Interior lighting – light for the spaces we live in
When light shapes spaces, creates atmosphere and brings mood
Interior lighting is far more than just a source of light – it's a design element, a mood enhancer, and an integral part of every room. From the living room and bedroom to the dining area, hallway, bathroom, and home office: in all living and working spaces, light plays a central role in function, atmosphere, and architecture. Our interior lighting category offers you a curated selection of premium lights that combine technology, design, and materials at the highest level. At Licht-Kraus GmbH, we believe that every light should not only illuminate but also inspire.
This text explains what's important when choosing interior lighting: lighting effect, materials and workmanship, design variety, smart technology and control, applications and planning, energy efficiency and sustainability, as well as maintenance and value retention.
