LED lighting for the house

Often, many options with regard to home and garden lighting remain unused. Effective indoor and outdoor lighting can make a home more inviting and comfortable thanks to a mix of general, zone and accent lighting. As you can save additional energy in addition to LEDs, read in this article.

Key facts at a glance:

·        Effective lighting through general, zone and accent lighting

·        High color rendering (> 90 Ra) is important in every area

·        Sensor lighting for quenching burglars outdoors

Proper lighting for the house

There are two main areas of lighting for the home: indoor and outdoor. Entrances, terraces, and gardens often provide starting points for improving the quality of the light. A balanced combination of natural and artificial lighting not only provides a pleasant atmosphere and a better light experience but also for more security in the house and garden. Depending on the application, you should basically choose between basic lighting (also general lighting), zone lighting (only one zone in the area is illuminated) and accent lighting (only one object is illuminated accentuated) differ. To save money, we recommend you switch to LED LIGHTS. So you not only reduce energy but also benefit from the longevity of the LEDs.

Lighting for the interior

In the interior of your home you should pay attention to which atmosphere in the respective room should be created. In the bedroom, a pleasant color temperature of <2,700 Kelvin is optimal because the light is extra warm white and invites you to relax. For example, a warm white color temperature (2,700 to 3,300 Kelvin) can be used in the living room. In any case, pay attention to a high color rendering (> 90 Ra), so that illuminated colors look natural and not dull or dull. This is especially important in the kitchen because of the food. It is sufficient to have basic lighting in each room, which is connected to the main light switch. However, even a zone lighting can create a pleasant ambiance, as the light, for example, a floor lamp only in their area broadly illuminates the part of the room.

Lighting for outdoor use

When it comes to outdoor, safety is an important factor. Lighting contributes significantly to this, for example, to deter burglars. For sensor lights, they are switched on directly when the sensor registers, for example, a movement. However, there are also twilight sensors that turn on your lights when dawn breaks. Thanks to sensors, you can save energy and therefore money, as energy consumption can be regulated so effectively. It is very common to resort to accent lighting in the outdoor area, as objects are accentuated in this way. This effect you get with LED lights. Since these are used outdoors, they must be resistant to weathering. Therefore pay attention to the IP protection the lights. We recommend the protection of at least IP4x.
