Integrated are good value at the moment and can solve some fitting issues. There far more complicated systems becoming more popular (Dali etc.) for controlling extra low voltage lighting in domestic properties which will likely become the norm.
If you buy integrated and one fails in 6 or 7 years, will you be able to get the same model? A lot of installers are buying an extra fitting and leaving it on site for this kind of thing.
Most important thing you should be considering is the CRI value (colour rendition index). In terms of night time dimming, you will learn to operate whatever type of dimmer you have to suit your needs. I like Lutron but visitors and the cleaner have never been able to figure them out.

The Orluna air fixed are really nice, beautiful diffused light and sharp finish.
At a cheaper option, the lucide gypsy is a nice light, not as sharp as the Orluna but much cheaper

We had something generic installed with the kitchen, no idea what, don't really care, it just works.
We had IKEA smart ones in our old house bathroom. They were good for dimming and fancy smarts. I had them setup for a single dimmed downlight with a motion sensor, will probably do this again when we do the bathroom in this place.

ceiling mounted downlights. what’s the consensus regarding LED fixtures that have the lamp built in as opposed to using gu10 bulbs?
And has anyone used the nordlux moodmaker lights? like the idea of having a very dim outer ring light to leave on for nighttime pee visits but wonder if you end up flicking the switch in frustration as it’s never at the setting you want and would be better off with just a conventional dimmer
