Mantra lighting

Mantra (Mantra Iluminacion) is a Spanish manufacturer of decorative lighting: pendants, ceiling lights, wall lights, floor lamps and outdoor lights, all with integrated LED and warm white light. The choice comes down first to the family suited to the room, then to the format and finish.

What is the Mantra brand and what is in its range?

Mantra, or Mantra Iluminacion, is a Spanish manufacturer of decorative lighting. Its range distributed by Designix covers indoor and outdoor use: pendants and outdoor lights are the two largest families, followed by ceiling lights, wall lights, table lamps and floor lamps. LED is integrated on most models, some accepting a dimmer or a remote control. You will find here no spotlight, no track, no technical strip: only decorative lighting.

Mantra: definition and presentation of the brand

Behind the name, a Spanish house that works aluminium first, then glass, acrylic and iron. The common finishes are white, black, gold and grey, with corten and dark grey outdoors. The positioning sits in the mid price range, with some more elaborate pieces. To see the whole picture, you can browse all our lighting and compare the families side by side.

Mantra Flower, Alisio XL: how do you find a specific model by name?

These names refer to specific references. The most reliable way is to filter by type of light, then by finish, and to compare on each product page the dimensions, the material, the protection rating and the presence of a dimmer. The Designix lighting collection gathers this information in one place, which avoids comparing a diameter with a width.

What kind of light does a Mantra light give?

The whole selection runs on integrated LED, with a warm white light between 2700 and 3500 K, the shade that suits living rooms in the evening. Some models accept a dimmer, useful to lower the intensity at the end of the day without changing the light. The result is even, with no visible hot spot on the wall or the table.

Warm white 2700-3500 K: why this shade in a living room?

Below 3000 K, the light leans towards amber and relaxes the space; above 4000 K, it becomes whiter and more stimulating. Warm white remains the usual reference for a living room, a bedroom or a dining room, where you want to dine and unwind. The same light in cool white would have a completely different effect on wood materials and matte shades.

Dimmable intensity: how do you lower the light in the evening?

On compatible models, a wall dimmer or a remote control depending on the reference lowers the level without changing the shade. This is the case with the Serdanisto pendant in perforated felt, the Rutilia, large dimmable model, the Silnelina dimmable ceiling light and the Africa Noir arc floor lamp. The other models light at a fixed level.

In which rooms should you install a Mantra light?

The models in the range are designed for the living room and bedroom first, then for the hallway, dining room and kitchen. The choice then comes down to the format: a pendant above a table, a ceiling light for a passage, a wall light to illuminate without taking up floor space. Corridors, staircases, dressing rooms and toilets are also covered by the wall lights.

Living room, bedroom, hallway: which light for which room?

In a living room, a pendant above the sofa or a floor lamp as a complement near an armchair is enough to create two levels of light. In a bedroom, a discreet ceiling light or a wall light on either side of the bed is preferred. In a hallway, the wall light avoids coming down to the level of the passage. To compare the available formats, see all our indoor lighting.

Dining room and kitchen: pendant or ceiling light?

Above a table, the pendant marks the dining area and is adjusted in height. In a kitchen or a corridor, where people move around, the ceiling light stays flush against the ceiling and does not catch the eye. The ADN Blanc ceiling light illustrates this logic of broad lighting, without cluttering the passage.

How do you choose between a pendant, a ceiling light, a wall light and a floor lamp?

The pendant is adjusted in height and suits above a table or an island, the ceiling light illuminates a whole room at the ceiling, the wall light is placed on a wall in a corridor or a staircase, the arc floor lamp moves near an armchair or a desk. The format guides the decision more surely than the style. To see the four families together, the complete lighting catalogue gathers them.

What height and diameter of pendant should you choose?

Above a table, the bottom of the shade is generally lowered to 75 or 85 cm from the table top, high enough to see your guests, low enough for the light to stay on the table. The diameter follows the length of the top: the longer the table, the more the large format is justified. The ADN pendant and its large format or the Livnelisto pendant and its fine bar cover two different approaches to the same intention.

Mantra ceiling fan: is it the same product?

No. The Mantra selection gathered here is made up of lights: pendants, ceiling lights, wall lights, floor lamps, table lamps and outdoor lights. Ceiling fans belong to another product family and do not appear in this selection. If you are looking both to light and to circulate air, you therefore need to look elsewhere.

Which Mantra light should you choose for outdoors?

For outdoors, the selection includes an LED light in aluminium and plastic, protected to IP65, in white or grey. The IP65 rating indicates resistance to dust and water jets, which allows it to be installed on a facade or under a porch. The Alpine IP65 outdoor light illustrates this compact format.

IP65: what this rating allows outdoors

The first digit covers dust, the second water. With IP65, the fixture withstands rain and cleaning with a moderate jet, without immersion. An IP20 model, like most of the indoor-oriented selection, remains reserved for dry rooms and must not be exposed to bad weather.

Which Mantra families for outdoors?

The brand covers outdoors with wall lights, bollards, markers and ceiling lights. Corten and dark grey finishes are common there, without being systematic depending on the reference. To place these models next to the indoor pieces, our lighting selection remains the same entry point.

How do you match the materials and colours of the Mantra range?

Aluminium dominates the selection, often combined with acrylic for the diffusers, iron on some structures and felt on the acoustic wall lights. White, black, gold and brown make up the indoor finishes: repeating the same shade on two lights in a room is enough to match them. For outdoors, corten and dark grey go well with dark facades.

Aluminium, iron, acrylic: which material for which result?

Aluminium stays thin and stable, it disappears behind the light. Iron marks the lines more and gives a more graphic design, visible on the Arrecife star wall light. Acrylic diffuses without dazzling. Felt, matte and thick, softens the light, as on the Acustic round wall light Ø 45 cm.

White, black or gold: which finish for the room?

White blends into a light ceiling or wall and is hardly noticed. Black draws a clear silhouette, useful on a white wall or in a hallway where it structures the space, like the Africa black wall light W 9 cm. Gold brings a warm touch on a neutral background. One strong finish per room is enough.

How do you install and maintain a Mantra light?

The models in the selection run on integrated LED: there is no bulb to screw in, no socket to choose. Installation is limited to connecting to the mains, fixing the bracket and, for pendants, adjusting the cable height. The stated manufacturer warranty is 2 years on the selection, without applying to every reference.

Pendant: how do you adjust the height above a table?

Depending on the model, the cable adjusts from 20 to 220 cm or from 35 to 150 cm. First fix the bracket, connect, then adjust by measuring from the table top rather than from the ceiling: that is the only dimension that matters to the eye. The adjustment is easy to redo after moving furniture.

Maintenance: which method for aluminium and acrylic?

A soft, dry cloth is enough on aluminium as on acrylic. Abrasive products and scouring sponges are avoided, as they scratch the diffusers and dull the finishes. For the felt of the wall lights, a light brushing or a vacuum cleaner on minimum power removes dust without crushing the fibres.

Secure payment, tracked delivery and returns: how does it work?

Need advice before confirming your light?

Measure the location before choosing, especially for a pendant: available diameter, useful cable height, distance to the wall. The Designix customer service team can review your project and confirm that one finish matches another. Remember to check the format of the large model, the ADN pendant, before choosing it above a table.
