Modern ceiling lights - a no-go not to have them
Nothing works without them. Modern ceiling lights are the absolute minimum equipment for every living room. If you have installed them, you have provided sufficient basic lighting. And can cross the room carefree - if there is sufficient light - without tripping over Junior's toy car. Basic lighting is also sufficient for hoovering, putting on clothes or showering. For special visual tasks such as applying make-up, reading and chopping vegetables, additional area lighting comes into play. However, lighting design usually starts with the right basic brightness using a ceiling lamp.
How are modern ceiling lights installed?
This varies depending on the model. But don't worry: with every modern ceiling light you also receive practical installation instructions with drawing, from which you can take all the measurements. If you follow these instructions step by step, you will have no problems with the installation. If in doubt, it always makes sense to consult your trusted electrician. And if you have any questions, please feel free to contact our technical advisory service at any time. You will find the contact details below.
Do modern ceiling lamps work with LEDs?
LED is modern. Consequently, modern ceiling lights work with LEDs. If this were not the case, they would not deserve their description. LED is not only the luminant of the present and the future because it is easy on the wallet and the environment. This also opens up a wide range of design options for designers. This is because LED is extremely compact and saves space. Thanks to modern LED technology, particularly intricate designs can be realised with ease.
Can modern ceiling lights also be dimmed?
If you like cosiness, you have to be able to dim, of course. The good news is that the vast majority of modern ceiling lights can also be dimmed. This popular feature is therefore already available with many luminaires. If you want to be completely sure, you should tick the "dimmable yes " box in the shop to see all models with the practical dimmer function at a glance.
Are there modern ceiling lights with motion detectors?
How practical would you find that? The light switches on when you enter the room. Sensors, i.e. motion detectors make it possible. This not only offers you special comfort, but also more safety. Because there's no need to fumble for the light switch or suddenly stumble over your slippers in the dark. You can find out whether your desired model has a motion detector in the product details.
For which rooms are modern ceiling lights suitable?
The questions should be: For which rooms are they not suitable? Modern ceiling lights are never out of place anywhere in the home. Whether living room, children's room, bedroom or hallway. You will always need a certain basic brightness. For the bathroom and kitchen, however, there is something to consider. Here, the luminaires should be equipped with an appropriate protection class due to increased humidity. Because water and electricity don't get on well together.
The following therefore applies: It is best to consult an electrician when equipping your damp rooms with lights. This is particularly important for the bathroom, as the DIN standard VDE 0100 Part 701, which divides the room into three protected areas, must be observed. Our technical advisors will be happy to provide you with information on protection types and protection areas using the contact details below.
What characterises the modern style?
Modern ceiling lights have one thing in common: they are extremely straightforward in their appearance and fit very well into a minimalist furnishing style. If you prefer a clear design language, you are sure to find your dream lamp in the world of modern ceiling lamps.
