Light for the cellar
Cellar lamps for living room cellar, laundry room and storeroomGood lighting is essential to optimise the use of the cellar: as storage, workshop or additional living space. The right basement lighting ensures safety and comfort and enables a wide range of activities to be carried out.
**Lighting in the cellar: what you need to consider ** Most cellars are only fitted with narrow windows. Often no natural daylight even penetrates the interior. This makes good basement lighting particularly important. With bright and varied lighting, even the smallest cellar becomes a highly usable space.

Basement lights for every application
There are various types of lights that are suitable for the cellar. The correct positioning of the luminaires is crucial for effective basement lighting. Careful planning and professional installation ensure a safe and long-lasting lighting solution. The right lighting not only makes the cellar safer, but also more versatile. A pleasant and functional environment can be created with the right luminaires, their optimum positioning and well thought-out lighting design.

Brightness and light colour should be adapted to the use of the room. The general lighting should be at least 100-150 lm/m². The following applies to the light colour: warm white (2,700-3,300 K) for basements, universal or daylight white (from 3,300 K) for utility rooms.

Energy efficiency is also an important topic in the cellar. LED lights offer many advantages, including low energy consumption and a long service life. If you want to make immediate savings, convert conventional light sources such as halogen or fluorescent lamps to LEDs in the basement.

In damp cellars, e.g. those used as laundry rooms or for drying laundry, luminaires with a correspondingly high IP protection rating from IP44 should be used. These lights are specially designed for use in damp rooms.
