SINGLE FLAME, WITH SHADE OR WITH DIMMING FUNCTION - AT KARE YOU WILL FIND ALL KINDS OF CEILING LIGHTS
Whether you want to have nostalgic classics hanging from your ceiling or whether you choose a designer piece that becomes the eye-catcher of the room even when it is turned off. Or whether you prefer simple or futuristic shapes: At KARE you will find pendant lamps with black lampshades, modern interpreted chandeliers made of glass and playful three-flame pendant lamps.
Each model has its own advantages.
SINGLE- OR MULTI-FLAME PENDANT LIGHTS? AT KARE YOU CAN STORE FOR BOTH ONLINE
Single-lamp pendant lamps with only one light source are super suitable for visually highlighting the objects below with an adjusted light cone. For example, this can be a deep pendant lamp above the reading corner in the living room, a dining table lamp above the table in the dining room or a single lamp with shade set higher in the kitchen.
Multi-flame hanging lamps emit light via several illuminants. They can be designed as a strip and create an elongated cone of light, or they can bundle several light sources, similar to chandeliers. Some multi-lamp lamps allow you to point the arms of the fixtures in different directions. They are especially practical for large, high rooms, long hallways and look great over massive overhanging dining tables.
Keep in mind with large multi-flame pendant lights that you don't overload the room. In small rooms, single-flame lights work better.
WITH UMBRELLA, CHARM OR WITHOUT? AT KARE THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Lampshades are a defining part of the design. From spherical, flat discs, angular models to ornate, abstract shapes, everything is available. Interior designers set no limits to diversity with their creative creations.
In addition to the shape, the material of the lampshade also determines the style of the lamp. For example, there are lampshades made of glass in casual retro chic, or paper in clean skandi style or natural materials in colorful ethnic look. Different metals, plastics or textiles, but also wood, ceramics or even concrete can be used for a lampshade.
HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE PENDANT LIGHTS - ALL HIGHLIGHTS FROM KARE SWITZERLAND
Height-adjustable lamps can usually be adjusted via cable pulls in a few simple steps and accordingly easily adapted to rooms and situations.
As a general rule, the lower the lamp hangs, the narrower the circle of light it emits. At the same time, the contrast between light and dark then also becomes stronger. The directly illuminated area appears brighter under the low-hung lamp. Placed higher, the contrast blurs, the light scatters more and thus radiates further into the surrounding space.
These lamps with height-adjustable suspensions are useful for the study, in the dining room or even in the kitchen. If you are cooking or working, align the lamp with your table or work surface. If you want to entertain and create a pleasant atmosphere in the room for guests and conversations, adjust the height of the lamp.
DIMMABLE PENDANT LIGHTS FROM KARE SWITZERLAND ALWAYS MATCH THE MOOD
Because of their flexibility, pendant lights with dimmer fit especially well in the bedroom, living room, or dining room. With a single touch, you can easily adjust the brightness and create a new, cozy atmosphere in the room. For dining with guests, they illuminate the room brightly enough for everyone at the table to have a good conversation. Later, when you're sitting on the couch, dim your pendant light enough to create a relaxed mood for watching TV or relaxing.
Most incandescent and halogen lamps are compatible with dimming devices. LED bulbs are marked as dimmable. Make sure you choose the right bulb for your lamp.
WHAT ARE THE ILLUMINANTS FOR PENDANT LUMINAIRES?
Suspended lights can also be distinguished by illuminants. So you have the choice between:
- LED pendant light - lifetime: 50,000 hours
- Halogen lights - lifetime: 4,000 hours
- Energy saving bulbs - lifetime: 10,000 hours
- Incandescent lamp - lifetime: 1,000 hours
When you finally choose the illuminant to the lamp, then you have the choice between different light colors, which are measured in Kelvin
- Warm white is below 3,300 Kelvin color temperature
- Universal white between 3,300 and 5,300 Kelvin color temperature
- Daylight is above 5,300 Kelvin color temperature
Natural daylight is therefore rather cold light. Nevertheless, warm light has become a particularly popular color temperature for living.
