The right ceiling light for every room

At s.luce we understand how important it is to find the right lighting for every room in your home. We'll show you how to consider the unique functions and requirements of each room. You will learn which factors such as room size, ceiling height, color temperature of the light and furnishing style need to be considered in order to find a harmonious and effective lighting solution.

Whether you are looking for a solution for mood lighting in your living room, practical lighting in your kitchen or creating a relaxing atmosphere in your bedroom, s.luce will help you make the right decisions. We place great emphasis on the importance of energy efficiency so that you can make a sustainable and cost-efficient choice.

When choosing a ceiling light, remember to consider the size and height of the room. In large rooms with high ceilings, imposing chandeliers or pendant lights can make an impressive statement. In smaller rooms, flatter lights or recessed spotlights are often the better choice to avoid cluttering the room. The design of the ceiling light should complement the room.

Modern lights go well with contemporary furnishings, while classic designs can enhance traditional rooms. And think about energy efficiency! LED lights are an environmentally friendly and cost-saving option. Ultimately, ceiling lights are more than just light sources; they are an important part of the room design and can have a decisive influence on the ambience.

"Choosing the right ceiling light influences the atmosphere of any room. Large rooms with high ceilings can benefit from pendant lights, while smaller rooms are best equipped with flatter lights. Dimmable options allow you to adapt to mood and time of day, and LED lights are not only energy efficient but also long-lasting to save costs in the long term."

The right ceiling light for your living room

Your living room is more than just a room - it is the heart of your home, a place to gather, relax and share experiences. It's the place where you laugh with your family, share stories with friends and enjoy quiet moments to yourself. In this central living space, lighting plays a key role as it directly influences how you feel and how the room is perceived. When choosing the perfect ceiling light for your living room, it is important to consider the size and ceiling height of the room.

In a large room with high ceilings, say over 3 meters, large pendant lights or chandeliers can create impressive accents and effectively illuminate a ceiling area of up to 25 square meters. For smaller rooms, say under 15 square meters, flatter luminaires or recessed spotlights are ideal for illuminating the room without overloading it. The light intensity and dimmability of your ceiling light are key aspects. A dimmable light that offers a brightness of around 1,500 to 3,000 lumens allows you to adjust the lighting to your needs.

From a bright, clear light for reading evenings - ideally at a color temperature of 3,000 to 4,000 Kelvin, which corresponds to a neutral white light - to a soft, subdued light for cozy movie nights at around 2,700 Kelvin, which warm white light. The choice of style and design of the light should reflect your personal taste and the character of your living room. Whether you prefer a modern, minimalist look or a classic, elegant style, the light should complement and enhance it. s.luce offers a wide range of style options, from sleek and modern to elaborate and traditional, so you can find just the right one for your space.

It's also important to consider energy efficiency. Modern LED lights are not only energy efficient but also long-lasting. They can have a lifespan of up to 25,000 hours, meaning you could potentially go years before you need to replace them. This not only saves you money in terms of replacement costs, but also reduces your electricity bill.

Let's start with the type of lighting: do you want direct or indirect lighting? Direct lighting is great if you have an area where you want to read or work. It concentrates the light on a specific point and provides a clear, bright environment. Indirect lighting, on the other hand, distributes the light more gently and evenly throughout the room, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Now to the positioning of your ceiling lights: A central placement in the middle of the room is a common choice for your ceiling light as it provides an even distribution of light. You can also place a light directly above the coffee table or dining table for targeted light. If you distribute several small luminaires around the room, you can create interesting lighting accents and provide balanced lighting at the same time.

Also think about combining them with other types of lights. Floor lamps are ideal for reading corners, while table lamps provide additional light and can also be decorative elements on side tables or shelves. Wall lights not only provide you with additional light, but can also highlight certain areas or works of art in your living room.

The dining room in your home is a place of community and enjoyment, a space where you celebrate meals together, celebrate special occasions and share unforgettable moments with family and friends. To transform this space into a place that radiates warmth and style, the right lighting plays a crucial role. A carefully selected ceiling light can have a significant impact on the ambience of your dining room.

When choosing a ceiling light for your dining room, it is important to consider the size and shape of the room as well as the dimensions of the dining table. A pendant light or chandelier hanging directly above the table should be in proportion to the size of the table.

For example, with a table of 1.5 to 2 meters in length, the ceiling light should have a diameter of around 50 to 60 cm to create a harmonious balance. The ideal height of the light above the table should be around 75 to 90 cm to ensure optimum illumination while maintaining lines of sight. The light intensity of your ceiling light is another important aspect.

A light with a variable brightness of around 1,500 to 3,000 lumens allows you to adjust the lighting for different occasions - bright, clear light for everyday meals and a softer, subdued light for intimate dinner parties.

In terms of color temperature, a warm light in the range of 2,700 to 3,000 Kelvin is recommended to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere in which food and drinks look particularly appealing. The design of the ceiling light should complement your personal style and the aesthetics of your dining room.

Whether you prefer a modern, minimalist look or want a classic, opulent vibe, s.luce offers a wide range of options that will add character and personality to your space. In your dining room, a place where you spend time with family and friends eating and chatting, the right lighting is crucial to create the right mood.

For the dining room, both direct and indirect lighting elements are important to create a balance between functionality and atmosphere. Let's start with direct lighting: A pendant light or chandelier directly above the dining table is an excellent choice. This type of lighting focuses the light on the table, which is ideal for meals and conversations.

In addition to direct lighting, indirect lighting is also important. Recessed ceiling lights or wall lamps that emit a soft, diffused light can pleasantly illuminate the room and create a cozy atmosphere. These are particularly useful when the room is used for activities other than eating, such as reading or relaxing.

In combination with the ceiling lighting, floor lamps or table lamps on a sideboard or in the corners of the room are a good addition. They provide additional light and can also serve as decorative elements to emphasize the style of your dining room.

LED ceiling lights for the bedroom

Your bedroom is your own personal sanctuary, a sacred place of peace and relaxation where you come to rest every day. Choosing the right ceiling light in this room is therefore crucial to creating an atmosphere that meets your needs for peace and security. When choosing a ceiling light for your bedroom, you should consider the size of the room and the ceiling height. In a small bedroom, perhaps only 10 to 12 square meters in size, a light that is too large or eye-catching could clutter the room.

Simple, flat ceiling lights or discreet recessed ceiling spotlights with a luminous intensity of 1,000 to 2,000 lumens are often a better choice here. In a larger bedroom of 15 square meters or more, you can set a stylish accent with a larger or artistically designed luminaire that provides up to 3,000 lumens of light. The dimmability of the light is another important aspect.

A dimmable ceiling light allows you to adjust the light intensity to your needs - bright light for dressing in the morning and soft, subdued light for a calm and relaxing evening atmosphere. The color temperature of the light plays a key role in setting the mood in the room. Warm white light with a color temperature of 2,700 to 3,000 Kelvin is ideal for the bedroom, as it creates a calming and cozy atmosphere and contributes to relaxation. Warm white light promotes a calm environment that helps prepare you for a restful night's sleep.

The design of the ceiling light should reflect your personal style and the aesthetics of your bedroom. Whether you prefer a sleek, modern look or a romantic, traditional style, the light should harmoniously complement the overall look of your bedroom. You should choose a combination of direct and indirect lighting to create both a cozy atmosphere and sufficient light for everyday tasks.

A luminaire with indirect light is best suited for the central ceiling light in the bedroom. A ceiling light that emits soft, diffuse light gently illuminates the room and avoids harsh shadows. This can be positioned centrally in the room to ensure even light distribution. In addition to the central ceiling light, reading lights on either side of the bed are a good choice.

These provide direct light for reading or other activities in bed without illuminating the entire room. These lights can be installed as wall lights next to the bed or placed as table lamps on bedside tables. For an additional light source and to create a cozy atmosphere, floor lamps or smaller table lamps can be distributed around the room.

Illuminating the bathroom with the right ceiling light

The bathroom is a room where functionality meets relaxation, a place where you start and end the day. A well-chosen ceiling light in the bathroom can make the difference between an ordinary room and an extraordinary one. When choosing the right lighting for this intimate environment, you should not only keep style in mind, but also practicality. The moisture resistance of the luminaires is important. Luminaires suitable for bathrooms should have an IP rating of at least IP44 in order to be protected against splashing water. This not only guarantees safety, but also also the longevity of the lighting in a humid environment.

The size of your bathroom determines the choice of luminaire. In smaller bathrooms, which are often only 4 to 5 square meters in size, a single, stylish ceiling light with a brightness of around 500 to 800 lumens may be sufficient. For larger bathrooms, a combination of several light sources or a more powerful luminaire with 1,000 to 2,000 lumens is recommended to achieve uniform illumination. Brightness is particularly important for activities such as shaving or applying make-up.

Uniform lighting without shadows is ideal for this. Dimmable lights offer additional flexibility so that you can adjust the light to suit your mood and requirements. In terms of color temperature, neutral white to cool white light in the range of 4,000 to 6,500 Kelvin is recommended in the bathroom. This clear, fresh light has an invigorating effect in the morning and helps you to start the day awake and focused. The design of the ceiling light should complement your personal style and the furnishings in your bathroom.

Modern, sleek lights go well with contemporary bathrooms, while traditional designs can create a warm and inviting atmosphere in classically furnished bathrooms. Here it is important to create a balance between functional lighting and a pleasant atmosphere. Ceiling lights that provide a clear and bright light are suitable for the main lighting in the bathroom. This should sufficiently illuminate the entire room.

A central ceiling light, possibly a recessed light or a flat ceiling light, is a good choice to ensure uniform ambient lighting. In addition to the central ceiling light, direct light is important, especially in areas such as the mirror. Mirror lights or wall lights on either side of the mirror provide shadow-free lighting, which is ideal for tasks such as shaving or applying make-up. These lights should be positioned so that they illuminate your face evenly without causing glare. For additional lighting and to create a relaxing atmosphere, you can also use indirect light sources such as LED strips under the bathroom cabinet or behind mirrors. This type of lighting can provide soft accents and is ideal for creating a calming ambience for a relaxing bath.
