Most people can distinguish a modern hanging light from a more traditional one – but what exactly is meant by a “modern” design? Are the light bulbs modern too? Read on to find out more.
To be modern means to be on trend – and that’s something you see in most of our hanging lights. Glass lampshades in bright colours and new shapes and pendant lights with striking wooden elements are, among other things, currently in fashion.
The Bauhaus style is also making a comeback. Just in time to mark the centenary of the Bauhaus in 2019, Renner has developed a number of minimalist, functional pendant lights – a futuristic model with striking chrome-coloured elements but a subtle shape being typical of the trend. And we haven’t even mentioned creative designer lights!
But there’s a another factor that makes pendant lights modern – the lighting technology. Today, it’s all about LEDs. These nifty bulbs:
save money thanks to their high light output
protect the environment thanks to their low energy consumption
last up to 50 times longer than traditional light bulbs
are switch-resistant
provide beautiful, even lighting
Tip: Select the “Technology” filter and check the “LED” box to search for LED lights directly. Then simply browse our amazing offers! If you find a light that you like but it doesn’t have built-in LEDs, don’t worry – you can screw in a modern LED bulb. This allows you to combine your favourite style with the best technology.
Yes. Simply move your hand under the light and the integrated sensors will detect that you want to change the brightness. You can find other innovative control options like this with Blue Sticks by B-Leuchten. Check whether “Dimmable: Yes” and “Dimmer: Included” is indicated in the product details section, and read the product description to find out which dimmer or dimming technology is used.
If you already have a pendant light with a socket for an E27 bulb or similar, choose a light bulb with built-in dimming technology. These are available as smart bulbs or bulbs with EasyDim technology.
