Architectural lighting, how to use light profiles
28/11/2018Light beams and the play of light can be adapted to a variety of spaces: here are some examples to inspire you.
The choice of lightbulbs for your home can be more difficult than you think. The range of decorative lighting on offer is enormous and the designs come in a variety of fascinating shapes. Yet, if your living space is reduced, a common issue in big cities, you could make some different product choices.
If you also love minimalism and prefer something essential and unobtrusive, architectural lighting is definitely the right solution for you. What does that mean? It means focusing on a solution that keeps the quality of brightness, but prefers recessed or concealed lighting, or alternatively ceiling or suspension lamps, which can be fixed to plasterboard.
These modular systems in extruded aluminium are extremely versatile. The potential applications can be horizontal or vertical, and thanks to joints with 90° angles, even T or X. You can create smooth lines without the fittings causing any obstruction, even in the corners.
Do you want to adjust the light’s intensity depending on your preferences, the time of day or your mood? Choose dimmable switches.

The right light profiles, alone or combined with pendant lamps, can create a modern light that easily competes with more traditional solutions.
You can use them throughout the apartment, in the living room or even the corridor.
This way, you can frame the spaces in a geometric manner that’s always original:
