The spots I have now, only produce heat below them, the lightbulb itself has some protection that the heat doesn't go up, this was not the case with the other ones. And probably the transformer had some kind of overheat detection built in, so when it got hot, it just switched off, which of course is a good thing. But with all that wool above the ceiling, I would have had to build some construction, so that the transformer would have had some space.
Projection screen is hanging now, strange I didn't get a good picture of it, I took 10, but all of them are blurry.
The ceiling is also now finished, only have to put the wooden strips around tomorrow.
There it's hanging

Plug is again attached to the ceiling, so you don't have cables hanging down to the floor

Attachement was quite difficult, because I had to fix it to the joists. But the screen only has 2 hooks to hang, so I couldn't fix it directly to the ceiling. So we made some kind of construction, with hooks, and it was also easy not to get it into the right angle/level.
Funny thing is, that the metal bar it is attached to, is an older bar for curtains I had in my appartement. My father still had it lying on the roof, so that was the best solution. And the bar was very expensive, as it's one from Liang Li, some designer.
Here's a bad picture of the screen down, screen is 108"

Tomorrow we will also finally put the beamer, and Friday afternoon a guy comes to calibrate it.
