I am currently planning the recessed downlights on the ground floor. I learned that I need to use a mounting housing to avoid interference with the insulation. Now I have noticed that, for example, Bromberg indicates that the recessed light must not be installed in a mounting box.
I want to install recessed spotlights of this type with GU10 bulbs in 5 and 8 watts, depending on the lighting requirements.
I need your help with this. Which recessed light fixtures are approved for use with the mounting housing?
It is important to me that the fixtures can be replaced, or that I can purchase recessed spots without bulbs to allow for variation.
Are there more affordable mounting housings than those from Kaiser, and which ones would you recommend?
Thank you for your feedback.

Some details are simply missing:
- What is the ceiling construction? Timber joist ceiling or reinforced concrete? I rather assume the former if you are starting with the insulation?
- What type of mounting box are you installing? After all, you want to know which light fixture you can use with it, right?
