How does lighting affect your sense of security?

Lighting not only impacts comfort but is also crucial for safety. Choosing the right lamps and modern solutions can significantly enhance our well-being. How? Read the article to find out.

Lamps with motion and dusk sensors
Investing in lighting with motion sensors is a practical solution, especially for homes. Well-lit entrances, driveways, and gardens can deter potential intruders and enhance your sense of security. You'll be instantly aware if someone enters your property or garden.
The Kanlux DABA PRO ceiling-mounted light is perfect for installation on terraces or front doors. With its high IP65 rating, it withstands all weather conditions year-round. Made from high-quality materials, it resists mechanical damage. If you need more than one light, you can connect them in a MASTER → SLAVE system, where the first fixture with a sensor controls the entire series of connected lights.

If ceiling-mounted lights aren’t what you’re looking for, consider lantern-style fixtures. The Kanlux VIMO series comes in two colors – matte black and copper brown. This is a great choice if you value unique and original lighting designs. Choose the sizes of posts and wall-mounted luminaires and combine them into an interesting light composition that suits your preferences. These fixtures are available with or without motion sensors.

Lighting up your home at night
Safety isn't just about deterring burglars. Ensuring good lighting on stairs is crucial for everyday comfort. Opt for wall-mounted lights with motion sensors that turn on as you approach, making it easier to navigate stairs, especially at night.
For those without electrical installations near stairs, the Kanlux IRS lamp is a great solution. It operates on batteries and can be mounted using tape or screws. It features motion and dusk sensors, and in AUTO mode, it only turns on in low light or when it detects movement.

Smart lighting – Kanlux SMART
If you appreciate modern solutions, investing in a smart lighting system is a great idea. Kanlux SMART allows you to control your lighting (and more) from your smartphone, no matter where you are. You can create custom IFTTT scenarios – "If this, then that". This option will improve your sense of security. How? This feature enhances security by using sunset times to automatically turn on specific lights inside and outside.
Additionally, sensors can respond to specific actions – for instance, opening the front door can automatically light up the hallway and living room. Remote lighting management gives you control over when and which lights are on. While on vacation or business trips, you can turn lights on and off to deter potential thieves.
Beyond lighting, consider other aspects of smart control through the app. You'll receive notifications if smoke is detected (smoke sensor), and you can use specific adapters to control the power supply to devices like irons. A flood sensor not only alerts you through the app but also triggers an alarm in case of flooding.
Ever worry about leaving doors or windows open after leaving home? Install door and window sensors wherever necessary. These sensors will notify you of any openings, even when you're away.

One advantage of the Kanlux SMART system is that the devices are incredibly easy to connect and configure by yourself. There's no need for renovations or wall chasing. This greatly enhances comfort and quickly improves the sense of security. Additionally, you can add devices gradually according to your needs or budget.

LED lighting – safety and convenience first
LEDs have become the lighting choice of many for good reason. They are highly energy-efficient, consuming significantly less power than traditional bulbs. LEDs convert 80% of electrical energy into light rather than heat, making them safe to use with various textiles as they do not overheat, thus reducing the risk of accidental burns.
Moreover, LEDs are durable and available in a wide range of colours and colour temperatures. This versatility is a major advantage, especially if you prefer decorative bulbs without lampshades.
Kanlux IQ-LED LIFE lamps emit a full spectrum of light colours, thanks to which they have the same effect on us as natural daylight and create a comfortable environment for all your daily activities. IQ LED LIFE lamps emit less blue light than most commercially available LEDs. This is important because an excessive amount of blue light is detrimental to your health and wellbeing. Artificial blue light can have a negative impact on your concentration, quality of vision and also impair the quality of your sleep. IQ-LED LIFE with the "Less Blue" effect is a solution that helps you and your loved ones maintain healthy eyes and take care of your well-being.

Colour and intensity of the light
Lighting, particularly its colour, significantly impacts our well-being. Cool light (5000-6500 Kelvin) enhances focus and concentration, making it ideal for office spaces, though prolonged exposure may lead to anxiety or irritability.
For living rooms or bedrooms, warm (2500-3300K) or neutral (3500-4500K) lighting is preferable. If rooms in your home serve multiple purposes (e.g. a bedroom that doubles as a home office or a dining room where children do homework), adjustable light intensity and colour temperature lamps, such as table lamps, are a great option. LED technology allows precise control over light intensity and colour, creating more friendly and safe spaces.

Proper lighting is crucial for enhancing the sense of security. In both public and private spaces, adequate lighting can improve mental comfort and overall security. Investing in modern lighting technologies and thoughtful space planning can bring numerous benefits.
