.
