Ceiling light | Ostara

The minimalist ceiling light with adjustable swivel tube mounts on the ceiling as a surface fixture, and its white aluminium cylindrical spotlight can be adjusted to direct light wherever you need it, on a GU10 socket of 10 W. Choose it as a small-format ceiling light: Ø 5.2 cm, projection of 9.2 cm.

Which minimalist ceiling light should you choose for a small living room or hallway?

A single compact spotlight is enough to define a hallway or entrance: at Ø 5.2 cm, it does not overwhelm a small space. First look at the number of light points and the projection; style comes after.

• One light point for a hallway or entrance
• Several spotlights evenly spaced over a large area
• Projection of 9.2 cm: check clearance above a door
• Adjustable direction to brighten a dark wall

In a small room, it acts as a living room ceiling light without taking up visual volume. Compare it with hallway ceiling lights, which are often longer. For a living room, living room ceiling lights offer other formats, such as the Square LED ceiling light with round diffusers.

How should you aim this ceiling light to illuminate the bedroom or living room?

The adjustable head, mounted on a ridged joint, can be aimed at a wall, a headboard or a niche: the light becomes directed rather than imposed. The direction is adjusted from the floor, before or after fixing the base.

• GU10 socket, 10 W bulb
• Beam to direct towards a wall or niche
• Adjustable before or after mounting the base
• Suitable for the living room, bedroom and hallway

It is also a practical ceiling light for the bedroom: aim it at the wall rather than the bed, and its compact size brings it close to bedroom ceiling lights. For a warmer look, see the Gold ceiling light with interwoven rings and LED lighting.

Why does a pale aluminium ceiling light blend into the ceiling?

The matte white and aluminium make the fixture disappear into the ceiling and let the furniture take centre stage. Its cylindrical silhouette remains discreet, even in a small space.

• Cylindrical silhouette of Ø 5.2 cm
• Matte white on aluminium, one colour only
• Matches light wood, concrete or linen
• Minimalist style, with no added decoration

In matte white, it becomes a discreet white ceiling light that disappears into the ceiling, in the bedroom as well as the hallway. It joins the white ceiling lights in the catalogue. For a clean interior, the minimalist lights share this restraint. Another register: the Oval woven wicker ceiling light with wavy edge brings natural texture.

How do you install and maintain this surface-mounted ceiling spotlight?

Surface mounting requires no ceiling cut-out: the base is screwed on, the spotlight remains visible, on a mains supply of 220-240 V 50 Hz. A minimalist ceiling light of this format can therefore be installed without major work.

• IP20: dry rooms only
• Clean the aluminium with a soft cloth
• 5-year warranty, CE certified
• Check that the base is tight after a few weeks

It complements the white lights of an entrance or hallway. This guide also helps you get the lighting right in a clean interior.
