Residential and villa lighting

In residential lighting each room is planned according to its use: warm 2700K–3000K tones and dimmers in living areas, 3500K–4000K task lighting on kitchen worktops and at least IP44 luminaires in bathrooms. Concealed lighting and pendants create the atmosphere, while recessed spotlights provide general and accent lighting.

Frequently asked questions

Which colour temperature should be used at home?

2700K–3000K in living areas and bedrooms and 3500K–4000K on kitchen worktops are common choices.

Should concealed lighting be 12 V or 24 V?

24 V is preferred because voltage drop is lower on long runs.
