    As in the descriptions: more expensive, cast aluminum with the possibility of twisting, directing the light source and cheaper sheet metal stamping. The decision is yours.

    And what is the IP of these "fixtures"?
    And what should it be like?

    In both cases, IP 20

    IP 44 I don't know if I need it, because it won't be raining

    For me, the luminaire in a soffit and the luminaire in a suspended ceiling in the bathroom are practically the same.
    In contrast, IP 20 is suitable, but inside, and not everywhere.

    It doesn't rain on sockets in wet rooms.

    And here the soffit, such a lamp, contacts without protection a little moisture, weaker contact and after some time if you have a little luck it will only stop shining.

    Ok,
    and what do you suggest, which frame?

    3.1.18. Do not send links that will become inactive after some time. This will cause the discussion to lose any meaning.

    I used bathroom fittings with IP 65 for this purpose.
    You can buy them for twenty zlotys.
    Maybe these IP 65 are exaggerated, but I do not care, just like what will happen over the soffit. I am not interested in getting water / moisture there and whether the contacts of the holder will fall asleep and the guide connecting the holder with the installation will get corroded with corrosion.
    There are also typical fittings for this purpose with IP 44.

    Triumph of form over content. You can shoot a sparrow with a cannon, but for what?

    This is my case what I will mount.
    And why I chose this solution I explained.
    The author of the thread can do and apply whatever he wants.
    So I do not understand what this fashion note is about, because it is my form and my content, and I did not ask for its assessment.

    I did not go to your home to check, and since you brag about it in public, I have the right to express my opinion, which I did.

    So I understand IP 20 falls off and look for a minimum of IP 44?

    You bid on who has a higher IP and from what I see all luminaires bought for alle have increased tightness from the outside. In the soffit, the tightness of the entire fixture is important, because water and insects will appear from the other side. This is how it should look at IP23 https://www.jula.pl/catalog/elektryka-i-oslig...tlenie-wewnetrzne/reflektorki-wpuszczane-i-ak accessories/lampa-punktowaniled-002058/?f.category. code = C-020000 & sort.by = novelty & sort.order desc = & skip = 0 & take = 25 & _ # = 1514956614367 tab02

    And so the bathroom fixture with IP 65.
    link
    Please compare prices. It turns out that the cannon is cheaper than a slingshot :)

    Thanks to everyone for the answers

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around selecting the appropriate LED luminaire for wooden soffits, focusing on the differences in price and specifications. Users compare two options, highlighting that the more expensive model features cast aluminum with adjustable light direction, while the cheaper option is made from stamped sheet metal. The importance of ingress protection (IP) ratings is emphasized, with suggestions that IP 20 is suitable for indoor use, but IP 44 or higher may be preferable to prevent moisture issues. Some participants recommend using fixtures with IP 65 for added protection against water and insects. The conversation also touches on the aesthetic versus functional aspects of lighting choices.
