COOKING.

Bright, neutral white light makes for a pleasant illumination of the important work spaces and ensures the proper reflection of the colour of food and products.

EATING.

The combination of direct, uniform light for a perfect illumination of the dining table, supplemented with indirect, warm effect lights on ceilings and walls creates an atmospheric ambience.

RELAXATION.

The interaction of areas of light and horizons created by light creates a comfortable and cozy atmosphere.

STAGING WITH LIGHT.

Spotlights make the illuminated objects on shelves and showcases the focus. Grazing light is excellent for emphasising the structures of walls, and surface illumination meets functional requirements.

SETTING ACCENTS WITH LIGHT.

The Loox lighting system offers many possibilities to set accents in a room. With the appropriate light composition corners, edges and surfaces can be dramatized. Sculptures, fabrics, textures, and plants are enhanced with deliberately placed accent light.

Spot lighting in a niche highlights decorative objects and breaks up large homogeneous wall surfaces. An LED strip light in an offset ceiling creates an artificial horizon, simulates daylight in enclosed spaces, and mitigates the harsh effect of the corners of the room.

HIGHLIGHTING WITH LIGHT.

Uniform, bright light accentuates the functional areas, complementing the general room light. An intelligent combination of basic lighting and effect light can change the overall effect of the room and thus positively influence the mood.

DIRECTIONAL LIGHT.

Narrow beam Loox spotlights can create directional lighting effects to highlight specific objects.

With surface mounted or built-in spotlights in a row it is possible to achieve flat surface illumination of specific areas. A special effect is created by overlapping light cones, staging the illuminated area with ambiance.

Spotlights are most often used to accentuate surfaces or objects or to divide areas in space into zones. Directional light can be used both directly and indirectly. The Loox system offers a wide variety of possible applications.

LINEAR LIGHT.

Linear illumination is created with LED strip lights.

Inside cabinets and shelves, on work surfaces or enclosures of furniture, Loox LED strip lights provide uniform light with a broad area of illumination.

Linear light allows creating both direct and indirect light scenarios. The flexibility of LED strip lights lets you the realise countless creative ideas.

Light and
Surfaces

REFLECTIVE OR SHINY SURFACES.

High-gloss surfaces act like a mirror. Depending on the viewing angle, the light sources become visible on the surface. This unsightly effect can be minimised by suitable placement of the lights.

The mirror law must be observed: The angle of incidence corresponds to the angle of reflection. The more parallel the illumination angle to the surface, the less the mirror effect.

COLOURED SURFACES.

The wavelengths reflected by a surface determine the colours that humans perceive. For example, a green plant only reflects the green wavelengths and absorbs all the others. Thus, the plant appears green.

When coloured light falls on a white surface, it completely reflects the incident light and takes on the colour of the light. That is why a white wall appears reddish when illuminated red. Illuminating a coloured surface with coloured light creates mixed colours.

When furniture fronts or a wooden floor are illuminated, they reflect shades of brown that bathe all neutral surfaces, such as a white ceiling or wall, in a warm tone.

WOOD & STONE SURFACES.

Wood and stone surfaces are materials that are very suited for being staged with a good lighting concept. Wood surfaces have the best impact with direct lighting. Stone surfaces can be staged with spotlights. Grazing lights accentuate the structures of natural surfaces and give the material an appearance of depth.

DARK SURFACES.

Dark materials absorb light, so it is necessary to use stronger light. However, too much light destroys the ambiance and comfort.

BRIGHT SURFACES.

Bright materials reflect the light much better than dark materials. A brightly designed space therefore requires less overall light. Extra effect lighting adds freshness and a feeling of spaciousness to the room.

SWITCH LIGHT DIRECTLY.

The Loox system offers a wide range of switches for a wide range of tasks. Depending on your comfort demands or intended use.

  • Push switch
  • Rocker switch
  • Foot switch
  • Sensor switch
  • Motion detector
  • Dimmer
  • Proximity switch
  • Capacitive switch/dimmer
  • Door contact switch
  • Door sensor switch

REMOTE CONTROL OF LIGHT.

Especially important is the control of light scenarios in multi-functional rooms. Switch lights on and off conveniently with remote controls from anywhere in the room and create the desired light situations.

Depending on the application remote controls can be used for easy control of several light sources, from multi-white lights to coloured RGB lights.

CONTROL LIGHT CENTRALLY & MORE.

The Smart Home is a trend that offers increased comfort. The idea of networking and centrally controlling your whole house or apartment is fascinating. Häfele has taken the step into the digital future and offers solutions for the intelligent control of light – and more.

An app connects and centrally controls all installed light components and allows the design of light effects individually with a smartphone or tablet. In this way multiple scenarios can be saved and programmed, or simply retrieved with just by finger tip.

  • Switching lights on/off and dimming them, even multi-white lights and RGB LED strip lights.
  • Setting up individual light scenarios for different occasions.
  • Controlling electrical furniture components (for example, TV lift, electric sliding doors).

FREEDOM WITH A SYSTEM.

The Häfele Loox system offers more flexibility in planning and implementing customised lighting solutions. Combine different Loox lights to be operated with a single switching function. Special converters allow you to combine lights from the entire Loox range into a single light installation.

CHARGING WITH A SYSTEM.

Make use of the power of the light applications in furniture for other useful tasks as well. For example, the Häfele Loox system offers wireless charging stations and USB ports, which can be elegantly integrated into your furniture design as well. Mobile and tablet charging points add value to any piece of furniture because they offer additional convenience.

DISTRIBUTION WITH A SYSTEM.

Loox offers you many options for combining light in furniture. With easy-to-use distributor components, for example, you can control multiple light sources with a single driver.

SOUND WITH A SYSTEM.

Turn your furniture into a jukebox. The Häfele sound system makes it possible. Concealed sound transducers convert audio signals and deliver them through the furniture fronts and into the room. The music is transmitted from a smartphone or tablet to the sound system via Bluetooth. The sound experience is more than convincing. An effective added value to the Loox system.

EXTENSION WITH A SYSTEM.

In the Loox system, you will find simple concepts that will help you installing your light. For example, a simple solution to conveniently connect several lights in series to a single power source.

LIGHT ABOVE THE WALL UNIT.

Lighting above the wall unit ensures a pleasant ambience and perfectly complements the room light.

LIGHT IN CABINETS.

Illumination that allows you to see every inch in a wall unit cabinet or tall cabinet.

The main purpose of the room light on the ceiling is to serve as a basic light, which, by its nature, creates shadow zones behind the furniture front. Flat light or directional spotlights in cabinets illuminate the entire interior making organising, searching, and finding much easier.

LIGHT BEHIND GLASS.

When cabinets with glass doors are lit from the inside, well-placed light transforms dishes into decorative objects. Light behind glass shelves lends wall unit fronts transparency and lightness.

LIGHT ON WORK SURFACES.

Glare-free light, falling directly onto the worktop without shadows, is perfect for illuminating work surfaces. This will uniformly illuminate the work surface. Preferably with neutral, white light. For comfortable work and improved safety..

LIGHT IN DRAWERS.

Light integrated in drawers improves the view and offers more comfort, even with darkened room light. The light will automatically switch on and off when the drawers are opened and closed.

LIGHT IN THE PLINTH.

Plinth lighting can elegantly provide orientation in darkened rooms or emphasise the floor area with bright accents of the room when the room light is on.

DAYLIGHT.

When it comes to lighting a room, it is the combination and arrangement of multiple light sources that matters. If natural light (daylight) is available, artificial light can be a perfect addition. Depending on the purpose for the lighting plan of a room and specific areas, functional lighting is used. To create a specific ambiance decorative lighting is used.

DECORATIVE LIGHT.

To create an atmospheric ambience, the room light can also be used as indirect lighting in the furniture.

Decorative light provides less illumination and serves to create an appealing ambience. In order to achieve attractive mood light, the light source can be concealed invisibly in the furniture or visibly integrated into the design of the furniture. It is important that decorative light beams do not create brightly lit surfaces or produce sharp edges. RGB LED lights allows creating coloured lighting effects in the room.

FUNCTIONAL LIGHT.

For example, the lighting need in a home office can differ and depends on the location of the desk as well as the influx of daylight.

The decisive factor, however, is the activity performed. When work is done on computer or tablet a glare-free light source is required. Since the screen is the work surface, a backlight can be sufficient, reducing the contrast between the bright screen and the dark environment.

However, drawing or writing require a well lit work surface.
