Hello,
how did you approach lighting design and when exactly did you plan/implement it?
I still have the option to install Halox P housings with transformer tunnel (€60) for LED recessed spots. I’m not really convinced by spots (focused light + high costs), but what alternatives are there?

I once asked the lighting designer whether it makes sense to install spotlights directly above the bed and the bathtub. He said it’s not a problem; there is no glare. How does that work?
He mainly plans with Wever and Ducre "Deep" spots, which have beam angles of 25° and 40°.
In front of the stairs on the ground floor, he designed Deltalight Mini Diros for accent lighting. Wall lights are Deltalight Vision.
Although he dismissed my concerns about the spotlights, I can’t shake the feeling—is it really that good? I thought the expert would know; I should trust his advice.
In the dressing room, children’s room, and office, he planned Verbatim Round fixtures. It’s hard to imagine, as I’ve only seen them in the catalog.
In the meantime, another lighting designer, who happened to be at the electrician’s, took a look and was practically horrified. He showed me a 4.5W fixture and said you have three of those close together in the upstairs bathroom—only there they even have 6W. He asked, “Who plans something like this?” I raised this with the lighting designer, but he said this is how it has to be and that we should trust him.

I really have no idea about this. But why you would need to brightly illuminate the window front in the living room or supply the upstairs toilet (A43) with three spotlights, someone would have to explain that to me first.
A spotlight above the bathtub would also make me skeptical.

...And why would you place a row above the bed at the headboard? That would cast a shadow on yourself while reading!
I find the whole thing really, really awful. I would rather see the purpose of such a sequence in the walk-in closet.
Is this supposed to look good near the toilets, or is it meant to provide more light?
