Ceiling light
Everything you need to know about ceiling lights.
Ceiling lights are very important for two reasons: They are the main source of lighting in most rooms, but they also set the tone for your space.
They provide functional lighting so you can see what you’re doing, of course, but they also create highlights, shadows, personality and character. All of this means that choosing the right ceiling lights is a crucial part of your interior design and home style.

Every room in your home needs to be properly lit so you can perform life's most basic tasks: cleaning, entertaining, relaxing, cooking, eating, or even exercising.
Ceiling lights provide the light needed to accomplish all these tasks comfortably. With dimmers , they can completely change the mood of a room. With beautiful hues, they can give personality to the design.
With recessed spotlights , you can provide just the right amount of functional light or even highlight paintings, artwork, furniture or areas of each room. Naturally, all rooms need ceiling lights for a certain level of background light or "normal" light.

If you are looking for a ceiling light with smart features, feel free to explore our selection of smart ceiling lights .
Each room should be treated for what it is and for the use you make of it. A bathroom , for example, needs different ceiling lights than a living room. A bedroom is different from a dining room and your kitchen needs different lights than your hallway.
At Lustria, you’ll find exactly the right ceiling lights for every room and area of your home. And because you buy them directly from us, you’ll get a lot more for a lot less overhead.

Why are ceiling lights so important?
Ceiling lights are a very important part of your interior design because they set the tone for the entire room. They define the character of the space's decoration, influencing the finishes of floors and walls, colors, materials, fabrics and furniture.
They can be used as the main lighting in the room or as background lighting or, if you have installed spotlights or downlights , they can be used to highlight elements, paintings or a piano, for example.
In practical terms, ceiling lights are important because they can disperse light around the room from the highest point in the room, the ceiling.

What are the main types of ceiling lights?
The main types of ceiling lights are:
- Recessed lights : fixtures that are attached to the ceiling with little or no space.
- Semi-recessed : Fixtures that are attached with a short rod to create a space.
- Spotlights : adjustable lights that can highlight specific areas.
