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?

But one thing you need even less than a lighting plan is a lamp shopping list at the price of a lighting plan

What someone needs or doesn’t need is always their own decision!

What’s definitely not needed, however, are weak comments like this one and know-it-alls in general, who think they know better or even want to define who needs what and where someone finds value...

I really wonder what the intention behind posts like this is? It’s fine if someone doesn’t need a lighting plan for themselves. But why add insult to injury and make the original poster feel bad by rubbing in that they only got “an expensive shopping list”? How grumpy can someone be about that?

Above all, I would be interested to know what the alternative is for a layperson. Who fills out the DWG files for the architect with the lighting specifications? A part-time Ikea salesperson? Do they handle the measurements as well? And who coordinates with the electrician to clarify questions like DALI yes or no?

If someone as a layperson can do all that; respect! I can’t, and I’m not ashamed of it.

May I ask about the children's room lamp—who is the manufacturer, or is there a specific name for this model?

Thanks in advance

I can help:
Foscarini
Model: Bahia Parete

about 450 EUR, polycarbonate
(shown above in #23)

Regarding the planning:
I wouldn’t recommend lighting the stair treads individually from underneath the nosing, especially not with white risers, as the grazing light would likely highlight every imperfection. Better to use simple recessed wall spots in the wall.

Overall, I would also include some wall lights for attractive accent lighting.

An interesting lamp for the coffee table or even the dining table.
