Ceiling lights and spotlights — Clarté

Install a clear lighting base in every room

Ceiling lights and spotlights often serve as general lighting: they illuminate an entire room, facilitate movement, and provide a base upon which to add softer sources. They are particularly suitable for entryways, hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, or rooms where there is a lack of space on furniture. In a living room or bedroom, they can be complemented by a table lamp, wall lamp, or pendant light to avoid light that is too uniform.

To choose, start with the shape and use of the room. A hallway requires even light along its entire length. A kitchen needs clear visibility of preparation areas, while a living room often benefits from combining general lighting with several ambient points. Table lamps are useful near a sofa or armchair, and wall lamps help highlight a circulation area or a wall.

The ceiling height, the location of the electrical outlet, and the layout of the room should guide your choice. A compact model may be suitable for a low or narrow space, while a larger room may require several sources to avoid shadowed areas. Before installation, check the dimensions of the fixture, the distance to doors and tall furniture, as well as the access required for maintenance or replacing a light source when necessary.

Technical specifications differ from one model to another. The product page is the right place to check dimensions, variants, the light source, the power type, and available instructions. To highlight a dining table or an island, also explore pendant lights. By combining a clear lighting base with accent points, you get an interior that is easier to live in at any time of the day.
