ᐅ Brief Recommendation for Recessed Light Housings in Concrete Ceilings

Hello,

I need to decide soon which mounting housings I will require for the recessed ceiling lights. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to look into this in detail yet, and to be honest, electrical work is not my area of expertise.

The ceiling manufacturer has offered me four mounting box options:

- HaloX 100

- HaloX 100 with tunnel

- HaloX 180

- HaloX 180 with tunnel

I plan to have the house wiring done using KNX. For the lights, DALI is often recommended as a secondary system. At the moment, I am not sure which direction I will take.

Which mounting boxes do I need to stay reasonably flexible? Before I ask my electrician, I would like to gather several opinions because you never know if the electrician might simply suggest the easiest solution, which isn’t always the best.

Ceiling spacing is a maximum of 1.30 m (4 ft 3 in), 1.18 m (3 ft 10 in), and 1.00 m (3 ft 3 in). To keep things consistent, I would like to use uniform lights throughout, except for the bathroom. The plan is to use dimmable LED spotlights, and I would like RGB lights in the shower area.

Right now, my main concern is which mounting boxes I will need.

I would really appreciate your help.

Best regards,
Judyyy

Floor plan to follow...

We would like to lower the ceiling in the area marked in red and install lighting there as well.

Use the 100mm (4 inches) ones with tunnel; they are usually sufficient. Installed, they look like this:

Hello, thank you very much for your advice.

And what about the conduit for low-voltage lamps with a transformer or high-voltage with an external LED driver?

Which lamps you use doesn’t really matter in the end... yes, the tunnel is for the transformers, etc.

And which system would you recommend, while we’re on the topic =)

NV or HV?

Do you perhaps also have a lighting recommendation?
