CEILING LAMPS

Ceiling lights

Ceiling lamps are particularly effective solutions that are less cumbersome than pendant lamps and also create an evocative light atmosphere. This is probably the last type of lamp that was created throughout history. Ceiling lighting developed with the invention of electricity and the need to illuminate large rooms that arose in the 14th century, such as new large factories. Initially, ceiling lights were made using neon lamps due to their low energy consumption and low heat emission. Today, as with most lamps, LED ceiling lights are mainly used, which are able to guarantee excellent durability and greater environmental friendliness.

Why Choose Ceiling Lights For Your Home

For a long time, ceiling lights have been relegated to the exclusive role of service lighting in large public buildings such as schools and offices. Nowadays, this classification has been surpassed thanks to new models with a great decorative impact on the market. In addition, thanks to the reduced height, ceiling lamps are perfect for new residential buildings with lower ceilings than those from several decades ago. The most popular ceiling lamps also at home are certainly ceiling lamps, consisting of a base that is placed directly against the ceiling and a canopy that hides the bulbs. Generally, this type of lamp is also applicable to the wall. When choosing a ceiling lamp that best suits your needs, you should take into account the size of the room, the direction of the light beam and the color of the light. The use of ceiling lights in bathrooms has also been dictated over time by safety concerns: due to their location, these types of lamps are difficult to reach due to water splashes, as the plug protects and conceals the bulb and electrical components. Ceiling lamps are also perfect for rooms with a single light point. They allow, for example, to illuminate a room along its entire height, or accentuate the light in a specific place, which may be a kitchen countertop or a given decorative element to be displayed. In such cases, ceiling lights with direct light are perfect, directing the light directly downwards and transferring it in one direction. Recessed ceiling lights are great for recreating diffused and designer lighting. Even if you prefer indirect lighting, you don't have to give up on buying a ceiling light: there are solutions with light sources that reflect upwards and create a soft, relaxing light. LED strips and small drywall shelves can be used to illuminate decorations, vaults and / or frescoes on the ceiling.

Perfect ceiling lights also in the office

Lighting design includes not only the rooms in your home, but it is equally important to research the most appropriate type of lighting for your workplace. Each workstation will require standard, specific and glare-free lighting. In addition to illuminating the table top with appropriate desk lamps, it is advisable to disperse the light evenly in large rooms, without creating shadows, for this purpose you can use ceiling lamps with metal, anti-reflective parabolic reflectors. Ceiling lamps for offices are often recessed into a false ceiling to meet individual needs while creating a positive and stimulating atmosphere. A bright alternative that combines a great effect when turned on and a very minimalist look when turned off is an illuminated stretch ceiling. It is a type of lighting that simulates natural light, intended for non-residential environments such as museums or supermarkets where it is important to avoid glare while providing high levels of light. It consists of a sheet of translucent material (usually polymeric) followed by invisible points of light. The sheet can be customized with decorations, colors or lettering.

Not only simple lamps: innovations in the field of ceiling lights

There are many ceiling lights with different light sources on the market today. Typically, the most innovative products today have LED light sources, especially bright and low-energy ones: this type of lamp consumes less than 20% of the energy required by an ordinary bulb. In addition, ceiling lights with RGB system allow you to live with lights of every possible color, with pleasant chromatic effects. The new generation of ceiling lamps, when associated with home automation, can be controlled via special applications for smartphones: in addition to choosing the color, they can be activated remotely or at specific times. In ceiling lamps with dimmers it is possible to adjust the light intensity of the bulb; in corridors, it can be very useful to use ceiling lamps with motion sensors, which only light up when the user passes, so as not to waste electricity.

Designer ceiling lamps: innovative and traditional materials

Ceiling lights are versatile design products that can be adapted to a variety of contexts, from modern to classic, adding value to any lighting project. Due to their historical origin, industrial-style ceiling lights are very popular, characterized by a metal structure and a mesh of the same material that protects the glass shade and the light bulb. Turtle lamps used in garages or outdoors also derive from this typology. The ceiling light is able to provide basic and basic lighting that can be adapted and adapted to environments of the most different styles thanks to the variety of materials and possible shapes. The most common are metal ceiling lights, along with the glass versions, which can also be decorated with special craftsmanship, as is the case with Murano glass ceiling lights. Especially gypsum lamps: thanks to their material, they can be treated like the rest of the ceiling, painting them and making them more discreet. There are many different shapes and models of interior ceiling lights to suit any room in your home. Square, round, rectangular - find the shape that best suits your needs.

Ceiling lighting and lighting effects

From an aesthetic point of view, choosing a ceiling lamp can be a great opportunity to choose an object that meets both functional and aesthetic needs. From icons of the past to modern design solutions, ceiling lamps can be considered real lighting installations. Rounded shapes and noble finishes are typical features of a classic ceiling lamp, possibly made of fabric. For example, a mixture of materials and chrome finishes is particularly suitable for modern ceiling lamps with a minimalist structure, most often metal.
