"The staircase is often integrated into the entrance area or connects directly. If you come home yourself or receive guests, the entrance area is the first thing that is visible from your house. It is not for nothing that the entrance area and the often connected stairwell is considered Visit card of the house. . "

What do you have to pay attention to when lighting in the entrance area?



The highest bid is the highest bid in running paths such as corridors, stairs or passages. The light should be bright enough so that you can find your way and not stumble across obstacles. At the same time, the lighting should not be too bright so that you are not blinded. In the area of ​​the wardrobe, just like in the dressing room, a little more light is needed. With a sufficiently light lighting, you can better assess the color of your jackets, bags and shoes and thus combine them more easily.


Light design with LED strips


Aluminum profiles in different sizes, shapes and colors ensure that LED strips can be used incredibly versatile. There are also numerous applications for LED strips in the stairwell. LED strips can not only be used as accent lighting. High-power LED strips in professional quality also ensure light space lighting.


There are no limits to your creativity when using LED strips. Whether as direct or indirect lighting, installed in the ceiling or the wall or as an surface-mounted solution, with the appropriate aluminum profile, almost anything is possible. All you need is a socket or a power outlet and a place where you can hide the associated transformer. 


Modern step lighting with the latest LED technology



While LED strips can be used very multifunctionally as stair lighting, such as stairs or handrail lighting, there are other ways to illuminate the staircase. Particularly flat wall lights are very popular, which take up little space. But also effect lights that conjure up beautiful lighting effects on the wall are also a popular design option for staircase lighting.


In order to be able to illuminate stairs in a targeted manner, wall folding lights are the perfect choice. Many of these wall covering lights can be easily mounted in a installation socket, sometimes even without a transformer, such as the recessed box in white or aluminum brush. Wall covering lights for the stairs are bright enough so as not to stumble across the steps, but not too bright, so that they do not dazzle. As a result, this type of stair lighting is practical at night, e.g. if you want to get something to drink from the kitchen.


Pendant lights in the gallery



If you have a large or small airspace in your house, you can perfectly stage it with hanging lights. They are available in different colors, shapes, sizes and from different materials, so that the perfect gallery light is included for them. The incredible diversity also made it difficult to choose the perfect lamp in the gallery.


A light concept - a harmonious combination of different light sources



In our lighting concepts, it is particularly important to us to be able to react flexibly to different situations with the lighting. Therefore we set in important areas such as living and Dining area  Or also the entrance area to several, coordinated light sources. When choosing the lighting in the entrance area, the hallway and the stairs, you do not have to choose a type of lighting. Consciously plan different light sources that can be switched on and off as required and maybe also dimmed. Consider your daily routine, but also that of your family, not only when designing light in the entrance area, but throughout the house. Of course we will also be happy to help you Tips and tricks Around the topic of light.


Connect several pendant lights to a power outlet



In existing houses but also in new buildings, only a power outlet is available for gallery lights. But that does not mean that you have to say goodbye to the idea of ​​the 3 or 5-flame gallery. Multiple Balachine like the s.luce  Modular canopy  or  Rail systems  enable with little effort to assemble several pendant lights on an outlet. So you can put together your gallery light as you like best. Combine several individual hanging lights of a series in different sizes and colors and hang up the lights at different heights.


Sketches as planning aid



The most popular pendant lights for the gallery are airy, light glass lights in different colors, shapes and sizes. The combination of 3 smaller lights, e.g. Ø 30cm and 2 larger lights, e.g. Ø 40cm are in great demand. As a little help for the planning of your gallery light, we created 2 different sketches for the possible suspension of 5 lights on a canopy. You determine which pendant lamp is in the middle and the other pendant lights can easily arrange around the medium. Of course, this also applies if you want to use other sizes or want to use several different sizes. You can also enter the desired cable lengths here. With many lights, a cable extension is possible so that you can also use it in the gallery.
