Hey,

Currently, three recessed spotlights are planned. However, I’m not sure if three are too few, meaning it might be too dark.

As shown in the pictures, these will be installed. Are the performance specifications sufficient?

And in the bathroom, simply arranged in a row, also three units.

Thanks for your feedback!

You can also plan your spotlights with DIALux evo. It is a free lighting design software.

They are the same. In the hallway, the light appears warmer only due to the reflection from the books and the parquet flooring. Each has 800 lm, 3000 K, and a lens diameter of 60 mm (2.4 inches).

Lighting should be planned individually for each room. The rule,

The optimal position for spotlights is not in the center of the room, but on the side.

was not applied in your hallway either. There, the style of the lamp might take precedence, placed centrally in alignment. The highlights in front of your furniture are practical.

I would place a modern spotlight at the intersection of the two axes in the hallway. Surface-mounted. Centered. With two fixtures. For example, like the ones @NatureSys has in their hallway. You can still add a floor lamp near a power outlet under the sloped ceiling.

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it only supports Windows...

Oh, I’m kind of stuck on the recessed lights right now... as a change from the current 4-bulb round/spiral fixture.

In the bathroom, around 1000 lumens per spotlight should be fine, right? Should they be warm white, cool white, or neutral white?

By the way, which spotlights would you recommend for the eaves?

The 3000K lighting in our bathroom works perfectly for us.
