Hello everyone,
We currently have the drywall installer on site for our house construction and need to plan the arrangement of recessed ceiling lights.
Originally, we planned for six recessed lights in our bathroom on the top floor (4.50 m x 3.20 m; approx. 10 sq m (108 sq ft)). You can find the layout from the sample planning attached. The top floor has a knee wall height of 50 cm (20 inches) and a 45-degree slope.
At the time of planning, we didn’t realize that two of the six lights were positioned on the sloped ceiling.
My question is: is this problematic, and would it be better to place all six lights on the flat ceiling instead?
Or is it better for even light distribution to install some of the lights on the slope? Ceiling height is about 2.50 m (8 ft 2 in) above the finished floor.
I am concerned that it might cause some glare and not look visually appealing.
What do you think?
Best regards and thanks for your opinions!

Peanuts7420 Jan 2016 08:52Does the bathroom really have only 10m² (108 sq ft) based on the floor dimensions? Our floor area is slightly larger (4.90 x 3.35 meters (16.1 x 11.0 feet)), but we installed 8 dimmable 5-watt LED spotlights, and I think fewer would not be enough. Anyway, we placed 2 of them about 15cm (6 inches) away from the sloped ceiling, which in my opinion looks good and provides nice, even lighting. However, our knee wall is about 110cm (43 inches) above the finished floor, 50cm (20 inches) is obviously quite low, and that results in a lot of sloped ceiling area...
Hello, fortunately, the spotlights are adjustable. Now the question is whether to mount them on the ceiling and angle them toward the sloped roof, or to install them on the sloped roof and direct the light downward.
The floor area is obviously larger, but due to the limited knee wall height and partition walls, the usable area is just under 10 square meters (according to the plan).

Peanuts7420 Jan 2016 12:08Is the dashed line above the bathtub the 2m (6 ft 7 in) line? Because it definitely doesn't look like a 50cm (20 in) knee wall there... If so, there would probably be enough ceiling space to install the spotlights, which is what I would do...
Yes, that is the 2-meter (6 feet 7 inches) line. Knee wall 50cm (20 inches) actually ends up being 70cm (28 inches), and there is almost 30cm (12 inches) of walling around the bathtub. So, I am also leaning more towards installing the spotlights on the ceiling.
Unfortunately, I can’t find any pictures online to see how it would look...
