Hello everyone,
I will soon be building a house with Bien-Zenker and would like your opinion on potential savings regarding the electrical fittings selection.
The house will be handed over to me "finished to specification," meaning the floor will have screed, and the walls and ceilings will be covered with drywall panels.
I want to use large-scale LED spotlights in the living/dining/kitchen area to ensure it is well lit from the start. A ceiling outlet for a spotlight costs me about €60 without the spotlight itself, meaning just the hole and cable. I find that a bit expensive for a hole and 2m (6.5 ft) of cable.
So my question is: Can I have only the "starter" spotlight installed to have the electrical circuit in place (one each for the kitchen, living, and dining areas) and then drill the openings and install the spots myself from there?
What should I watch out for if I do this?
Thanks a lot!
Chris

@hampshire While we're on the topic: thanks again for the Luxvenum tip (your post from April). We have now installed them in all areas where recessed lights were planned. The spotlights with the ultra-thin light bodies were especially convenient for ceiling installation. Light quality is excellent.
