Recessed lamps & spotlights

Modern recessed lamps: Stylish lighting for every room

Recessed luminaires with targeted downward light are ideal solutions for rooms with limited space where outstanding illumination is required. These recessed spotlights are versatile and can be used as both ceiling and wall recessed luminaires.

From bathrooms and kitchens to staircases, corridors and bedrooms, recessed lamps not only act as a light source but also provide accents to create a special atmosphere. Recessed ceiling lights even have the potential to illuminate entire wall surfaces.

Depending on requirements, recessed spotlights are available with different light sources. Halogen bulbs or LED lamps are often used in living areas due to their excellent light quality. It is recommended to consider the placement of the lights as early as the planning phase in order to lay the necessary supply lines in good time and integrate recessed pots in concrete ceilings.

A significant factor in the purchasing decision is the ability to swivel the lamp. This function enables the recessed luminaire to shine in different directions so that no area of the room remains in darkness.

Recessed LED spotlights are particularly energy-efficient and practical. Dimmable recessed lights are particularly popular, especially for dining and living rooms. Recessed spotlights with a recessed inner frame are particularly clever as they are glare-free and offer a high level of visual comfort.

This makes installation very simple

The simplest way to install recessed luminaires is in suspended ceilings in the interior, which are covered with gypsum plasterboard. However, the installation depth must also be taken into account. Here the rule of thumb applies: the recessed lamp should have five centimetres of air on each side and above. If the ceilings have an insulating layer, lamp housings with heat protection are the better choice. If halogen lamps are installed, the safety instructions of the manufacturer must be observed for fire protection reasons, because halogen lamps have a transformer that can heat up strongly.

Advice: recessed luminaires in the ceiling with directed light radiation should be better installed near the wall: This way they light up the wall and receive beautiful light accents. Directional light on the floor makes little sense. The same applies to recessed floor luminaires: Placed close to the wall, they create interesting effects. A maximum output of 35 watts is sufficient. LEDs with white or coloured light are ideal for recessed floor luminaires in the centre of a room - for example in bathrooms or corridors. They should be covered with frosted glass.
