Hello everyone,
we need some help planning the recessed downlights for our ground floor.
We’re not quite sure how many are necessary and how they should be arranged to achieve "proper" lighting conditions—not too bright, not too dark. The entire ground floor is to be fitted with recessed downlights, no pendant lights or similar fixtures, so no additional lamps.
We can only install the Halox housings into the ceiling; we have to purchase the bulbs and other components ourselves. So far, we don’t have any suggestions on this. Any tips would be much appreciated.

Do recessed LED panels offer significantly better aesthetics compared to ultra-thin standard LED panels? For recessed panels, you need expensive HaloX mounting boxes in the ceiling (at least 60 € per piece) plus the LED panels themselves, which also protrude by a few millimeters. Surface-mounted options are only up to 20mm (1 inch) thick with almost the same appearance, but overall much cheaper. Or am I missing an advantage of the recessed version?Why are these recessed mounting boxes, which are cast into concrete, so extremely expensive? It’s just a plastic housing for the recessed spotlights and the LED driver. Over 50 euros per box?
And regarding the LED panels: these are those flat rectangular LED “boards.” But aren’t they typically installed more often in office buildings than in residential homes?
I believe the small ones (180 mm (7 inches)) cost around 20 EUR when purchased, but they still need to be installed and wired – and additionally, the flush-mounted box has to be fitted at the end of the interior finishing. That costs money, although 50 EUR per box does not seem like much to me.
