Basement lights in the spotlight: what you need to look out for!

A well-lit cellar is a true all-rounder and offers many possibilities. Whether as a workshop for craft projects, as a fitness room or as practical storage space - the right light sources play a decisive role. From brightness and energy efficiency to style: find out how you can replace the lack of daylight in your dark room with bright lights and equip your surroundings with functionality.

Brightness

The brightness of the lamps is a real game changer. Make sure that the light sources provide enough bright light to perfectly set the scene in your cellar. The higher the lumen value, the brighter the light. Also think about the light colour - warm white light creates a cosy atmosphere, while cool white light is ideal for manual work.

Tip: We recommend a high-quality light source with approx. 4,000 lumens in a neutral or daylight white light colour. As a rule, 140 to 150 lumens per square metre are sufficient for basic lighting in cellars, and up to 300 lumens for work areas. For very large cellar rooms, it is advisable to use several light sources.

Energy efficiency

Energy efficiency is always a hot topic, but LED basement lights are the absolute hit when it comes to energy-efficient lighting. They are not only easy on your wallet, but also on the environment thanks to their low energy consumption. Take a look at the energy efficiency class and choose a basement lamp that scores highly in terms of light output and uses energy sparingly in its technical implementation.

Quality

Don't settle for half measures and rely on quality and durability. Our high-quality cellar lamps are made of extremely robust materials and have a long service life of around 100,000 hours. Whether plastic or aluminium - for special tastes, we also offer models made of chrome, concrete and other resistant materials.

Design

Rely on your personal taste, because cellar lamps are available in a wide variety of designs and styles. From antique to industrial to modern, you will find selected models in our range that perfectly match your cellar and suit your individual preferences. With harmonious lighting, you can conjure up an inspiring atmosphere in your bright room in no time at all.

Different types of cellar lamps

Light from above or below? With ceiling and wall lights for the cellar, you can always keep an overview of your own lighting concept in dark rooms. Ceiling lights provide extensive and uniform illumination of the entire room, while wall lights set specific accents and emphasise individual areas. This allows you to create a harmonious balance between brightness and atmosphere. The right combination of ceiling and wall luminaires gives you maximum flexibility and optimally harmonised lighting for effective light.

We recommend damp-proof luminaires for particularly demanding requirements in damp and wet environments - for example in laundry rooms. Their main advantage is their increased resistance to moisture, dust and even splash water. This makes damp-proof luminaires ideal for dark basement rooms where increased humidity or possible sources of moisture such as condensation can occur. With the high IP65 protection rating, they are completely dust-tight and offer protection against water jets from all directions. Are you looking for a specific protection class for your model? Our specialised lamp experts will be happy to present you with moisture-proof lights and the corresponding protection class individually.

Frequently asked questions

Which light colour is the right one for basements?

In most cases, a neutral white light colour (4000 to 5000 Kelvin) is recommended, which creates good conditions and a pleasant atmosphere. This light colour creates a bright and natural light that is ideal for workrooms or hobby rooms. However, if the cellar is also used as a living space, a warmer light colour (2700-3000 Kelvin) creates a more homely atmosphere.

Which luminaire is best for the basement?

The ceilings in cellars are often low and the area is small. Special ceiling luminaires are therefore suitable instead of pendant luminaires. Additional wall luminaires are a nice addition to the entire area of your room and also allow the vaulted ceiling of a wine cellar to appear in a beautiful light.

Does a cellar have to be illuminated for legal reasons?

For new buildings, you need a sufficient power source with various lights so that you can stay safely in the cellar. In old buildings, however, the installation of a power supply cannot be subsequently demanded by the tenant
