Room Lighting

Room lighting, also known as general lighting or basic lighting, is used to illuminate a room evenly. For this purpose, luminaires with a wider beam angle of approximately 120 degrees are typically used, as they illuminate a large area. This type of room lighting serves to aid orientation and ensure that essential objects, the architecture, and the people within the space are clearly visible. The goal is to make it immediately clear at a glance which room you are in and what—or who—is present there. It therefore completely avoids accent lighting, seeks to balance contrasts, and creates only soft shadows, thereby focusing solely on the essentials. Example: Living Room: For general lighting, ceiling or pendant lights can be used to first achieve a basic level of brightness. However, this is often combined with additional lighting, as this is the only way to emphasize or highlight specific areas. The lighting concept for a living room can be rounded out with accent lighting, such as wall sconces, table lamps, or floor lamps. LED strips offer another highly flexible and modern option; with their adhesive backing, they can be attached almost anywhere—thus often complementing general room lighting to add more variety.
