Haha yeah!? If it was a prob i would break open it from above and insulate it. Ive thought about doing that just to keep the colder climate in the basement, in the basement. The floors above can be cold at times. Thank you! I have so much to share, ive been building here for 5 years now, would be fun to make a video maybe. Really appreciate you guys commenting. Thanks again!

I found many spotlights that were rated for bathrooms but needed alot of space, LEDs. Ive renod many bathrooms as a worker aswell and some needs cups. Thats why i didnt want to build them into this ceiling. But i think you are right, there prob are some that can handle wooden chips laying on them. Sounds scary tho

House built in 1944, that ceiling is the original one. Always been a shower here, and theres no dmg at all. Above this ceiling is woodchips (?) Insulation and then the same floor as ceiling above. But i reno'd all the floors on the upper floor becaus we had a daughter, so that she could crawl around without getting splinters x)

Ah okey i understand. It will surely need cleaning on the far wall sometime, but we havent had any problems with that yet. About the water on the floor, I think you can see a little angled stripe on the floor outside the shower? That is for that purpose, it makes water that comes outside the drain to flow there. Sorry for my wierd english, i type as i think it in my language haha! We did talk about installing a door aswell, but not in 90° from the showerwall, but 180° towards the fan and window.

Yeah i had that idea! But the jungle of LEDs and transformators (?) and all made me not do it. I just did it simple. Btw, this light has 3 different lights, like dimmered yellow, strong yellow, strong white. With the highest white its really bright, and the lowest it gets cozy. So i have somewhat of what you mean. But i agree what youre saying.

Yeah i know, the problem is that this is a basement, and the height is about 2 meters now. I didnt want to cut into the ceiling to install spotlights due to that the insulation there is wood chips (?) Or what you call it. And i didnt want to lower the ceiling either. I didnt put several on the walls becaus of safety either. But i know what you mean!
