Hello,
I’m quite uncertain about the best way to plan the spotlights. It’s mainly about how many to use and where to place them. We are flexible regarding the light output (lumens) and beam angle of the bulbs, and they can always be changed later... I have planned and positioned 4 spotlights so far, but it doesn’t look good to me...
How would you plan this?

Being able to see well in a mirror would also be important to me, and having quite dim lighting at the toilet area so that you don’t get woken up by bright ceiling lights at night, but can still see well enough. For this, we installed heavily dimmed recessed lights at calf height on the right and left sides of the toilet within the pre-wall construction.
