LED basement lights
A cellar is a multifunctional area and is used, for example, as a laundry and drying room, party or wine cellar as well as a work or hobby room. There is often no natural light and the ceilings are low. By using modern LED luminaires, you can safely illuminate your commercial or private cellar. In this blog article, we explain which lighting solutions are suitable for basement lighting. You will also receive informative product and expert tips.


Which lamps can be used as basement lighting?
We recommend LED basement lights. These have numerous advantages:
High energy efficiency: LEDs consume significantly less electricity than conventional light sources such as energy-saving lamps, light bulbs or fluorescent tubes. This not only saves you energy costs, but also protects the environment.
Long service life: LED basement lights have a very long service life, often up to 50,000 hours or even more. This means lower maintenance costs for you.
Best light quality: LED lights and lamps always provide high quality light with excellent color rendering and uniform illumination. They do not flicker and start immediately with no warm-up time. This is particularly advantageous in dark cellars without daylight.
Particularly robust: The right LEDs are insensitive to vibrations, dust, moisture and temperature fluctuations, making them ideal for use in basements.
Large product selection: There is a wide range of LED basement lights, both for ambient and accent lighting. Use surface-mounted LED lights instead of recessed lights - these are much easier to install because cables and the lights themselves are not recessed into the ceiling but are visible. The design is not the main focus of basement lighting, but rather the low installation effort.
Additional functions: Some LED basement lights offer additional functions such as motion detectors, a dimming function or emergency lighting modules. These can increase convenience and safety.
Tips from our lighting experts:
- Lighting solutions with a bright color temperature ensure a high level of work safety.
- High IP protection classes offer reliability and robustness.
- LED basement luminaires ensure high energy efficiency and low electricity costs.
- Provide shadow-free and glare-free light, especially in the basement - this reduces the risk of injury.
- The guideline value for basic lighting in the basement is approx. 140 to 150 lm/m². In workrooms or very large rooms, we recommend 280lm/m². This value can be achieved using a very bright light source or several basement lights.
