Atmospheric light for an inviting ambience

Tom Dixon Beat Flat Pendant Light LED Application picture

The dining room thrives on convivial and enjoyable moments. So that you and your loved ones always feel comfortable there, the right lighting is essential. The following applies: A cozy ambience lighting is just as important in the dining room as a well-lit dining table.

To create a cozy atmosphere, bathe the dining table in glare-free zone lighting, while using balancing room lighting to create a pleasant basic brightness in the dining room. With supplementary zone lighting, for example for pictures, cabinets or sideboards, you can set further appealing lighting accents in the room. For an extra dose of coziness, you can provide mood lighting in the dining room.

So, as you can see, there's more to soothing dining room lighting than a pendant light for the dining table. Wall lamps for pictures, table lamps for sideboards and many other types of lamps complete the range of our dining room lights.

Dining table lamps for a cozy lighting atmosphere at dinner time

Artemide Tolomeo Sospensione Decentrata Application picture

The focal point in the dining room is without question the dining table. You should illuminate it with direct, zone light that creates a cozy atmosphere. In this way, you can enjoy a feel-good ambience at dinner. So that those present are not dazzled, you should pay attention to glare-free lighting. You can achieve this, for example, with dining room luminaires whose light sources are shielded.

The classic dining table lighting is the pendant luminaire. Alternatively, arc lights as well as wall lamps with a long, ideally adjustable arm are a good choice.

Frequently asked questions to our lighting experts

Our store manager gladly answers frequently asked questions on the subject of dining room lamps.

Anja Schuh

How many watts should my dining room lamp have?

To determine the amount of light, watts is no longer the relevant quantity. Rather, you should use the lumen value as a guide for this. For comparison, a 75-watt incandescent lamp has a luminous flux of about 1,000 lumens. A modern LED lamp with the same amount of light consumes just 8 to 10 watts.

The ideal amount of light in lumens for dining room lamps depends on their intended use. If you would like to know how many lumens you need for dining room lighting, feel free to check out our chart.

If you want to specifically illuminate an area such as the dining table, we recommend about 700 lumens per square meter of area. This value is thus a good choice for lighting a 120 x 80 cm dining table with a table surface of 0.96 m². Larger tables, on the other hand, usually require multi-flame dining room lights that evenly illuminate the table surface. Here, each flame should have at least 700 lumens.

Which dining room lamps are suitable for the dining table?

Marset Discocó 53 Pendant light Application picture

The classic dining table lighting is the pendant light, which you hang centrally above your dining table. However, wall lamps with a long arm can also bathe your dining table in cozy light. If you do not have a suitable power outlet for this, simply choose a wall lamp with a plug. At least as uncomplicated are arc lamps that you set up so that the head is centered above the table surface.

Whether pendant, wall or arc lamp: It is important that the dining table lamp gives you glare-free zone light.

You can also illuminate your dining table with spotlight strips. However, you should pay special attention to some aspects here: Since these dining room lights are mounted much higher above the table than, for example, pendant or wall lights, you should ensure that sufficient light reaches the table surface. Here, the amount of light, the beam angle and the room height must be taken into account. In addition, the light must not dazzle you at the table.

Which dining room lamps are modern?

Modern dining room lamps

are characterized by clear, straightforward designs in which form follows function. Geometric design elements are characteristic – whether (half) spheres, squares or cylinders, circles, squares or even lines.

In terms of materials, noble metal and glass are particularly popular, but high-quality plastics are also frequently used. Many modern lamps for the dining room also have innovative control options and can, for example, be switched on and off by gesture control and in some cases dimmed.
