To choose a Brilliant light fixture, start with the socket and then the room: E27 dominates the selection, ahead of E14, GU10 and G9, and some models run on integrated LED. Brilliant is a German manufacturer of indoor and outdoor lighting, and Designix distributes a selection of wall lights, ceiling lights and garden lights in wood, metal, glass or bamboo.
Who is Brilliant, the light fixture manufacturer?
Brilliant AG is a German lighting brand, part of the NLC group. It designs lighting for the home and garden, indoors and outdoors, with a modern design spirit and an accessible price point. The brand is now distributed in France, in particular by Designix.
Who makes Brilliant light fixtures?
Brilliant light fixtures are made under the Brilliant AG brand, a German manufacturer whose activity covers indoor and outdoor lighting for the home and garden. The catalogue ranges from ceiling lights to terrace lights, including pendants and wall lights. The brand belongs to the NLC group.
What does "brilliant" mean in French?
In English, brilliant means shining, bright, luminous. It is also the name of the German manufacturer Brilliant AG, specialising in indoor and outdoor light fixtures. On this page, Brilliant refers only to the lighting brand and its selection sold by Designix, among the entire range of home lighting.
Which Brilliant light fixture families are in the range?
The range covers ceiling lights, its largest family, then outdoor lighting, pendants, table lamps, wall lights, floor lamps, desk lamps, spotlights and a few ceiling fans with light. At Designix, wall lights dominate the selection, and indoor and outdoor coexist there.
Which Brilliant light fixtures for indoors?
Indoors, a ceiling light illuminates a whole room, a pendant hangs above a table, a table lamp moves around, a floor lamp occupies a corner and a wall light illuminates a wall without taking up floor space. Some references include a non-replaceable LED, and nearly a third accept a dimmer. See our indoor and outdoor lighting catalogue to place the formats.
Are there Brilliant light fixtures for outdoors?
Yes. The brand designs garden and facade lights, with protection ratings suited to moisture. In this selection, the Gitse IP44 outdoor wall light, in clear glass on a black globe, is the only reference intended for the terrace, outdoors and the bathroom.
How to choose a Brilliant light fixture by room?
Start from the use before the style: a living room calls for ambient light and a focal point on a wall, a passage calls for discreet guidance that does not glare. The table below summarises what to look for in each area and what to check before ordering.
| Room | What to look for | Suitable light fixture type | To check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Living room | ambient light and a focal point on a wall | open cage wall light, ceiling light | socket, possible dimmer, footprint |
| Bedroom | soft, non-glaring light | wall light, table lamp, pendant | warm white, adjustable intensity |
| Hallway | guidance, grazing light | wall light, spotlight | light width, IP20 sufficient |
| Staircase | enfilade lighting | several repeated wall lights | constant height and spacing |
| Entrance | first impression, crisp light | cage-style wall light, ceiling light | dimensions, socket |
| Bathroom and outdoors | resisting moisture and weather | light fixture with an IP rating above IP20 | IP rating, material, G9 bulb on the outdoor model |
Which Brilliant light fixture for a living room or bedroom?
All the references in the selection suit the living room and the bedroom. In a bedroom, an adjustable wall light such as Janna, the adjustable head in chrome glass, lets you direct the light towards a book rather than the bed. In the living room, an open cage wall light such as the openwork cage Giada acts as a wall focal point.
Which Brilliant lighting for a hallway, staircase or entrance?
In a hallway or on a staircase, small low-profile wall lights are repeated to guide the way without glaring. The Benny in bamboo and black metal measures only 10 cm square, which leaves room on a narrow wall. On a staircase, keep the same height and spacing from one point to the next.
Which bulb and socket to choose on a Brilliant light fixture?
The socket determines the bulb to provide, and therefore the light you get. E27 leads in the selection, followed by E14, GU10 and G9. Some models run on integrated LED, with no bulb to change. The maximum permitted wattage is stated on each product page and must be respected.
| Socket | Bulb to provide | Where to find it in the selection | To remember |
|---|---|---|---|
| E27 | screw bulb, including filament | Benny, Leika, Decca, Giada wall lights | the most common, easy replacement |
| E14 | small screw bulb | Janna wall lights | for compact and adjustable light fixtures |
| GU10 | pin spotlight | Crowton, Jesper wall lights | directed light, bulb barely visible |
| G9 | small pin bulb | Gitse outdoor wall light | reduced format, check the IP rating of the light fixture |
| Integrated LED | none, non-replaceable module | Jutta, Kiefer wall lights | no bulb change |
E27, E14, GU10, G9: how to find your way?
E27 and E14 screw in, GU10 and G9 clip onto two pins. E27 accepts the largest bulbs, including filament, and is replaced anywhere. GU10 projects directed light from a small housing. G9 is the most compact: it is mostly found on an outdoor light fixture such as Gitse.
When to choose a Brilliant light fixture with integrated LED?
Choose an integrated LED when you no longer want to change bulbs and the stated wattage is enough for the use. These models show low wattages, suited to guidance or accent lighting. For strong, adjustable light, prefer a bulb-based light fixture: Leika and its braided cable accepts an E27 bulb.
Wood, metal, glass or bamboo: which material to choose?
Wood leads this selection, ahead of metal, glass, bamboo and aluminium. Black remains the most common finish, with white, silver and beige. The choice is mainly made by room: wood warms a bedroom, metal structures a hallway, glass diffuses light.
Is black the only finish in the range?
No. Black largely dominates, but the selection also offers white, silver and beige. Eliberena, adjustable in opal glass, combines chrome glass and white, while Giada Rose, light wood version, plays a pink finish. Compare the renderings before making your choice.
Which material resists best near an entrance or staircase?
Near an entrance or on a staircase, metal and aluminium clean with a simple wipe and do not fear passing traffic. Wood requires a dry cloth, without prolonged moisture. Bamboo, light and natural, fits better in a sheltered entrance than on an exposed wall. See the light fixtures for the living room and bedroom if you are looking for a warm material instead.
Warm white, dimmer, IP44: which technical criteria to check?
Check in this order: light temperature, protection rating, dimmer compatibility, then dimensions. Colour temperature gives the tint: warm white, around 2700 to 3500 K, suits living areas. The IP rating indicates resistance to moisture and dust, and dimensions decide the space on the wall.
What does the IP protection rating of a light fixture mean?
The first digit concerns dust, the second water. An IP20 protects against finger contact and solid objects, which is enough in a hallway, bedroom or living room. For a bathroom or terrace, a higher rating is needed, such as IP44. All the references in the selection are IP20, except the outdoor model.
Can a Brilliant light fixture be connected to a dimmer?
Some of the selection accepts a dimmer, provided the bulb fitted also does. Among the models concerned, Crowton, wood wall light with speckled shade and Decca and its gold conical shade let you adjust the intensity. Integrated LED models, however, cannot be dimmed via the bulb.
How to install and care for a Brilliant light fixture?
A Brilliant wall light is fixed to the wall on a flush box, after switching off the power at the breaker. Care is limited to a soft cloth, dry for wood and metal, slightly damp for glass. No abrasive products, no solvents.
Should the power be switched off to replace a bulb?
Always switch off the power at the breaker before working on a light fixture, even for a simple bulb replacement: the switch alone does not guarantee the absence of voltage. Let the bulb cool, replace it with a wattage equal to or lower than that stated on the product page, then restore the power.
How to clean a glass or metal wall light?
On glass, a non-abrasive glass cleaner and a soft cloth are enough, and the bulb must be removed first. On metal, dust dry and keep the wall light away from moisture if it is IP20. On wood, a dry cloth only. The Kiefer, long pine wall light, simply needs dusting.
Why buy a Brilliant light fixture from Designix?
Designix provides secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and customer service to support your choice. The Brilliant light fixtures in the selection come with a two-year warranty, and each product page details dimensions, socket, material and protection rating before ordering.
What warranty on Brilliant light fixtures?
The warranty is two years on all the Brilliant light fixtures in this selection. It covers the brand, independently of the secure payment, tracked delivery and returns provided by Designix. Keep the product page of your model: it states the maximum permitted bulb wattage.
Payment, delivery and returns: how does it work?
To choose a light fixture, compare the room (IP20 for indoors, IP44 for the bathroom), the socket (E27, E14, GU10, G9 or LED) and the dimensions (width, depth, height) on each product page. Unsure between two sockets or two widths? Ask us, then choosing among all the light fixtures becomes simple.
Two models to compare before deciding: Jesper, black industrial-style wall light in GU10 for directed light, or Jutta, LED wall light with flexible arm if you no longer want to change bulbs. Compare the other available light fixtures then validate your basket: secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and Designix customer service.
