Lighting

Layer Strategy

Ambient, task, and accent layers are listed per room with exact fixture heights.

We avoid single ceiling roses that flatten Altbau mouldings.

Clamp lamps, adhesive-backed LED strips, and plug-in uplights dominate where drilling is restricted.

Cable routes follow skirting boards with colour-matched covers.

2700 K warm zones for evening seating; 3000 K for kitchen prep; never mixed within one sight line.

CRI minimum 90 for makeup and video call areas.

We map which switches control which zones so guests are not left hunting in dark hallways.

Smart bulbs are avoided when physical switches would orphan devices.

LED watt equivalents and annual euro estimates appear for landlord utility discussions.

Motion sensors appear only in storage closets, not living spaces.
