ᐅ Basement Lighting Design for Prefabricated Concrete Slab Ceiling

Thank you for your opinion. The main focus now is on the costs, which I need to investigate in more detail.

Thanks for your opinion. So it mainly comes down to the costs, which I need to investigate more thoroughly.

From what I’ve read here, the discussion is more about whether such an effort is worthwhile in a basement.

Apart from the fact that I find the floor plan quite questionable and would approach it differently,

in the hallway, you could probably reduce it by half. To be sure, you would need to calculate how many lumens the spotlights produce and then decide how bright you want it. There are plenty of lists and calculators available online for this.

In the rooms, I would base it on their use. Especially in a storage room with high shelves, spotlights might be less intrusive than LED tubes or similar fixtures. Here, I would design it so that the lighting is placed where no shelf is directly underneath, which would otherwise block the light.

I don’t understand the forum’s “aversion” to spotlights (which can also be easily combined with other types of lighting).

I actually don’t understand the hallway as it is. It’s too narrow for a wall of cabinets or shelves.
Why is there a corner missing from the room at the bottom left?
If the doors of the rooms were positioned differently, you would hardly need the hallway at all.

Don’t let yourself be confused. I installed the spotlights evenly throughout my entire house and would definitely do it this way again. And as long as you don’t pay ridiculous prices for your recessed boxes, it’s not an issue cost-wise either.

Uhm... in case you meant me, I do not want to mislead anyone or discourage their dream. However, this is my well-founded opinion, and after all, this is what the exchange of opinions here is about.
