LED Lamps Overview
LED lamps for modern living
Modern LED lights combine pleasant illumination with versatile lighting options for your home. At EGLO, you’ll find LED lights that bring design and function together in a practical way – reliable, affordable, and suitable for every room. Whether as a ceiling solution, wall light, or flexible additional lighting, LED technology can be used in many ways. You can illuminate rooms evenly or create targeted light accents, depending on your needs. From permanently installed models to portable LED lights with batteries, there is a suitable solution for almost every situation. Many versions are also dimmable and can be flexibly adapted to your everyday life.
What makes LED lights special
LED lights offer versatile lighting options for different areas of your home. Compared with traditional light bulbs, they consume significantly less energy. Many LED light bulbs reach a lifespan of up to 25,000 hours, while particularly efficient models can last even longer. For choosing the right brightness, these simple guidelines can help:
Living rooms and bedrooms: approx. 100–150 lm/m²
Kitchen, bathroom, office: approx. 250–300 lm/m²
Light colour also has a strong influence on the atmosphere of a room:
Warm White (2,700–3,300 Kelvin): for a cosy atmosphere
Neutral White (3,300–5,300 Kelvin): for functional areas
Daylight White (above 5,300 Kelvin): for focused work
If you want to stay especially flexible, a dimmable LED light is a good choice. This allows you to adjust the brightness individually at any time.
LED lights for different areas of use
Each room calls for different lighting solutions. LED lights offer maximum flexibility for this, from even general lighting to targeted light accents.
LED lights for living spaces
An LED light for the living room creates the perfect balance between function and atmosphere. Ceiling LED lights are ideal for general lighting, while an LED wall light highlights specific areas, for example next to the sofa or in the entrance area.
Typical guidelines:
Living room: 100–150 lm/m², warm white
Kitchen: 250–300 lm/m², neutral white
Bathroom: neutral white + at least IP44 in splash-prone areas
By combining the right light colour, sufficient brightness, and suitable fixtures, you can create a balanced lighting concept for each room.
Flexible and portable LED lights
Flexible lighting solutions are especially practical in everyday life, and this is exactly where LED lights show their strengths.
Compact and battery-powered LED lights
A small LED light is ideal as an additional light source, for example on a bedside table, shelf, or sideboard. An LED light with a battery gives you even more flexibility because it can be used independently of power sockets. Many models are compact and powerful at the same time. If the LED light is dimmable, you can adjust the brightness at any time, from soft mood lighting to functional illumination.
FAQs
How many lumens do I need per room?
For living rooms and bedrooms, around 100–150 lumens per square metre are sufficient. In kitchens, bathrooms, or offices, plan for 250–300 lumens per square metre.
Which light colour is suitable for which room?
Warm white light between 2,700 and 3,300 K is often chosen for living rooms and bedrooms. Neutral white light between 3,300 and 5,300 K is well suited to kitchens and bathrooms. Daylight white light above 5,300 K is mainly used in work areas.
Are LED lights dimmable?
Many LED lights are dimmable. When buying, pay attention to the relevant labelling and compatible dimmers.
H3: When do I need which IP rating?
IP20 is sufficient for dry indoor rooms. For bathroom areas, you should choose at least IP44. For more demanding areas, IP54 or higher can be useful.
When is an LED light with a battery worthwhile?
An LED light with a battery is useful whenever you want to stay flexible, for example for shelves, cabinets, or places without a power connection.
