Hello,
I am trying to install lighting in a room. A loft room with slants, the area is about 20m^2. I need to light it well for work/study, I just want it to be quite bright, of course keeping some moderation as well. Shining bright light at night is not pleasant, so it would have to be divided somehow. I have chosen a 4xGU10 ceiling lamp and this is where my question comes in. As I am already used to remote control and phone control I am considering choosing a smart device and this is where my question comes in.
Would it be better to use a Sonoff 2 channel switch and divide it into sections of two „bulbs” stronger and weaker, or to install a dimmer for the leds with 1 section (due to the comparable cost). I have not previously had any exposure to dimmers for LEDs running on mains voltage, only PWM on 12V. Other than that I would be interested to hear of any suggestions for brightness.
Alternatively I am also considering using LED tape and profile.
Something like this I have in mind https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/wiki/Dimmer-switch-with-Nuvoton-chip
