Tips for Buying Wall Lights
Wall lights are a practical and stylish way to bring extra lighting into your home. They take up little space and can provide both functional and ambient light. Whether you are looking for a wall lamp for the living room, bedroom, hallway or outdoors, it is important to pay attention to a few things when purchasing. Here are helpful tips for choosing the right wall lamp.
Determine the purpose of the wall lamp
Wall lamps can have different functions. Think beforehand about the purpose of the lamp:
- Functional light: Useful in hallways, bathrooms or at the reading nook. Choose a lamp with bright, directional light.
- Ambient lighting : Suitable for living rooms and bedrooms. Choose a lamp with diffused or dimmable light.
- Accent lighting: Ideal for highlighting additional artwork, plants or furniture. Choose a directional spotlight.
Choose the right type of wall light
There are different types of wall lights, depending on the application:
- Upward or downward lighting: Wall lights that shine upward create a soft, atmospheric look. Lamps that shine downward actually provide directional light.
- Swivel and adjustable sconces: Ideal as a reading lamp or for directional lighting.
- Indirect lighting: These lamps diffuse light against the wall, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
- Wall lights with built-in switch: Handy when there is no separate light switch nearby.
Pay attention to the light source
Choose an energy-efficient light source for lower energy bills and longer life. LED bulbs are the best choice for this. Check whether the lamp has a fixed LED module or uses a replaceable light source. Do you want to be able to adjust the brightness? Then go for a dimmable wall lamp.
Match the style to your interior
Wall lamps are available in different styles and materials. Choose a lamp that fits well with your decor:
- Modern interiors: Choose sleek and minimalist designs.
- Industrial style: Black or metal wall lamps with a robust look.
- Classic or country style: Lamps with fabric shades or wooden details provide a warm look.
Consider installation
Check whether the wall lamp needs to be plugged directly into the mains or works with a plug. For bathrooms or outdoor lighting, the lamp should have a high IP rating (for example, IP44 or higher) to resist moisture.
