High-quality lamps and lights that set the perfect scene in your home

Coming home to a place where you can feel comfortable and relax - this is created by the right interior design with stylish lamps and lights that perfectly set the scene for your rooms. It's not just furniture such as beds, tables or wardrobes and decorative textiles such as carpets, cushions and blankets that create an ideal feel-good atmosphere, but also the right lighting. Both interior and exterior lighting play a major role in this. There are lamps in different styles and therefore the ideal lighting for every taste.

In our well-stocked online store, you will not only find great ceiling lights, but also floor lamps, table lamps, pendant lights, outdoor lights with and without motion detectors and much more. We also offer the perfect light source for every lamp - whether pendant light or wall light - to give your room and outdoor area a warm, cozy glow. However, we not only offer lights and light sources, but also the right accessories for your stylish lamps. We offer furniture, decorative items such as mirrors and clocks, household and office utensils and other items for the kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom and children's room.

Different lighting concepts for different rooms

In the numerous rooms of a house or apartment, a wide variety of lights are available to meet the most diverse needs. In the bathroom, for example, brightly lit spotlights are desirable to provide sufficient light for the morning styling routine. The bedroom, on the other hand, should be dimmed to create an oasis of calm where it is easy to fall asleep. The choice of lamp is always determined by the type of living space and the style of the existing furniture.

What factors play a role in the choice of interior lighting?

The range of different lamps and lights is immense, especially for indoor areas. Whether floor lamps, ceiling lights, wall lights, pendant lights or table lamps - there are no limits to your individual wishes. These can easily be matched to the style of your existing furniture and style elements such as carpets and decorative elements. LED lamps, which not only create a modern ambience but also save energy, are very popular and efficient. The living room is the place in the house where everyone gathers and where the homely ambience plays the biggest role. This makes it all the more important to create a tasteful backdrop there, which can be created using globe lights and various spotlights with individual details.

Would you prefer a pendant light, a table lamp or a chandelier? Design is the main focus of the living room, while in offices it is the brightness of a ceiling light. A bathroom, on the other hand, needs a luminaire with splash protection, whereas a children's room requires a playful version. For the parents' bedroom, a soft and cozy light is considered suitable ceiling lighting. Spotlights and spotlights, on the other hand, are particularly suitable for living spaces that are subject to practicality and where a sense of style does not play a major role. If you want to reduce your electricity bill as much as possible, use lamps with motion detectors for stairwells and corridors.

What should be considered when choosing outdoor lighting?

Let your front garden shine in a new light and get lamps that illuminate your property perfectly. There are also various lamps in the outdoor lighting category that not only show you the way from your car to the front door in the form of path lights, but also offer protection against burglars. In particular, outdoor spotlights with motion detectors skillfully drive unwanted guests away. Our high-quality outdoor lights are weather-resistant and therefore suitable for outdoor use all year round. Decorative globe lights are also ideal for your patio. Solar lights are particularly energy-efficient as they are completely disconnected from the power grid.

The innovative lamps are charged by sunlight and light up at night in a wide variety of colors. When buying an outdoor light, be sure to check the IP protection rating. The first digit provides information about the protection against ingress of solid objects such as wire or dust, the second about the insulation against moisture. A lamp with protection class IP X4, which protects against splashing water and is suitable for both outdoor and bathroom use, is recommended. Always pay attention to the documented energy efficiency of a light source, which you can find on the energy label. Because buying the right product can save you a lot of money in the end.

Finding the right light source for your ceiling lights

Ideally, your ceiling light should match the furnishing style of your four walls. Furniture, decorative items or carpets can be enhanced immensely with the right lamps. Glossy surfaces and spotlights with LEDs are suitable for rooms with modern elements. These are also available as curved or straight strips. For extravagant interiors, you can opt for a decorative lamp with a shade. If you prefer a minimalist look, you should stick to clear and simple lines without embellishments.

Different light sources for different rooms

Choosing the right lamp is not the end of the story. The light plays a decisive role in adding the finishing touch to the lighting concept in your room. The bulbs on the market can be classified according to their color temperature. The value of this measurement is Kelvin. If you prefer a clear white, this should be correspondingly high. The rule of thumb is as follows: The higher the Kelvin value, the whiter the light. Bulbs between 2700 and 3000 Kelvin give your home a warm white to yellowish light and therefore a homely atmosphere. A neutral white is often found in the kitchen or office, which corresponds to 3300-5300 Kelvin. Perfect illumination of warehouses or products is achieved with cool white light, which is more than 5300 Kelvin. We recommend this color temperature for the respective rooms:

• Living room/dining room/bedroom: 2700-3000 Kelvin
• Kitchen/office: 3300-5300 Kelvin
• Garages/product presentations/warehouses: > 5300 Kelvin

Determine the brightness of the luminaire correctly

The "lumen" value provides information about the illumination of a room. It indicates the brightness of your LED light in the same way as the well-known wattage. Having problems converting from watts to lumens? No problem! We will be happy to help you. In the following list you can see the comparison between a modern LED (lumen) and an old light bulb (watt):

• 15 watts ? approx. 140 lumens
• 25 watts ? approx. 250 lumens
• 40 watts ? approx. 470 lumens
• 60 watts ? approx. 805 lumens
• 75 watts ? approx. 1050 lumens
• 100 watts ? approx. 1520 lumens
• 125 watts ? approx. 1725 lumens
