Wallwashers - Stylish light with an effect

Light that creates atmosphere

Enter a room and immediately feel a special atmosphere - that is the effect of a well-placed wallwasher. These lights not only provide brightness, but also transform rooms into feel-good zones. Whether living room, hallway or bedroom: a wallwasher brings structure, depth and elegance to your rooms.

What is a wallwasher?

A wallwasher is a wall light that emits its light upwards, downwards or in both directions. Particularly popular: glare-free light directed towards the ceiling. The result: the light hits walls or ceilings, reflects gently back into the room and creates a pleasant indirect lighting effect. This lighting effect never appears harsh or intrusive - it invites you to linger.

Why you need a wallwasher

Perhaps you know the feeling: the ceiling lighting is too harsh, floor lamps look clunky and classic lamps don't create the desired ambience. This is where the wallwasher comes into play. It offers:

  • Pleasant, indirect light to the ceiling
  • Optical enlargement of small rooms
  • Accents for pictures, walls or decor
  • Stylish design with a functional effect

You don't just want to illuminate, you want to design? Then choose the right light source: the wallwasher.

Stylishly showcase living areas

In the living room

Create places of retreat. Wallwashers in the living room provide a soft light that invites you to read, relax or watch TV. Combine several models to create zones - such as a corner for reading or an area for listening to music. A modern metal wallwasher in particular fits perfectly with a clear room structure.

In the hallway

The entrance area often looks cool and impersonal. A wallwasher on the wall provides an inviting light that welcomes guests. At the same time, these luminaires help people to orientate themselves safely in the room. An LED wallwasher not only provides the necessary brightness here, but also a clear design.

In the bedroom

Create an environment that radiates calm. Instead of a bright ceiling lamp, the wallwasher provides indirect lighting. Ideal for switching on in the evening - without disturbing your sleep.

In the dining area

A wallwasher brings atmosphere to the table. It looks particularly harmonious in combination with dimmable versions. This allows you to adjust the lighting mood to suit the occasion - from breakfast to dinner with guests.

Design meets function

Wallwashers are more than just light sources. They are design elements. Whether made of metal, glass, wood or concrete - they adapt to any style:

  • Minimalist: Clear lines, reduced form, discreet effect.
  • Classic: Noble materials, warm colours, harmonious shapes.
  • Modern: Striking geometries, innovative lighting technology, contemporary design - perfect for the modern wallwasher.

Choose a wallwasher that not only lights up, but also fits in with your home.

Technology that inspires

Indirect light for more cosiness

Wallwashers rely on indirect light distribution. The light is reflected across walls and ceilings. This technology is easy on the eyes, creates depth in the room and looks particularly elegant.

Energy-efficient LED technology

Modern wallwashers are equipped with LED technology. A high-quality LED wallwasher offers

  • Long service life
  • Low energy consumption
  • Full light output immediately
  • Hardly any heat generation

LED wallwashers are durable, low-maintenance and ecologically sound.

Dimmable for flexible lighting scenes

Many models can be dimmed. This allows you to precisely control the brightness - from bright for productive hours to soft for cosy evenings. Especially when the light is directed specifically towards the ceiling.

Materials that make an impact

Each material has its own lighting effect:

  • Metal: Cool elegance, modern radiance

  • Glass: translucent, light and elegant

  • Wood: Naturalness, warmth, cosy character

  • Concrete: Industrial look, clear design language


You decide what effect you want to achieve. Whether understated or expressive - with the right material, you can create targeted accents.

Placement tips

You will achieve the best effect if the wallwasher:

  • Mounted at eye level or slightly above
  • Shines against a light-coloured wall
  • Does not shine directly into the face
  • directs the light towards the ceiling, creating a pleasant feeling in the room

Use several floodlights in the room to create a harmonious lighting concept. This not only creates brightness, but also atmosphere.

Installation made easy

Many wallwashers are easy to install. The light can be securely attached to the wall in just a few simple steps. Make sure that a power connection is available and that the floodlight is mounted stably. Some models also work with rechargeable batteries or integrated plugs - ideal for rented flats or creative lighting solutions.

The right model for every style

Regardless of whether you are furnishing your home in a modern, rustic, Scandinavian or classic style - wallwashers are available in many designs and materials. A modern wallwasher blends in stylishly and becomes a discreet eye-catcher. Choose the model that complements your ambience without taking centre stage. This way, your wall lighting becomes part of a harmonious overall concept.
