Light Colour and Colour Rendering

Colour Temperature and CRI – How Light Affects Your Home

Light has a huge impact on how a home looks and feels. The same room can feel warm and cosy or fresh and energising depending entirely on the type of light used. That is why lighting is not only about brightness – the colour and quality of light are equally important.

Comfortable Light for the Eyes

Indirect Lighting Is the Creator of Atmosphere in Your Home

Indirect lighting is one of the most effective ways to make a home feel comfortable, modern and thoughtfully finished. Often, it is this type of lighting that makes a room feel soft and relaxing, even if you do not immediately notice it.

With indirect lighting, the light source is concealed so that it is not visible and does not shine directly into the eyes. Instead, the light is reflected into the room via ceilings, walls or other surfaces. The result is pleasant, atmospheric and glare-free.

The Right Protection Rating in the Right Place

What Does an IP Rating Mean?

When choosing a luminaire, attention is often focused on appearance and light output. However, when a luminaire is intended for anything other than dry indoor spaces, one of the most important considerations is its IP rating.

An IP rating indicates how well a luminaire is protected against dust, moisture and water. It is one of the most important characteristics of a luminaire, especially in bathrooms, saunas, outdoor areas, storage spaces and other demanding environments.
