Modern ceiling lights - a no-go not to have them
Nothing works without them. Modern ceiling lights are the absolute minimum equipment for every living room. If you have installed them, you have provided sufficient basic lighting. And can cross the room carefree - if there is enough light - without tripping over Junior's toy car. Basic lighting is also sufficient for vacuuming, putting on clothes or showering. For special visual tasks such as applying make-up, reading and chopping vegetables, additional area lighting comes into play. However, lighting design usually starts with the right basic brightness using a ceiling lamp.

This varies depending on the model. But don't worry: with every modern ceiling light you also receive practical installation instructions with a drawing, from which you can take all the measurements. If you follow these instructions step by step, you will have no problems with the installation. If in doubt, it always makes sense to consult your trusted electrician.

Do modern ceiling lamps work with LEDs?
LED is modern. Consequently, modern ceiling lights work with LEDs. If this were not the case, they would not deserve their description. LED is the luminant of the present and the future not only because it is easy on the wallet and the environment. This also opens up a wide range of possibilities for designers in terms of design. This is because LED is extremely compact and saves space. Thanks to modern LED technology, particularly intricate designs can be realized with ease.
Can modern ceiling lights also be dimmed?
If you like comfort, you have to be able to dim, of course. The good news: the vast majority of modern ceiling lights can also be dimmed. This popular feature is therefore already available with many luminaires. If you want to be completely sure, you should check the "dimmable yes " box in the store to see all models with the practical dimmer function at a glance.
Are there modern ceiling lights with motion detectors?
How practical would you find that? The light comes on when you enter the room. Sensors, i.e. motion detectors make it possible. This not only offers you special comfort, but also more security. Because there's no need to fumble for the light switch or suddenly stumble over your slippers in the dark. You can find out whether your desired model has a motion detector in the product details.
For which rooms are modern ceiling lights suitable?
The questions should be: For which rooms are they not suitable? Modern ceiling lights are never out of place anywhere in the home. Whether living room, children's room, bedroom or hallway. You will always need a certain basic brightness. For the bathroom and kitchen, however, there is something to consider. Here, the luminaires should be equipped with an appropriate protection class due to increased humidity. Because water and electricity don't get on well together.
The following therefore applies: It is best to consult an electrician when equipping your damp rooms with lights. This is particularly important for the bathroom, as the DIN standard VDE 0100 Part 701, which divides the room into three protected areas, must be observed.
