ᐅ New Construction Lighting Design and Implementation

I wouldn’t choose a different light color for every room. At the moment, we don’t have a new lamp in every room, so there are still many individual bulbs in sockets, and they come in various light colors. In the home office, there is a 5000K lamp, and the light is simply awful—I try to turn it on as little as possible. In the kitchen and hallway, we have Philips LED spotlights with over 90 CRI and 3000K, which provide a really great, bright, and natural light. Then I have some 2700K LEDs with a CRI of 80, and all of those look ugly, with an artificial yellow-green tint. However, above the dining table, I have 2700K LEDs from IKEA (called Ledare, 600 lumens), and they produce a nice, bright, and natural light. In my opinion, the problem with most LEDs is the artificial yellow and green tint, except for these great Philips Master LED lamps and my IKEA LEDs.

Best regards

Firstly, you already have daylight mixing in anyway, and secondly, it’s not much different from having the same light temperature everywhere with different wall colors. Thirdly, the colors within your field of vision all slightly influence the perceived color calibration. So, even with laboratory-level precise adjustments, the result will never look exactly uniform.

Yes, there is. It’s called tunable white. Available as spots and strips. You need the appropriate dimmer actuator (e.g., KNX) and assign two channels instead of one.

Or you can use a standalone solution like Philips HUE.

We were just at Light & Building and came across the company Lumitech. Especially in the area of HCL, a very interesting, though not exactly cheap, option.

But there is a simpler and above all more affordable solution. These are the “dim to warm” lights from CV Lightning. We install 40 of these spots, they connect directly to 230V (approximately 230V) and can be controlled with any standard dimmer. They create a wonderfully natural light (color rendering index of 90 Ra) and when you dim them, it’s really heartwarming! Cost per spot: 20 €, each is a complete unit, only 3cm (1 inch) deep for installation, and very well made. CV Lightning also offers GU10, E27, and many other types in “dim to warm”...

The solution you mentioned is certainly cheaper, but it only offers a range from 2,700K to 2,200K. In addition, you cannot set the color temperature directly; it can only be adjusted through dimming. If I want a specific color temperature at 100% (or 90% or 80%) brightness, that isn’t possible.

Each person has to decide for themselves.

Occhio is now also being considered as a bedside lamp. The lighting designer recommends the Sospeso pendant light with gesture control.

Which Sospeso? Sospeso means hanging with Occhio, right? So I’m guessing the Sento... but seriously, as a bedside lamp, 2x €1200?!?
