Multicolor lamp

To choose a colour changing lamp, start with two markers: light temperature, warm white from 2700 to 3500 K for living rooms, cool white from 4500 to 6500 K for outdoors and the kitchen, then the protection rating, IP20 indoors and IP65 outside. The finish, white, gold, grey, green or clear, decides the rest.

What light does a colour changing lamp give?

A colour changing lamp from this selection lights in warm white, from 2700 to 3500 K, for living rooms, or in cool white, from 4500 to 6500 K, for outdoors, the kitchen and hallways. Colour also comes from the finish: white, gold, grey, green or clear. For light that changes colour (RGB), a colour changing LED bulb compatible with the socket can complete the fitting.

Colour changing LED lamp: what it changes

On an LED model, the source is built in: no bulb to replace, even light and controlled consumption. The Kalisto bedside lamp works this way, with a textured glass shade. Other models take a bulb of your choosing, like the wall lights with a GU10 socket.

Warm white or cool white: which temperature to choose

Warm white wraps a bedroom or a reading corner. Cool white gives a sharper light, close to daylight, useful outside or in a kitchen. The LED lights in the selection cover both temperatures, up to you to decide by room.

Colour changing outdoor lamp: how to choose for a terrace or garden?

For outdoors, pick a model rated IP65: the collection offers light tubes, pendants and tripod lights in plastic, metal or wood, to plug in or solar. Cool white dominates outdoors, warm white warms a sheltered terrace or an open living room.

Colour changing outdoor lamp: tube, pendant or tripod?

A vertical tube marks a path or a wall, like the Elitorella outdoor tube. A pendant on a cord, like the Diva pendant, covers a terrace table. The wooden tripod moves with the evening, with the Eco model and its E27 socket.

Solar lamp or plug-in lamp outside?

Solar avoids any wiring: the Pivano light goes wherever you want, with no cable. A plug-in model gives steadier light and sometimes takes an E27 bulb. In both cases, keep the connection sheltered from splashes.

Designer colour changing lamp: which colour and style by room?

Style comes down to line and finish: contemporary with a tube or a ball, modern with metal, nordic with pale wood, vintage with a textured shade. In a living room, white or gold goes with everything. In a bedroom, stay with soft tones.

Designer colour changing lamp: which finish for a living room?

A gold finish brings a warm note, white blends into a pale interior, anthracite structures a mineral decor. Gold tones stand out well near a neutral fabric sofa, while metal finishes match a dark wood table.

Which lamp colour for a bedroom?

On a bedside table, better to choose warm white and a soft tone: that is the ground of bedside lamps and clean-lined bedside models. Avoid cool white above a bed, it breaks the evening rest.

Floor lamp, table lamp or pendant: which format to choose?

A large floor format replaces a pendant when the ceiling cannot be drilled. A table lamp is enough for a reading corner or a desk, a pendant structures a table. Compare the height of the fitting to that of the sofa and locate the socket before choosing.

Floor lamp or table lamp: when to prefer one?

On the floor, a large format lights from above and frees surfaces: see the floor lamps. On a piece of furniture, a table lamp moves around and suits small spaces. For a workstation, an adjustable model stays the most practical among desk lamps.

Italian design table lamp: the criteria that matter

Look at the silhouette, then the height relative to the furniture, finally the socket and the light temperature. A piece with a crafted design like the Lueur Papillon lamp stands out as much off as on. Check the light cone before placing it near a book.

How to wire several lamps on a single electrical supply?

Connect the lamps in parallel, never in series: live, neutral and earth run back to each point from the connection box. Switch off the breaker before working, check that the total power stays within the circuit limit, tighten the terminals then switch the power back on.

Connecting two lamps in parallel

From the box, each lamp receives its three conductors taken from the same terminals. A connector block or a clean terminal strip avoids crossing wires. Add up the combined power, here from 3 W to 10 W depending on the model, to stay within the limits of the circuit concerned.

When to call an electrician?

If the circuit is old, if the wires are rigid and brittle, or if a new cable has to be run through a wall, better to hand the work to a professional. For a simple connection on an existing box, with the breaker off, the job stays within reach of a careful DIYer.

How to spot a real salt lamp?

A real salt lamp is cut from a block of natural salt: its pink-orange hue is irregular, marked with veins and roughness, and no two pieces ever look alike. A moulded imitation has a uniform colour, sharp edges and a lighter weight.

Salt lamp, red light: where does the colour come from?

The block filters the light of the bulb and sends it back in orange to red tones, with no adjustment needed. It is a low light, made for atmosphere. For lighting that can be adjusted, better to turn to the modern models in the collection.

Salt lamp or colour changing lamp: two moods

The salt lamp stays in warm tones from pink to red, closely tied to the material. A colour changing lamp plays on finish and temperature, from warm white to cool white. To dress a bedroom, bedroom lamps offer more latitude.

Original bedside lamp, mushroom bedside lamp: which shapes for the bedroom?

An original bedside lamp plays on silhouette: ball, butterfly wings, zigzag stem or textured glass shade. A mushroom-shaped model spreads a low, wrapping light, handy on a bedside table, while a ball or a tube lights more sharply for reading.

Designer bedside lamp: ball, butterfly or shade?

A textured glass ball sets a soft light, the Erao wall light plays the butterfly wing card. The Luminéa Flore chandelier shows the same writing in a large format. For a bedside, measure the space available before choosing.

Mushroom bedside lamp: what place on a bedside table?

Its rounded shade throws the light downwards, which limits glare for the person sharing the bed. Allow for the diameter of the base so it does not eat into the table surface. A compact model in a white finish slips in anywhere.

How to care for and match a colour changing lamp?

A soft cloth is enough to dust the shades. Avoid abrasive products on acrylic and plastic, and do not wet an IP20-rated model. For colour matching, echo a tone already present in the room.

Cleaning an IP65 outdoor lamp

An IP65 tube or tripod is cleaned with clear water, then dried before switching the power back on. Avoid immersion, which the rating does not cover. Indoor lamps, rated IP20, stay out of reach of splashes.

Matching the lamp colour to the rest of the room

Echo a tone from the rug, the wood or the wall: gold with brass handles, white with pale paint. Table lamps and living room lamps are better chosen once the rest is in place. For a first set-up, the most affordable models leave some room.
