Aim for an even light, with no shadow cast on the walls, and a rendering clear enough to read. An adjustable spot lets you direct the light towards the floor rather than the face.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How to get even LED ceiling lighting?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Evenness comes from distribution, not quantity: align the points at a constant distance from the wall and from each other, along the axis of the room. The same colour temperature for all points avoids yellow and white patches on the ceiling, and spots angled in the same direction.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Toilet lighting: where to place the light point?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The light point goes at the centre of the room, slightly in front of the pan rather than above it, to avoid casting the body's shadow on the floor. In long toilets, two points aligned along the axis light more evenly than a single point placed at the far end.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Toilet lighting: which light to choose?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"To light a toilet, a fairly neutral, well-diffused light makes whites readable and avoids a cave effect, while a light that is too yellow in a room without a window turns orange. Read the colour temperature on the spec sheet and keep the same value for the whole room.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can a recessed lighting kit be installed in a bathroom?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, provided humidity is taken into account: choose a model whose protection rating matches the zone, higher near the shower or the bath. This rating appears on the product sheet. Installation also requires checking the space available above the ceiling.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Recessed kit with a socket or integrated LED: which to choose?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A kit with a GU10 or E27 socket lets you change the bulb and later alter the power or colour of the light, without replacing the fixture. An integrated LED imposes the original result but leaves less choice. Both are installed the same way in a ceiling.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can a recessed spot be installed in a suspended ceiling or a concrete ceiling?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"In a suspended ceiling, the space above is generally enough to house the unit, which simplifies installation and access to the wiring. In a solid slab, you need a reserved void or a shallow model, as well as a hole drilled to the diameter given on the product sheet.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do you need a transformer for a recessed lighting kit?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It depends on the model. Spots with integrated LED work with a supplied or built-in driver, while models with a GU10 or E27 socket connect to the mains and simply take the chosen bulb. The product sheet states the required power supply in every case.\"}}]}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/8598\/2228\/collections\/designix-entete-kits-d-eclairage-encastrables-v1.jpg?v=1791301608","url":"https:\/\/designix-lighting.com\/collections\/recessed-lighting-kits.oembed","provider":"Designix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
