You have a handmade wooden or hay lamp - and then you put a cheap LED from a hardware store in it? That doesn't fit. A premium lamp needs a premium light source. Only the right LED light sourcetruly brings out the structures and colors of our natural shades. We only stock LEDs that we would use in our own lamps.
The perfect complement to your lamps
Our range is matched to our luminaires. Every E27 LED light sourcedelivers the warm color temperature that flatters natural wood - 2200 to 2700 K. A cheap 4000 K LED, on the other hand, turns warm oak into an office lamp and robs alpine hay of its charm.
Also important: Our LEDs hardly get warm. This is crucial for shades made of hay, leaves or flowers, which cannot tolerate hot halogen lamps. And all models are dimmable- so you can control the atmosphere from bright for reading to subdued for the evening.
What makes premium LEDs stand out
Three things distinguish good LEDs from cheap ones. First, color rendering: with a CRI over 90, colors look natural, not distorted. Second, no flickering - cheap LEDs often flicker imperceptibly and cause long-term fatigue. Third, a lifespan of 15,000 to 25,000 hours.
At three hours a day, that's over 20 years. Do the math: a premium LED for 15 euros lasts 20 years, five cheap LEDs cost more over the same period - and you constantly have to change them. So premium also pays off economically.
Shapes for every luminaire
The classic A60 shapefits almost any lamp. The larger G125 globelooks good in large pendant lights. And the hand-blown designer shapes like the A165 in Amberor Smokybecome sculptures themselves.
Filament LEDs with visible filaments are particularly beautiful - they look like old light bulbs, but consume around 90% less electricity. Behind a natural shade, this creates a light like candlelight: perhaps a little warm during the day, but unbeatable in the evening.
Choosing the right brightness
LEDs are measured in lumens, not watts. As a rule of thumb: 400 lumens correspond to about 40 watts, 800 lumens to 60 watts, 1200 lumens to 75 watts. For a bedside lamp, around 400 lumensare sufficient, 1000 to 1500 lumensare ideal above the dining table, and more for large ceiling lights in the living room.
The exact recommendation is included with each of our lamps - stick to it, because LEDs that are too strong can overwhelm natural shades. You have invested in a good lamp; invest in good light too. Your eyes and your electricity bill will thank you for it.
