Many globe lights for interiors have integrated LED modules which are long-lasting and energy efficient. This is a huge advantage for luminaires having a high lumen output that is used for room lighting. As a result, you can save a lot of energy, compared to conventional incandescent or halogen lamps.

Spherical LED lamps
Different sphere-shaped lighting types
Spherical pendant lights are effective room lights and can also illuminate dining or coffee tables. For this purpose, we recommend spherical lamp bodies that orient their light directly downwards, for example through an opening on the lower side of the ball. Ceiling and wall lights can also work as room lights, whereas floor lights are rather suitable for ambient lighting. Table lamps create a comfortable lighting atmosphere when placed on side or coffee tables, sideboards, or dressers. A good alternative are globe-shaped battery lights, which do not need a cable. You can achieve a lot of attention by mounting chandeliers with a sphere design.
Globe lights in different sizes
Very small or small luminaires with a ball diameter of maybe 10 or 20 cm are great table lamps for use on bedside tables or sideboards, and they also are employed as ceiling lights. If you have a small dining or kitchen table, a medium sized globe light with a diameter of 30 or 40 cm is a good match. Larger tables and even entire rooms can be illuminated by balls of light having a diameter of 50 or 60 cm. Our very large sphere lamps with a diameter of 80 cm and our XXL versions take up even more volume and can be used as chandeliers, for example.
Spherical lamps in different colours
Spherical lamps are very popular in neutral colors, such as white or black. Models in gold or silver look particularly exquisite. Globe lights made of smoked glass are remarkable eyecatchers.
Spherical lamps made from high-quality materials
Our sphere lamps for interiors are available in different materials which all have their respective advantages. Globe lights made of mouth-blown glass, for instance, are always of superior quality and are exquisite eyecatchers in any room. Spherical paper lamps usually have a very light weight – ideal for being mounted on the ceiling – and match perfectly with Japandi style. Models made from plastic are robust and not fragile, undeniably an advantage. Ball lights made of metal give a modern touch to your home, while spherical wood lamps exude a natural charm.
Sphere lamps for different rooms
Sphere lamps are a good addition to any kind of room. In the living room, they can produce a nice atmosphere when lighting a coffee table, and in the dining room, they create a comfortable ambience at dinner time. Even in hallways or in a bathroom, they fit in harmoniously, maybe in the form of ceiling or wall lamps, and their globe shape will distribute a very pleasing room light.
Sphere lamps for outdoor areas
We also offer elegant spherical lamps for exterior use. You will find models with LEDs and with sockets and can also choose between different lighting types, colors, and materials.
In general, our spherical exterior lamps are more robust and resistant and have a higher IP protection level, so that exposure to humidity is not a problem.
With outdoor globe lamps, you can create beautiful islands of light in your exterior, in a way that is both safe and elegant. Floor lights in the garden or on the terrace give a cozy outdoor illumination, whereas ball shaped pendant lights can be mounted above a garden table or hung in trees and diffuse their soft light in these areas. Spherical bollard lights illuminate garden paths and access ways, and in the form of wall lights, they brighten a façade above a terrace or next to the entrance door.
Compared to well shielded luminaires, globe lights shed an even, yet soft light on surrounding areas. As a result, you can easily distinguish faces in the dark.

Which advantages do different materials of globe lights have?
Depending on the material you choose, ball lights have various benefits.
Sphere lights with a glass body please with their exquisite look and very good lighting characteristics. A glass ball usually consists of several layers of glass which will distribute the light very evenly. Glass is extremely durable and, what is more, it can be recycled. For cleaning, we recommend a glass cleaner and a lint-free cotton cloth.
Sphere lights made of paper have a light weight and are perfect for being fixed to the ceiling. From up there, they will add a touch of lightness to the room. Another plus: paper is sustainable and can be recycled. When cleaning ball lights made from paper, use a dry cloth.
Sphere lights in plastic, when compared to luminaires from other materials, are a lot more robust and resistant. As they are not fragile, they are the perfect floor lights for homes with young children and/or pets. Globe lights in metallized plastic create extravagant lighting effects. A good example are the Tom Dixon Melt luminaires.
Caution: Do not use microfiber cloths for cleaning a sphere light that is made from plastic. It might leave scratches on the surface. A damp cloth with a bit of dishwashing liquid is a better choice.
What influence does the structure of the globe have on the lighting characteristics?
According to the structure of the ball, the lighting effect will be different.
Opaline and sand blasted: Sphere lamps with an opaline or sand blasted surface achieve a particularly homogenous light distribution. A glass ball usually consists of several layers of glass which distribute the light very evenly. Since the surface area of sand blasted glasses is roughened – in contrast to opal glass – the light will be distributed a little less evenly, and the light source is often visible in a slightly blurred way.
Partly opaline or partly sand blasted: Globe lamps with these characteristics will scatter the light only through the areas which have an opaline or sand blasted surface. The rest of the ball emits the light like any transparent diffusor.
Transparent: Spherical luminaires with a transparent surface accentuate the light source itself and are thus perfect for vintage bulbs.
Golden: Ball lamps with a spherical surface give a particularly warm radiance to its light beams.
Smoked: Sphere lights with a smoked surface are a bit less efficient, but they create a very nice atmosphere due to the visibility of their light source. For this type of luminaire, we recommend LED-filament lamps or
vintage bulbs
