Workspace lighting tips

Overall brightness
Basement ceiling light
Classic ceiling lights are recommended in order to create enough light for a usually dark space. LED bulbs are advantageous in the basement since they are energy efficient and provide bright light. Choose our LED spot lights to get the most out of your basement lights.

Humidity
Moisture proof lights
In laundry rooms it is crucial to install moisture proof bulbs due to the humidity. There are three options, UL-dry, UL-damp and UL-wet. The closer the bulb is to water the closer to UL-wet you want it to be. Choose what best suits your needs.
