Uplight

Uplights can often be found under the German name ceiling flooder - the former is only the English and more modern term. They mainly throw their light up to the ceiling and the wall area close to the ceiling. The light of such a uplight is then reflected back in the room by the ceiling or the upper part of the wall as indirect lighting. These are mostly floor lamps or wall lights, which are used both indoors and for outdoor lighting.

There are also uplights that combine direct and indirect light, with the reflector used downwards. So light is released upwards and downwards. Ceiling Stand -up sometimes not only have a lamp shining towards the ceiling, but also have an adjustable arm than reading light - so you hit two birds with one flap.

Uplights are also always attached above eye level to avoid glare. Mostly strong lamps such as high-quality LEDs, high-voltage-halogen glow lamps or high-pressure discharge lamps are usually used to ensure enough light despite indirect lighting.
