Star ceiling light

A star ceiling light is a ceiling fixture whose design evokes a star, a moon or a night sky, like the lunar pattern of the Oris model or the oval ring of the Ciel Nocturne. 75% of the models are LED; Oris (GU10) and Fagus (G9) run on a socket, with the temperature depending on the bulb. The selection works in a bedroom, living room or kitchen.

What is a star ceiling light and what light does it give?

The pattern reads on the ceiling. The Oris ceiling light with lunar pattern draws a crescent in metal and acrylic, the Ciel Nocturne ring evokes a night sky in white and grey, and the Fagus light-wood globe rounds off the room without a figurative design. All these fixtures are rated IP20.

Star LED ceiling light: what kind of light are we talking about?

On Radiosa, the LED is integrated: nothing to choose, and the fixture offers warm white 2700-3500K or cool white 4500-6500K. Oris and Fagus run on a bulb, GU10 for one, G9 for the other. The result therefore changes with the source installed, not only with the housing. See the LED ceiling lights and the dimmable ceiling lights.

Car star, starfish or death star ceiling light: which product is it?

These searches do not refer to a ceiling fixture for the home. This selection contains only fixed fixtures, intended for the bedroom, living room, kitchen or hallway. No mood projector, no hanging object. For a classic ceiling light, start from all ceiling lights.

Which star ceiling light should you choose for the living room?

For a living room, aim for a format that covers the living area without dropping into your line of sight. The Ciel Nocturne ring comes in 33 cm and 63 cm, Oris measures 58 x 49 cm or 50 x 50 cm, and Radiosa comes in Ø 220 mm. The large ring fills the void of a high ceiling, the compact format goes unnoticed.

Large living room ceiling light: what size on the ceiling?

A 63 cm ring suits a room with depth, generally beyond twenty square metres. At 58 x 49 cm, the lunar pattern occupies the centre of the ceiling. Browse the living room lighting and the modern living room ceiling lights to compare silhouettes.

Which ceiling light for a small living room?

In a small living room, a model flush with the ceiling lets the room breathe: a Ø 220 mm round, or the Fagus globe at Ø 12 cm and H 19 cm. A large ring would cramp the space. The round shapes come in handy here, as do the white ceiling lights, which blend into a pale ceiling.

Which star ceiling light for a bedroom or a child's room?

In a bedroom, warm white light 2700-3500K gives a restful effect. Oris and Ciel Nocturne accept a dimmer, useful for lowering the intensity in the evening. For a child's room, Oris is listed for Bedroom and Child's Bedroom, and its dimmer lets you adjust the intensity.

Star ceiling light for a bedroom: what light for sleeping?

A warm white 2700-3500K bulb on a GU10 or G9 socket is enough, and the dimmer lets you lower the intensity. In terms of style, the bedroom ceiling lights cover the soft register, the modern bedroom ceiling lights a more graphic design, and the adult bedroom ceiling lights more understated volumes.

Star ceiling light for a child: which model should you install?

The lunar pattern of Oris is listed for a child's room, like the Fagus globe and its light wood. Avoid cool white 4500-6500K above the bed: it hardens bedtime. A compact Ø 12 cm globe lights just enough without invading the room.

Which star ceiling light for an on-trend kitchen?

In a kitchen, a ceiling light flush with the ceiling lights without hindering the opening of wall units. Oris, in metal and acrylic, comes in 58 x 49 cm or 50 x 50 cm, and Ciel Nocturne brings an oval ring of 33 or 63 cm above an island or a worktop. Both are rated IP20.

Modern kitchen ceiling light: what format above the worktop?

Above a worktop, the 33 cm ring is enough to mark the area without overloading it. Above an island, a 63 cm balances the width of the unit. The models for the kitchen and the modern kitchen ceiling lights can be compared on these dimensions.

Kitchen ceiling light: is the star pattern suitable?

Yes, provided it stays discreet. A lunar pattern or a night sky reads better on a plain, pale ceiling, and pairs well with neutral cabinet fronts. For care, acrylic and glass are quicker to clean than a textile shade in a kitchen.

Powerful LED ceiling light: which socket for good lighting?

Lighting depends first on the technology fitted: integrated LED on Radiosa, GU10 socket on Oris, G9 on the Fagus globe, quoted at 8 W. Temperatures range from warm white 2700-3500K to cool white 4500-6500K. A large room benefits from a wide fixture rather than a small globe.

Powerful LED ceiling light: where does the light really come from?

From the source and the diffusing surface. A wide ring spreads light around its whole circumference, a compact globe concentrates it in the centre. On a socket, the bulb decides: GU10 or G9 can be replaced, integrated LED cannot. See also the ceiling fixtures.

Which ceiling light gives the best light?

The one whose size matches the room. A cool white 4500-6500K light looks sharper, a warm white 2700-3500K softer on the eye. In a large volume, a 63 cm ring spreads better than a Ø 12 cm globe. The Radiosa ceiling light with adjustable light plays on both temperatures.

How do you choose the size and shape: round, oval or ring?

The shapes in the selection are oval, round, ring and tube. Actual dimensions range from 33 cm to 63 cm for the Ciel Nocturne ring, from 58 x 49 cm to 50 x 50 cm for Oris, with a globe of Ø 12 cm. The shape is chosen according to the floor area of the room and the clearance available.

Round or oval ceiling light: which format for which room?

Round suits compact rooms and low ceilings, oval and ring suit elongated volumes, above a table or an island. A tube lights a narrow circulation area. Compare the modern ceiling lights and the contemporary ceiling lights if you hesitate between the two registers.

IP20: in which rooms can this ceiling light be installed?

IP20 means protected against contacts and dust, not against water splashes. These fixtures can therefore be installed anywhere except in a splash zone: bedroom, living room, kitchen, hallway, entrance, office. For a damp room, look at the bathroom ceiling lights.

How do you install and care for a star ceiling light?

Switch off the power at the breaker, then fix the fixture to the existing junction box. The fixing must suit the format, especially for a 63 cm ring, heavier and more awkward to hold up high. Glass and acrylic are cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth, wood and metal dry.

How do you fix a star ceiling light to the ceiling?

Locate the wire entries, remove the old fixture, screw the bracket onto the box, connect live, neutral and earth, then clip on the diffuser. Get help for a large ring: it is hard to hold with one hand while connecting. Always switch off the power before working.

How do you clean a glass or acrylic ceiling light?

A soft microfibre cloth is enough, with a non-abrasive product and no alcohol on acrylic. Wipe without rubbing hard, let it air dry. The light wood of the Fagus globe is dusted dry, and so are metal and aluminium. Never use a scouring sponge, which leaves micro-scratches.

Designix reassurance: secure payment, tracked delivery, possible returns and Designix customer service to help you choose the format. As for the warranty, the selection spans two years for most references, up to five years on some.

Star ceiling light in glass, metal or wood: how do you match it to the room?

Metal, iron and aluminium form the structures, while glass, acrylic and light wood serve as diffusers. The shades available range from white to grey, black to blue, through to gold. Part of the selection accepts a dimmer, and the warranty varies by reference.

Star ceiling light in glass, metal or wood: which material should you choose?

Glass and acrylic diffuse an even light and clean quickly. Light wood warms a Nordic or minimalist interior, as on the Fagus globe. Metal and aluminium give a more assertive look. See the glass versions and our world of fixtures.

Gold, white or black star ceiling light: which colour for which interior?

White blends into a pale ceiling, gold brings a warm touch to a modern interior, black marks out an industrial room. Blue and gold draw a point of colour. Compare the gold finishes, the black colourway and the metal structures.

For a singular design and a ceiling with depth, the Ciel Nocturne ring remains a clear choice. For a warmer pattern, the Oris ceiling light with lunar pattern works as well in a bedroom as in a living room. Discover the whole range in the fixtures catalogue.
