Light up a room with style

Let your ceiling light be a bright spot in your home. With a ceiling light from IKEA, you can light a room with style. Whether you’re looking for a low hanging chandelier, an intricately designed pendant lamp or a ceiling track of spotlights, you’ll find plenty to choose from in our range.

Ceiling lights as a general light source

When choosing a ceiling light, the first question you need to answer is what it’s going to be used for.

As a general light source, a semi-flush, pendant light or chandelier located near the centre of the room can be a good choice. If you want to highlight a part of your décor, a ceiling track with spotlights might do the trick. If you’re looking to light a workspace, such as a desk or a kitchen island – consider a flush ceiling light located directly above the work area. 

The right ceiling light for the right room

The second question is which room you’re lighting, and what you’re doing in the room.

In some rooms, it’s a good idea to prioritize bright, practical lighting. For example, you might want a bright ceiling light in the hallway to easily find everything you need before leaving the house. Your bathroom might also benefit from bright, clinical lighting for shaving or applying makeup in the morning.

Other rooms, such as a living room or children’s room, are multi-purpose. You might want to have bright general lighting when entertaining guests in the living room, or when playing in the children’s room. But once the guests leave and bedtime comes around, you might want to switch to softer mood lighting. In these rooms, a ceiling light with a dimmer can come in handy.

Remember to mind your head!

Our ceiling light collection has something for every kind of room. But before you decide, you should consider the height of your ceilings.

If you have particularly low ceilings, a pendant or modern chandelier could prove to be a bit of an obstacle. If so, look for flush ceiling lights, LED spotlights, or recessed lighting, so you don’t risk bumping your head. 

If you do have a high ceiling, however, our pendant lamps and shades are a great place to start. We have pendant lamps and shades available in various different designs, letting you express your individual style.

Ceiling lights as interior design

Decorating with light can be a tricky, but fun challenge. You need to consider both the direction and intensity of the light, since each light source is going to affect the mood of the room. And, since nothing draws attention quite like a source of light, it doesn’t hurt if the lamp is looking gorgeous as well.

Update your home with track lighting 

Track lighting provides a versatile and stylish solution for lighting in any room of the home. With adjustable spotlights and arms, it’s easy to direct light wherever you need it to go. And the configuration of your lighting arrangements are customizable since individual spotlights can be completed with other lamps in the same series or track lighting with multiple lamps can be paired with other sets of lights.

Picking the right track lighting for your room

Perhaps you’d like to show off your Thanksgiving spread with a little extra flare this year. Well, that could call for kitchen track lighting with 4 or 5 adjustable spotlights suspended over your kitchen island. Just as you can customize each lamp to hit the gleam of platters and serving trays, you can do the same with a 3-lamp living room track light that illuminates a trophy case or bookshelf. Want to highlight how much you appreciate your spouse and their art? Perhaps surprise them by placing a single ceiling spotlight over their painting that will hang a bit more majestically with added illumination. Three-spotlight track lighting can be great for larger wardrobes or bedroom closets, as well as recesses in bedrooms or over bedroom vanity tables. There’s a selection of modern, sleek track lighting ready to adjust the mood and ambience on a whim while reflecting your sense of style. 

Track lighting installation

When selecting track lighting for any room, consider what your focal points are. For instance, do you want to illuminate just that homerun ball you caught at the game with dad when you were 9, or do you want to illuminate every piece in the dining set Aunt Maggie bought you for your wedding? That could be the choice between 1 spotlight or track lighting with 3 or 4 lamps. Ceiling height is another consideration. Whereas 3-lamp track lighting could do for a low ceiling, a higher ceiling could require more lighting to illuminate a dining room table far below. Just as we all like to rearrange furniture for parties or to just change things up, these customizable track lights are ready to go with the flow in offering the precise tone preference in illumination for any situation in any room of the house. All IKEA spotlights and track lighting feature a hardwired installation.

Frequently asked questions about track lighting

What is the difference between track lighting and rail lighting?

Track lighting and fixed rail lighting differ in significant ways. Fixed rail lighting is usually wall mounted instead of ceiling mounted—oftentimes in bathrooms over vanity mirrors.

What are the different types of track lighting?

Besides choosing between tracking lighting with 1 spotlight or groups of 3, 4, or 5, there’s the option to choose track lighting with adjustable spotlights as well as movable track light arms.

Can you add lights to track lighting?

You can combine individual spotlights or track lighting sets with other units in the same series. Each set of tracking lighting has a defined number of spots for light bulbs (3, 4, or five bulbs).

Arrangement of lamps on the stretch ceiling (42 photo options)

Lighting plays an important role in the decor of the room. Properly chosen arrangement of lamps on a stretch ceiling or other finishes can transform a room beyond recognition; in a large hall, space can be zoned, and a small area can be visually expanded. As an example, we will give several typical layouts for lamps, as well as present interesting design solutions for various types of premises. Since spot lighting (spotlights) is now popular in interior design, maximum attention is paid to it. nine0003

Basic rules, recommendations and placement features

Where to place lighting devices on the ceiling, everyone is free to choose for himself, but you should take into account the technical nuances, as well as the basic marking rules:

  1. Lighting devices must create a certain level of illumination for one or another parts of the room. For example, there is a place for bright light above the working area, in a resting place it is better to make the lighting “muffled”, if it is not enough, you can always install additional lighting (table lamp, floor lamp, wall lamp, etc. ). nine0010
  2. It is necessary to follow the general rules when placing ceiling spotlights:

We have listed the basic standards for any type of stretch ceiling coating, now let's move on to particulars.

Choosing a luminaire for stretch ceilings

We should also mention the power of lighting fixtures installed on stretch ceilings. Since the latter are critical to a strong increase in temperature, a number of limitations must be taken into account. For PVC films they are as follows:

For satin fabrics:

LED bulbs and strips are increasingly being used as their heat generation and power consumption are significantly lower than other ceiling lights with the same lumen output. When organizing LED backlighting, it should be borne in mind that special power supplies (drivers) are required to power the tapes, which must be placed in an accessible place. As for the same type of lamps, their drivers are built into the bases. nine0003

Popular lighting arrangements

There are many options for lighting design, but it is not possible to name the most optimal location for ceiling lights. This is due to the fact that many factors must be taken into account, from the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room to the location of the windows. You should also decide whether spotlights will be used as additional lighting (together with pendant chandeliers) or main lighting. nine0003

If possible, it is better to consult a lighting designer regarding the placement of fixtures. For those who decide to deal with this issue on their own, we can offer several typical options for placing ceiling lights.

Figure 1. The most common additional lighting schemes for the central chandelier

Such versions not only contribute to the uniform distribution of lighting over the entire area, but also, if necessary, make it possible to make bright illumination of work areas. nine0003

Spots can also act as the main lighting fixtures, in which case it is important to distribute them in such a way that they not only look beautiful, but also fulfill their intended purpose, fitting into the interior design.

Photo examples of interesting options

Here are some successful lighting solutions for different types of premises. Among the examples there will be both typical schemes and original compositions.

Corridor and hallway

In such rooms there is no need to make bright lighting, therefore, the central chandelier can be omitted. Sources are installed along the walls or around the entire perimeter, if there are mirrors, it is desirable to illuminate them additionally using wall lamps.

Classic hallway lighting scheme that matches almost any interior

Below is a similar version, but with a central chandelier.

Variant with a central chandelier

If the corridor is narrow, then place the spotlights in the middle of it, creating a light path, if necessary, you can make additional lower lighting on the walls, as shown below. nine0003 An example of a light path laid in the center of the ceiling in a narrow room

A similar arrangement is possible on a multi-level ceiling, as you can see from the figure, this version is more original.

Multi-level stretch ceiling with a light path

If there is a glossy stretch ceiling in the corridor, then upward-directed spotlights look good as additional lighting. Their rays reflected in the ceiling will create an interesting play of light.

Use of flashlights (soffits) for additional lighting

Luminaires on a stretch ceiling do not have to be installed at the same distance from each other, the asymmetric scheme looks quite original.

Asymmetric hallway lighting scheme

For small square hallways, we can recommend the classic scheme for 5 lamps. It is shown in Figure 1 (A), while the chandelier can be replaced with a ceiling lamp.

For kitchens

This type of room is rightfully considered the brightest, it is problematic to cook food in the twilight, in particular, to cut vegetables. Therefore, proper lighting of the kitchen must be given special attention. This is greatly facilitated by the division of the room into zones, in one there is cooking, in the other there is a dining table, etc. In such cases, the fixtures are installed in accordance with the interior, the layout of the room and the level of natural light. nine0003

Of the typical options in figure 1, schemes "I" and "K" are best suited for such purposes.

An example of the implementation of scheme I for 10 lamps

Option "K" is more suitable for spacious rooms.

Example of “K” scheme

It is not necessary to use the above schemes, other solutions can be found, the main thing is that there is enough light in the working area.

The kitchen work area should always be well lit.

It is equally important that the dining table also be directed with lights, as shown in the example below. nine0003 The dining table is located under the central chandelier

It is not necessary to use a hanging chandelier, with the right location of the spots, you can do without it.

Kitchen lighting without hanging chandelier

Below is another version of the "chandelierless" scheme for a kitchen with a ceiling sheet.

Multi-Level Stretch Ceiling Solution

For Hall

This is the largest room in the house, and as it is considered the main room, it must live up to this status. For large areas, the classic scheme with the main lamp in the form of a pendant chandelier and additional illumination of the zones may not be effective. In such cases, it is better to use a uniform arrangement of fixtures on a stretch ceiling. nine0003 Uniform illumination of the hall

As an alternative, schemes can be considered, with an uneven arrangement of luminaires on the ceiling. In such cases, spots can be concentrated in different parts of the room, creating zoning.

Example Uneven arrangement of luminaires

This type of arrangement is perfect for studio apartments, which, in fact, consist of one large room. With the correct arrangement of spots, a large room is easily divided into several zones.

An example of zoning in a studio apartment

A good option would be to install several lamps on the ceiling in an oval, while the figure can be divided into several segments, switched on separately.

Luminaires can be placed in the form of geometric shapes

Solutions with multi-level suspended ceilings with spotlights look good.

Hall lighting with multi-level ceiling

When choosing a scheme, be sure to consider the interior design, as choosing another solution will require major repairs. nine0003 The lighting scheme creates zoning

For the bedroom

In fact, this room is a continuous recreation area, therefore, it is necessary to adhere to moderate lighting in it.

The light in the bedroom should be moderate

If there is not enough light, you can always install additional sources in the form of a wall lamp or floor lamp.

If necessary, a sconce or floor lamp can be installed near the bed.

If we consider the classic schemes (see Fig. 1), we recommend paying attention to two options "E" (8 lamps) and "H" (12 lamps). Also looks good is a small pendant chandelier edging several figures from the LED strip. nine0003 Chandelier, LED strips and several spotlights

You can choose the option with imitation of the starry sky, an example of implementation is shown below.

Grouped small sources for the starry sky effect

Note that the interior can also affect lighting. The light reflected from the drapery acquires its shade. This is clearly seen in Figure 24, where ordinary "warm" white light lamps are used to illuminate the room. The interior adds red undertones.

Example of interior influence on lighting

There are no limits for fantasies, you can create something fabulous and unusual.

Bedroom lighting in a futuristic style

For living rooms

This type of room differs from the hall in a smaller area, so it is better to use schemes with a central powerful source (chandelier) in the middle of the room with additional spots. The latter can be located around the perimeter or highlight the corners of the room. If we consider the classical options (see Fig. 1), then we can choose schemes: A, C, D, F, G, J and L. Each of them fully satisfies the conditions of the problem. nine0003 An example of a classical backlight according to the "C" pattern

The perimeter does not have to have the correct shape, the absence of right angles creates a completely different mood.

An interesting lighting solution around the perimeter

You can not install lighting above the recreation area, it will be successfully replaced by a wall lamp.

Sconce in the recreation area

In the living room, as well as in the hall, hanging chandeliers can be completely abandoned if several powerful outdoor lamps are used.

Oval from outdoor light sources

LED strip in a multi-level plasterboard ceiling will cope with the lighting of the living room no worse than a chandelier.

Lighting scheme using recessed lights and LED strip

If the living room is small, it is enough to install spots around the perimeter.

Classic scheme without a chandelier

For a children's room

As a rule, such rooms are zoned into a place for sleeping, studying and a playground. Accordingly, a group of additional lamps should be installed on the stretch ceiling above the table, and sconces should be placed near the beds. nine0003 A sconce must be installed in the sleeping area.

Alternatively, a table lamp can be installed on the desk.

Table lamp as an additional source of light

Since the nursery is often a playground, a chandelier in the room is not desirable. Playing too much, children can damage it. Uniform placement of powerful spots allows you to do without a bulky chandelier.

It is better not to install a pendant chandelier in the nursery

Proper lighting will help create a bright, fabulous atmosphere in the nursery. nine0003 The correct scheme will fill the stretch ceilings with photo printing with paintsPhoto wallpaper will become more realistic Multi-colored lighting will create the illusion of a fairy tale

For the bathroom

Fig. 1). For such a situation, it is not even necessary to implement the scheme in full, it is enough to choose one of two types of lamps for the ceiling. If necessary, sconces or rotary lamps can be installed near the mirrors. nine0003 One of the simple options for bathroom lighting

If the bathroom is larger, then the scope for imagination expands significantly. You can use the classic version with evenly spaced spots.

How to calculate the number of spotlights

When renovating a living room or office space, it is important to correctly calculate the required number of light sources to create an efficient lighting system.

If there are too few lights, the room will be dark and uncomfortable, regardless of its purpose. If the light is too bright and intense, this will negatively affect the consumption of electricity and the vision of the users of the room.

Standards for illumination of premises for various purposes

The optimal levels of illumination for residential and office premises are determined by government agencies by calculation and fixed by special regulations.

SP 52.13330.2011 and SNiP 23-05-95 recommend following the following standards when organizing lighting systems:

  • in libraries, classrooms and offices equipped with personal computers - 300 lx; nine0010
  • in children's rooms - 200 Lx;
  • in other living rooms (kitchen, living room and bedroom) - 150 Lx;
  • in dressing rooms - 75 Lx;
  • in corridors, hallways, bathrooms and other utility rooms - 50 Lk.

    • The specified standard values ​​are calculated for 1 sq. m. meter area of ​​the room and are averaged. This means that in different areas of the rooms, the optimal level of illumination may be higher or lower than the standard. nine0003

    For example, it makes sense to illuminate the workspace more intensively, while the walk-through parts of the premises, on the contrary, do not need too bright illumination.

    Standards can be used without any reservations for calculations for rooms with standard ceilings (2.7 meters high).

    If the rooms have a higher than standard ceiling height, you will need to apply a correction factor:

    This coefficient must be taken into account in the calculations, since the farther the light sources are from objects in the room, the worse they illuminate objects and surfaces.

    Methods for calculating the number of spotlights

    To determine the required number of spotlights that will be placed in a particular room, one of two formulas is usually used: the first takes into account the parameters of the luminous flux of light sources, the second - the power of lighting fixtures. nine0003

    Calculation by luminous flux

    The formula here is as follows:

    n = S x E / F , where:

    n is the desired number of fixtures;

    S - room area in sq. meters;

    E - normative value of illumination, taking into account the purpose of the premises according to SNiP;

    F – luminous flux power of one luminaire.

    Example : it is required to calculate how many spotlights need to be installed for normal lighting of a living room with a standard ceiling height of 20 square meters. meters. The luminaires will be equipped with LED light bulbs with a luminous flux of 700 lm. nine0003

    According to SNiP, the level of illumination in the living room should be 150 Lx per 1 sq. meter. Let's multiply the area of ​​the room by the normative value of illumination: 20x150=3000 Lm - this is the total power of the luminous flux required to illuminate the room. Let's divide it by the power of one light bulb and get the required number of devices: 3000/700 = 4.3 lamps.

    When obtaining fractional values, it is recommended to round up, which means that in order to properly illuminate the living room, it will be necessary to install 5 spotlights with 700 lm lamps in it. nine0003

    Calculation by the power of light bulbs

    A few years ago, when only incandescent lamps were widespread, and alternative light sources were simply not available on the market, a different method of calculation was used.

    In this case, the power of the lighting fixtures themselves was taken into account and guided by the following standard values ​​for the illumination of the premises:

    The number of luminaires working with incandescent lamps is calculated by multiplying the area of ​​the room by the standard value of illumination and then dividing the result by the power of one bulb.

    Example : the same living room of 20 square meters. meters will be illuminated by 60 watt bulbs. We find the required number of lamps: 20x22 / 60 \u003d 7.3, rounded up to a larger number, we get that 8 devices can illuminate the room with high quality. nine0003

    LED and fluorescent light bulbs are not measured in Watts, but in Lumens. To determine the power of light sources, you will need to use the power correspondence table for various types of lamps:

    Incandescent lamps, W

    Fluorescent lamps, W

    LED lamps, W

    60-80

    25-30

    Thus, the 60 W incandescent lamps chosen to illuminate our living room can be replaced with 15-16 W fluorescent lamps or 6-10 W LED lamps. nine0003

    Taking into account the features of light reflecting surfaces

    It happens that the calculated number of lamps is not enough to organize normal lighting in the room.

    The problem here may lie in the features of the decoration and interior of the room: if they are dominated by dark tones and textures that absorb light, adjustments will need to be made in the calculations.

    The appropriate coefficient will help to take into account the degree of reflection of light rays by various surfaces. nine0003

    Its values ​​are distributed as follows:

    To simplify the calculations, take the average reflectance characterizing the finish of the ceiling, walls and floor. It is determined by adding the values ​​of the coefficients for each surface and dividing the resulting amount by 3. More accurate values ​​​​of the desired coefficient for different interior design options can be found in special tables. nine0003

    For example, if the living room has a white glossy stretch ceiling, the wallpaper on the walls is light pastel colors, and the floor is light laminate, the reflection coefficient (Ko) will be equal to (70+50+50)/3 = 57% or 0 .57. In the future, the power of the luminous flux of one light bulb (F) is multiplied by this coefficient:

    n \u003d S x E / F x Ko

    Accordingly, to illuminate our living room, taking into account the features of its interior, not 5, but 8 spot lamps with a power of 700 lm each. nine0003

    Recommendations for the placement of spotlights
