Hello everyone,
Our precast concrete slabs will be delivered in the next few weeks, and we have the option to install recessed LED downlights in the ceilings.
I have marked the LED downlights in yellow on our plans.
Do you have any suggestions to improve my lighting layout?
Thank you in advance

It has simply become established as a synonym and fixed in people’s minds. Of course, a spot is a spot is a spot.
Every stage technician gets goosebumps whenever someone refers to the common MR16 lamps that way. But that’s just how it is. When people talk about spots, the majority mean exactly those or similar ones with different base types.
Point light fixtures.
No matter the beam angle, installation situation, or light color they have.

Hello
why so many "spots"? The ceilings will be suspended anyway, so why not use indirect lighting?
In my place, I will install a shadow gap around my entire room (kitchen/dining/living) with LED strips (RGBW).
The same will be done in the hallway area; I am still considering the rest. In my opinion, indirect lighting looks more modern.

Point lights. I have no fundamental objection to using "spot" as a synonym for point lights, but I do object to "spot" being incorrectly used as a synonym for recessed downlights, even though that happens alarmingly often.

Recessed lights are not suitable for living rooms, kitchens, etc. There are far better lighting options for these areas.
They are still acceptable in hallways, bathrooms, or staircases. Additionally, recessed lights only add unnecessary costs to the construction or the electrical work.
It would also be interesting to know what type of recessed lights are planned, as this greatly affects the quantity, placement, and positioning. I am currently facing the same question as the original poster. I would be interested to know how you solved this in the living areas, @Mycraft. Do you perhaps have a picture available?

The best person to help you with these questions is @ypg. I’m currently renovating. Kitchen, living room, dining room, and ideally, I would also like to change the lighting situation in the bedroom. You’ve already said everything sensible.
I assume this is about the main lighting, where ceiling spotlights should be planned as a unit, spaced closer together, distance from the wall, etc.
Personally, I don’t like holes in the ceiling. I have them myself in the bathroom and bedroom and would do it differently today. For the rest, there are nice pendant lamps, floor lamps, or modern surface-mounted spotlights or diffuse panel lights.
