Uplighters

Uplighters: Versatile light sources for living spaces

An uplighter is a stylish floor light that provides indirect lighting and is ideal for creating atmospheric lighting in living rooms, reading corners or studies. The upward-directed light creates a soft, cosy ambience that bathes the entire room in a pleasant atmosphere without glare. Whether as an additional light source, decorative element or functional reading lamp – these criteria play an important role when making a purchase:

• Additional functions

• Light bulbs

• Design

Uplighters: What should you look for when buying one?

If you want to buy an uplighter, there are a few important points to consider in order to find the right floor lamp for your needs:

• Dimmable: A dimmable uplighter allows you to flexibly adjust the brightness to suit the time of day and your mood – ideal for cosy evenings or concentrated reading.
• Light bulb: In some models, the LED light bulb is replaceable.
• Adjustability: Many models have an integrated reading arm. This adjustable reading lamp provides direct light for reading or working.
• Height & stability: The right height and a stable base ensure safety and even illumination up to the ceiling.

Dimmable uplighters with replaceable LED light sources

With dimmable uplighters, it is worth taking a closer look at the light source used.

• LED technology is energy-efficient, long-lasting and provides flicker-free, pleasant light.
• When replacing the light source, it is important that the socket and base are compatible. Common bases are, for example, E27, E14 or GU10.

Another advantage of replaceable LEDs: the desired light colour can be selected specifically to suit the preferred ambience

• Warm white (2,700–3,300 Kelvin): soft light for a cosy room atmosphere
• Neutral white (3,300–5,300 Kelvin): Clear and functional – ideal for concentrated reading
• Daylight white (from 5,300 Kelvin): Bright, activating light for rooms without daylight

Uplighters for the living room: The ideal reading lamp

In the living room, uplighters score points as modern floor lights. Thanks to their upward-beaming light, they create pleasant, glare-free lighting that illuminates the entire room evenly. Models with an additional reading arm are practical: the adjustable reading arm can be precisely aligned and illuminates book pages or magazines in a targeted manner – without shadows and with maximum comfort for the eyes. The combination of a standing lamp and a reading lamp offers a solution for anyone who wants to switch flexibly between indirect room lighting and a precise reading light – perfect for an armchair or the corner of the sofa. With a dimmable uplighter, the light can be individually adjusted from bright working light to soft feel-good lighting.

Modern uplighters in black

Uplighters in black are real design statements that fit into modern, minimalist interior styles. The matt or glossy finish harmonises with materials such as chrome, glass or cement. Thanks to their reduced appearance, black lamps blend discreetly into the room or create strong accents.

These models are for lovers of clear lines. Black uplighters can be combined with other black lamps.
