Things to know about ceiling lamps - Guide & FAQ
One of the first questions that arises after moving into a new flat is what ceiling lamps to choose. To begin with, these practical lamps provide enough light to illuminate the entire room and thus serve as basic lighting. In other words, they ensure that the light is evenly distributed. It does not matter whether they are ceiling lamps made of glass or plastic , for example.
Once all the furniture is in place, it will become clear where further luminaires are needed to provide additional light. Ceiling luminaires alone, however, can provide enough light to create a cosy, inviting and modern atmosphere.
Let us now take a closer look at the following points:
- How difficult is it to install a ceiling light?
- Do I need a drill to install a ceiling light?
- Is a ceiling light suitable for every room?
- Can I turn any bulb in my ceiling light?
- Do ceiling lights always shine downwards?
- Are you looking for high-quality materials for your ceiling light?
- How do I find the right ceiling light for me?
- What colours are ceiling lights available in?
How difficult is it to assemble a ceiling light?
If you can claim to be sufficiently skilled, then mounting ceiling lights is no challenge. Even as an inexperienced craftsman, a ceiling light can be hung easily and well with the enclosed instructions. If you have any questions about your new ceiling lighting, our service team is always happy to help or, if in doubt, your trusted electrician.
Do I need a drill to install a ceiling light?
YES! It is definitely better. You don't want the ceiling light to fall on your head. Advertising often tempts you to simply stick the ceiling light to the ceiling. But you should not rely on this if you want to enjoy your ceiling light for a long time.
Most of the time, the scope of delivery includes the appropriate screws and dowels so that you can start mounting directly. Once you have got the hang of it, the ceiling luminaires can be installed very quickly in any area. However, for suspended or plasterboard ceilings, it is important to use special screws and plugs to hold the weight.
Is an LED ceiling luminaire suitable for every room?
Basically, yes. From the children's room to the hallway to the bathroom or bedroom. An LED ceiling luminaire as basic lighting is suitable for every room. Particularly popular are LED panels.
Particularly in transit areas such as the hallway, the shapes of the ceiling luminairesare wellsuited due to their flat height. This way, no one can bump their head when passing by.
The entrance area is nevertheless brightly lit and creates an inviting atmosphere. If the ceiling lamps are also equipped with a dimmable LED, nothing stands in the way of a harmonious ambience.
Ceiling lamps in small rooms
Even in small rooms where cupboard doors or room doors open wide into the room, flat luminaires, usually LED luminaires, are the clear winners. If you now think that high and large rooms are not suitable for beautiful LED ceiling luminaires, you are wrong. Even in these rooms, ceiling lamps provide pleasant light throughout the interior. You are welcome to combine luminaires to get the most out of your lighting design.
A ceiling luminaire in a child's room
If you are looking for bright and at the same time decorative lamps for the children's room, you will certainly find what you are looking for at Ceiling lamps for children's rooms . Lamps for the children's room are available in many designs such as black with pirates or colourful with fairies and many other colours and shapes. In addition, the lights can often be dimmed. Because they are suspended, children cannot reach the luminaire and therefore cannot accidentally break it.
Ceiling luminaires in rooms with little daylight
For basement rooms, attics, bedrooms or storage rooms, the lighting needs to be particularly bright because there is often no daylight at all in these rooms. Here, it is not the shape of the ceiling luminaires or the luminaire in general that is decisive, but rather the luminosity. For these rooms, the powerful and efficient LED ceiling lamps are recommended.
Can I turn any light source in my ceiling light?
This question can only be answered depending on the model you buy. Each ceiling light may have a different socket, which in turn influencesyour choice of light source such as conventional ceiling lights with E27 socket or ceiling lights with LED light source and modern LED technology. Of course, it also depends on your personal preferences whether is dimmable or not, which light and which mood you want to create.
Nowadays, the most energy-saving are ceiling lights with LED light sources, which have a long service life and are easy on your wallet. LED ceiling lights are very advanced in many respects and stand for high-quality lighting. To give you a better overview of LED ceiling lights, we have prepared a list that shows you the advantages of LEDs. A LED light bulb consumes:
- 90 % less energy than incandescent lamps
- 60 % less energy than halogen lamps and
- 10 % less energy than energy-saving lamps
In some luminaires, the question of the right light source does not even arise because LED lamps with an operating time of about 50,000 hours are already permanently installed. Nevertheless, it is of course not bad to know the advantages. The argument of low power consumption plays a very important role here, of course.
Do ceiling luminaires always shine downwards?
The answer to this question is clearly no. Your ceiling light is as individual as you and your very personal needs. If you prefer LED lighting and indirect light, in the living room or above the dining table, there are suitable products for this case, too. Especially warm white LED light gives the living room a cosy atmosphere.
Are you looking for high-quality materials?
As is so often the case in the lighting sector, there are no limits to the materials for your ceiling lamp. You will find a wide range of ceiling lamps in our luminaire assortment. To give you an idea, we have listed our materials here for you. Ceiling lamps can be made of the following materials:
- Ceramic
- Stainless steel
- Plastic
- Wood
- Textile
- Glass
- Plaster
All the materials you can take from this list fit perfectly into your interior design style and can also be combined with each other. If you would like to have access to more information before buying a ceiling lamp, the next sections are just right for you.
How do I find the right ceiling lamp for ideal light?
Every taste and every demand on a ceiling lamp for the living room is individual. Therefore, in the following we will give you an overview of the ceiling lighting variants we carry. From classic to modern to integrated motion detectors, you will find various ceiling lights in all colours and shapes in our Skapetze online shop. The main differences are mainly:
- Designs, e.g. retro style
- Functions, e.g. dimming or colour control
We would like to provide you with further inspiration in the following. To help us do this, we will introduce you to some types of ceiling lights in more detail. Perhaps this will help you to recognise which ceiling light is better suited to your wishes and needs.
Classic, traditional ceiling lights
The classic ceiling light is often round or square and emits uniform bright light into the entire room. Usually, the surround is contrasting in colour and the suspension is rather low so that the luminaire hangs directly below the ceiling. There is usually a choice of simple colours such as brown, grey, copper, silver and anthracite . A dimmable ceiling lamp with textile is also a classic.
Ceiling lamps with a modern look
On the other hand, there are modern ceiling lights that know no limits. Almost any shape and colour can be realised. Special materials are also used. Of course, LED lighting is also possible here.
In general, the diameter of modern ceiling lamps is larger and the unconventional arrangement of different spotlights creates a harmonious and unusual play of light. No question about it. Futuristic ceiling lamps are rightly a popular type of ambient lighting.
Ceiling luminaires with motion detectors
Motion detectors integrated in ceiling luminaires offer entirely new possibilities and are ideal for energy-saving purposes . For example, in the hallway or entrance area, these luminaires can be used and offer enormous added value.
Visualise the scenario when you come back from shopping: both arms are heavily loaded. You open the door and then don't have to grope in the dark for the switch, but the hallway lights up all by itself. What's more, you can't forget to turn on the light when you leave the flat or house because it switches off automatically after a certain time.
Ceiling lights with remote control
Controllers are the little helpers in everyday life; they are now available for almost every appliance. They are a relief when you are snuggled up on the sofa and forget to switch off or dim the ceiling light (but we'll get to that later). With a remote control you can alsopair several lamps and save yourself a trip to several light switches. Smart Home is the term that sums up this concept here.
Ceiling lights with loudspeakers
If your lighting is not yet enough to illuminate your rooms, you should get a luminaire with an integrated loudspeaker . This allows you to connect your mobile phone to the lamp via Bluetooth and listen to your favourite audio book in the shower or bathtub, for example. These models impress with their various functions.
Ceiling lights with colour change
Lighting with coloursis also in vogue. Depending onthe mood or situation, the shades of white can vary between warm white, neutral white and cold white. Provided the right light source is integrated, it is also possible to project a wide spectrum of light colours (from red to yellow to blue and all colours in between).
Ceiling luminaires with dimmer function
A dimmer is particularly recommended in the living room or kitchen. If the mood needs to be a little cosier and more romantic, luminaires with a dimmer are the right choice. Envelop your home in atmospheric light and relax with a glass of wine.
There are two ways to dim your ceiling light. Either with a specially mounted dimmer or simply with a suitable light source that can be operated via the wall switch. Dimmable ceiling luminaires offer the possibility of creating many moods in one area. In addition, some luminaires are dimmable with remote control thanks to a controller. This means even more flexibility for you!
In which colours are ceiling lights available?
When it comes to lights, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to colour at Skapetze in the online shop. Black ceiling lights look particularly stylish and fit into almost every living area. If you prefer a bright and fresh ambience, white ceiling lights are the right choice are more likely to be the right choice. Colours such as cream or beige also look very modern and stylish.
In our light shop, however, you also have the option of buying ceiling lights in your respective desired colour, for example, if it is a ceiling light with a textile shade. Of course, you don't have to do without design with all of the above-mentioned variants. You are spoilt for choice.
Whether ceiling spotlights classically in black and white or a combination of different spots made of different materials such as wood, nickel or textile. Envelop your interior in very special and extraordinary light effects.
