Shade lights

Ceiling umbrella lights

Many different aspects are important when furnishing your four walls. For example, choosing tasteful and harmonious furniture is very important. The associated decoration should fit seamlessly into the appearance of your home, which also applies to carpets and curtains. However, to ensure that all these furnishings are shown to their best advantage at any time of day or night, you need the right lighting. A primary light source is essential for the well-rounded look of a room. If the lamp in question should not only shine brightly but also look aesthetically pleasing, ceiling-mounted umbrella lights may be just the thing for you. These light compositions impress with their enormous brightness, which extends across the entire room, as well as the attractive appearance of the lampshade, which you can choose freely according to your preferences. In addition to this type of ceiling light, we also offer a wide range of other lighting designs in our online shop. In addition to outdoor lights, this also includes indoor lights such as table lamps, pendant lights, wall lights and floor lamps as well as matching accessories at favourable prices.

What is a ceiling shade light?

These ceiling lights can be categorised as primary lighting. This means that they are not only responsible for the partial illumination of a specific area, such as a wall light, table lamp or floor lamp, but for the illumination of an entire room. Their light is therefore very widely distributed. Many umbrella ceiling lights are circular or rectangular and flat, which is why they can be attached to the ceiling like panels. The lampshade is often made of metal, paper or textile and contributes significantly to the appearance and style of the model. The lights usually come in rather plain colours such as white, silver, brass, black or cream. The light source, which in this case is an LED , is concealed behind a milky plastic cover. This impresses with its environmentally friendly and efficient properties. In addition to the rather flat LED ceiling light, however, there are other models that have several lighting elements, each with a lampshade. They are also referred to as "flamboyant" and sometimes have five or more individual arms. Some models are also equipped with various additional functions . For example, they are dimmable, can be controlled with a remote control or can change the colour of the LED as required.

Where is an LED ceiling light suitable?

You can install an umbrella ceiling light wherever a primary light source is required. Due to their range, large rooms that are intended for entertaining are particularly suitable. These include the dining room or living room, for example. The luminous objects therefore fulfil their purpose wherever holistic lighting is required rather than targeted illumination such as on a wall. These could be the following places, for example:

• In the hallway, to make any tripping hazards visible and less dangerous.
• In the living room, where the luminaire provides a wide-ranging yet pleasant and cosy light.
• In the children's room and bedroom, to brighten up the room with a stylish lighting object.
• In the stairwell to reduce the risk of accidents and increase safety.
• In the dining room, to accompany the get-together during meals with atmospheric brightness like a pendant light.

How are the ceiling lights installed?

As this type of model is a flat ceiling light, you don't have to deal with annoying cables or a base when installing it. Nevertheless, the installation of an LED ceiling light should not be underestimated. You can carry out simple preparatory processes yourself , such as drilling certain holes in the ceiling or fixing the light source in the socket. As soon as it is time for the electrical installation, you should have this carried out by an expert . This will reduce the risk of injury to yourself and others both during installation and during subsequent use. It also ensures that the ceiling light has been installed correctly and that the model has an optimum service life.

How can the models be cleaned?

Cleaning the lampshades depends heavily on the material they are made of. For models with plastic, metal or paper shades, it is sufficient to remove dust regularly with a feather duster . In the best case scenario, you can integrate this type of dry cleaning into your weekly cleaning routine. If the dirt is more stubborn, you should remove the shade from the light and clean it with a gentle cleaning agent . A fabric shade, on the other hand, should be treated with mild detergent and then left to air dry. For wet cleaning, you should also note the following:

• Before wet cleaning: Do not forget to remove the dust thoroughly!
• Do not use the ceiling light again until the shade is completely dry.
• Paper shades are expressly not suitable for wet cleaning!
