Technically speaking, the term lamp refers to the actual illuminant, e.g. incandescent lamps, halogen lamps, fluorescent lamps or LEDs, as opposed to light fixtures such as ceiling lights, wall lights, downlights or recessed spotlights.

Of course, the light fixtures offered have very different light effects and distributions. Light fixtures with direct light emission, often ceiling lights or spotlights with visible illuminants, can be used for the direct (accentuated) illumination of objects. Other light fixtures, such as wall lights or torchieres, emit light indirectly, their illuminants are either not visible at all or only diffusely through a glass shade and the light is reflected from wall or ceiling into the room. This kind of light is regarded as very soft, but prevents the precise perception of contours. In yet another kind of light fixtures the lamps are covered by a glass pane or grid, so that one cannot see inside directly and the light emission is directed (reduced glare) i.e. in grid lights. This is especially important in office lighting. For more information take a look at the note in the service section.

The effect of ceiling lights and light fixtures in general depends to a great extend on the kind of lamp they are equipped with. Dependent on the choice of lamp or illuminant is of course the power consumption. For some lamps you can choose from various light colours such as warm white, cool white or one similar to daylight. This is especially true for fluorescent lamps, halogen lamps, discharge lamps, compact fluorescent lamps (energy-saving lamps with various bases) and LED lamps.&nbsp;Another important term is colour rendering, which is classified in the so called Ra Index. The higher the index value of a lamp, the more natural the colours of objects or of the surrounding area appear.
