Hello everyone,
We would like to install lighting in our shampoo niche by the bathtub. The electricians have already run a cable into the niche for this purpose. The problem now is that after installing the drywall and plastering, my drill with the hole saw no longer fits into the niche. It is about 1cm (0.4 inches) too small.
Do you have any suggestions on how to cut a hole for a recessed spotlight in this situation? Are there especially slim hole saws available? So far, I haven’t been able to find any.
I have also considered using a surface-mounted spotlight. Unfortunately, the cable coming out of the niche is quite tight (it seems to bend sharply behind the wall). I don’t see how I could push the installation cable plus the lamp cable with a connector block through the small opening.
If running cables is completely impossible, battery-operated spotlights would be the last resort. Maybe even compatible with HUE. I still have a smart button available for this.
I am open and grateful for any tips on how to light the niche.
