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...

Hello Mycraft

That is correct for halogen lamps.
However, this discussion is about LEDs. In this case, those arguments no longer apply.
