Sollux Lighting

Sollux Lighting is a Polish lighting manufacturer based in Budzyn, Poland, whose range covers ceiling lights, pendants, wall lights and chandeliers backed by a five-year manufacturer's warranty. To choose, start from the room and the socket: a compact GU10 wall light for a hallway, a large square E27 ceiling light for a living room.

Who is Sollux Lighting, the Polish lighting manufacturer?

Sollux Lighting is a Polish lighting manufacturer based in Budzyn, Poland. The brand belongs to a group that also includes Thoro and MakeYourLight. Its range brings together ceiling lights, pendants, wall lights and chandeliers, plus a few table lamps and floor lamps, in steel, wood, aluminium, glass, concrete, fabric or ceramic, with a five-year manufacturer's warranty across the whole selection.

Sollux Lighting, a manufacturer based in Budzyn, Poland

The lights are made in Poland rather than imported and rebadged, which explains the five-year manufacturer's warranty applied to every reference. The Sollux group also produces under the Thoro and MakeYourLight brands. Many models come in several colours, so you can match the same series from one room to the next without changing style. That matters when you are fitting out a whole home: the shapes stay consistent, only the finishes vary.

A range of ceiling lights, pendants, wall lights and chandeliers

The catalogue runs from the small 8 cm high wall format, such as the 8 cm high Ring wall light, to the 45 cm square ceiling light. The dominant styles are modern, minimalist, Scandinavian and a touch industrial. You will find every family in our lighting range, and everything you need to complete a room that is already fitted out by browsing all the home lighting.

Which Sollux wall light should you choose for each room?

A Sollux wall light goes in dry, indoor rooms. In a hallway or entrance, a compact model such as UTTI, MERIDA or RING, 8 cm high, keeps the way clear. In the living room, the bedroom and the dining room, round or wooden shapes such as ORBIS 1 or KEKE in oak dress the wall.

Sollux wall light for a hallway or entrance

In a narrow passage, the projection matters more than the style. The UTTI wall light for a hallway projects only 6 cm from the wall, at 10 cm wide and 15 cm high: it passes the eye without catching your shoulder. The MERIDA wall light stays at 8 cm deep, in steel, with three possible colours. Fit yours around 1.70 m from the floor, at eye level, not at shoulder height. A version with a built-in switch saves you hunting for the button in the dark.

A wall light for the living room, bedroom or dining room

These rooms take larger, more decorative formats. The ORBIS 1 wall light in aluminium measures 12 cm by 10 cm and comes in around ten finishes, from black to red. The KEKE wall light in oak brings a warmer light to the touch, with a GU10 socket. For wood worked with glass, the LAPPO wall light in wood and glass reaches 30.5 cm high and suits bedroom as well as dining room walls.

Which socket should you choose for a Sollux light?

Sollux lights are divided between GU10, E27, G9, E14 and GX53 sockets. GU10 and E27 are the most common in the collection, G9 equips the small wall formats. The socket determines the bulb you need: it is stated on the product page and the matching LED bulb is ordered separately.

Differences between GU10, E27, G9, E14 and GX53

GU10 is a two-pin socket, common on wall lights and small ceiling lights. E27 is the large screw socket, the one used by large ceiling lights such as HEXA 45 silver. G9 is a small pin socket, housed in narrow wall formats in aluminium or concrete. E14, slimmer, equips LAPPO. GX53 remains marginal in the selection. The socket always appears in the technical details: look for the "socket" line before checking out.

Which bulb to pair with each socket

Details of the wattages and sockets available can be found in matching LED bulbs.

Which materials and colours to match a Sollux light?

Sollux works mainly with steel and aluminium, then glass, ceramic and wood, with concrete and fabric on some models. White dominates by far, ahead of black, brown, taupe and red. Several models come in multiple colours, so you can match the same series from one room to the next.

Steel, aluminium, glass or wood: which look for which room

Steel gives a slim, discreet silhouette, often painted white or black: it is the material of the LIRO white wall light with a GU10 socket and the ALINO 1 black wall light. Aluminium stays light and matte, suited to small formats such as ORBIS 1, INEZ or PENNE 20. Glass diffuses light gently and pairs well with wood, as on LAPPO. Oak warms up a Scandinavian interior; the GLOBE concrete wall light leans more towards an industrial feel, with a mineral finish.

White, black, taupe or red: how to combine finishes

White blends into a ceiling or a pale wall, it is the most widespread shade in the range. Black structures a room and underlines a line, on a white wall as well as on graphic wallpaper. Taupe and red serve as accents, on a single wall light or across a series. As several models offer different colours, you can keep an identical shape in the hallway and the bedroom by changing only the shade.

Sollux ceiling light or wall light: how to choose the format?

A ceiling light illuminates the whole room and is chosen according to its surface area; a wall light illuminates a wall or a passage and is chosen according to its projection. Sollux formats range from around 8 cm high for a flat wall light to 45 cm square for a square ceiling light.

Flat wall lights, tubes and square ceiling lights: reading the dimensions

Three measurements are enough: the height (how far the light drops from the wall or ceiling), the projection (how far it reaches into the room) and the diameter or side. A flat wall light such as RING H 8 cm drops only 8 cm with 8 cm of projection: ideal where people walk. The MONO 4 ceiling light measures 24 cm square and 11 cm high, for a medium room. The HEXA 45 square ceiling light reaches 45 cm square and 15 cm high: it covers a large living room or a dining room.

Lighting a hallway, living room or bedroom: height and projection

In a hallway, aim for less than 10 cm of projection and fit the wall light around 1.70 m from the floor. In the living room, a central ceiling light of around 40 cm square is enough for a 20 m² room, completed by a wall light as additional lighting. In a bedroom, a wall light on each side of the bed replaces bedside lamps and frees up the bedside table. Compare formats directly in the other lighting ranges.

How to install and maintain a Sollux light?

All the Sollux lights in this collection are IP20: they go in dry rooms, never in a bathroom or outdoors. Installation is done with the power off, on a flush mounting box. A soft cloth is enough for maintenance, with no abrasive product on the aluminium or the glass.

Fitting a Sollux wall light or ceiling light

Cut the power at the breaker before any connection. Locate the flush mounting box, check that the supplied bracket matches the centre distance, then fix the plate before connecting the wires. Buy the bulb before fitting, not after: once the light is on the wall, going back down to find the socket does not match becomes tedious. Wall models with a single tightening screw, such as the INEZ wall light, are fitted faster than a ceiling light with several points.

Cleaning steel, aluminium and glass without damaging them

A soft, slightly damp cloth is enough on painted steel. On matte aluminium, avoid scouring pads and abrasive powders, which leave permanent marks. Glass is cleaned with a solvent-free glass cleaner. Wood, such as the oak of KEKE or LAPPO, is dusted dry: too much moisture eventually marks the grain. The concrete of GLOBE simply needs regular dusting.

What is the Sollux Lighting brand worth?

Sollux Lighting is a Polish manufacturer, not an importer: the lights are made in Poland and covered by a five-year manufacturer's warranty. The range focuses on simple shapes, modern, minimalist and Scandinavian styles, and many models available in several colours.

Five-year warranty and manufacturing in Poland

A five-year manufacturer's warranty changes the calculation when you choose: on a fixed light, fitted once for ten years, parts availability and follow-up matter more than a few euros difference at purchase. It covers the Sollux selection in our lighting range. European manufacturing also shortens replacement times if needed.

How Designix tracks Sollux stock

The stock shown is synchronised every hour with the manufacturer's actual stock, and shipping goes directly from Poland. In practice, a reference marked available really will be when you check out. Designix customer service takes over for any question before ordering as well as for a warranty claim.

Hesitating between two formats? Look first at the projection and the socket, they are the two criteria that rule out the most models. The LOOPEZ ceiling light and the PENNE 20 white wall light illustrate the difference well: one drops from the ceiling, the other hooks onto the wall. Once the format is settled, complete it with the bulb range for the LED bulb with the right socket.

Which LED bulbs should you plan for a Sollux light?

Bulbs are not supplied with the lights: they are chosen according to the model's socket. Sollux offers LEDs in E27, E14, GU10, G9 and GX53, sold separately. The whole lighting collection presented works with LED sources.

E27, E14, GU10, G9 and GX53 bulbs: which one for which light

GU10 concerns the majority of wall lights and small ceiling lights in the selection. E27 equips the large ceiling lights, including HEXA 45 silver and ALINO 1 black. G9 is intended for narrow wall formats, in aluminium or concrete, such as ORBIS 1, INEZ or GLOBE. E14 only concerns LAPPO. Note the socket on the product page, then choose the same wording for the bulb: it is the only check that avoids returning a parcel.

One bulb per socket: the reflex before ordering

Open the light's product page, note the socket, then open the bulb's page and compare. The wattages stated on Sollux lights sit around 8 W, 10 W and 15 W depending on the model, to be confirmed on each product page rather than assumed. If you are fitting out several rooms at once, order the bulbs in the same basket as the lights: it is simpler than coming back model by model. The bulb catalogue is here: matching LED bulbs.
