3 ideas for springtime changes in lighting and light decoration

Spring usually means cleaning and changes in the house and its surroundings. Find out what's worth changing in lighting, what trends to consider and which types of light fittings will be the best for you.

3 ideas for springtime changes in lighting and light decoration - 1

Neutral colours and minimalist design
Planning for an interior redesign for spring? When choosing lighting for your interiors, opt for neutral colours and simple-textured fixture materials. The most important advantage is that they can be matched to any colour of wall, upholstery and decorative elements in the future. 

This strategy pays off for many reasons but the most important is its versatility. If you want to change your deep maroon curtains to pastel green ones next year, the lamps won't need replacing and will look just as impressive in the new colour scheme. A good example of such a stylistic classic in a modern design is the Kanlux GALOBA series. It consists of pendant lamps and wall and ceiling fixtures that work well as the main lighting for entire rooms or individual spots – such as the dining table. 

Wall and ceiling fixtures from this family of products can be installed in the living room, hall or bedroom, and can be complemented with wall lamps with switches in their bases. Thanks to the detachable lampshades you can easily and conveniently replace the light sources in them, and the simple design will make keeping them clean very easy and much less time-consuming. 

Healthier for your eyes

Are you interested in a healthy lifestyle? Do you choose natural and health-promoting products? If you know the impact of lighting on your health and well-being, replace your bulbs with new Kanlux iQ LED LIFE bulbs this spring. They are healthier for the eyes as they emit less blue light than most LEDs on the market. 

This is important because an excess of blue light is detrimental to your health and wellbeing. It can affect your concentration and vision, and even reduce the quality of your sleep. IQ- LED LIFE with the "Less blue" effect is a solution that allows you to take care of your eyes and well-being, whether you are working from home or enjoying reading fascinating books at night.

Kanlux iQ-LED LIFE bulbs emit light of a full spectrum of colours, thanks to which they have the same effect as natural sunlight and create a comfortable environment for all your daily activities. Another argument for replacing lamps with Kanlux iQ-LED LIFE is their colour rendering index, denoted as Ra or CRI. LED lighting changes the way you see colours, but with iQ-LED LIFE you'll see them as they really are. IQ-LED LIFE bulbs have a high colour rendering index (Ra>90). Did you happen to buy a brick-red blouse that was orange in the sunlight? This may have been the fault of a low Ra factor in the shop lighting.

Solar-powered outdoor lighting

Springtime lighting changes are not just for the interior of your home. You may also consider a new light arrangement for your garden. Whether you choose standing lamps, outdoor wall lamps or lighting elements for plants and trees, it is worth choosing solutions with solar power, like those from the Kanlux SOLCA series. 

They are solar-powered garden fixtures. This means that you can place them wherever you want. Other advantages of solar lamps include quick and easy installation and complete independence from the electricity grid. They can operate at 3 different light intensities and have a motion sensor.  

Kanlux SOLCA fixtures, thanks to the IP44 protection class, are resistant to rain and adverse weather conditions. In addition, the posts have a sharp end so that they can be installed in any soft ground such as a flower bed or lawn. Kanlux SOLCA wall lamps can be fixed on a building wall without the need of installing and masking the power supply installation. Like the whole series, they are solar-powered and have motion sensors. They will be perfect for your balcony, the entrance to your house or a terrace.

Finally, remember about a very important activity - you should clean external and domestic light fittings before you start springtime changes in your lighting. Lamp cleaning is rarely at the top of the spring cleaning list, but you certainly should not forget about it. It is worth remembering that dust accumulated in the inaccessible nooks and crannies of lampshades which, rising under the heat of the light source, makes life very difficult for allergy sufferers. Wiping with a damp cloth will effectively prevent dust from being spread from ceiling and wall shades to other surfaces during cleaning, and protect fixtures in the garden from permanent, unsightly discolouration, so it is a good idea to start by doing this.
