Inside, its use is mainly indicated for bedrooms and living rooms (with pieces of indirect light). In the living room, for example, the wall light can be placed next to the coffee table, next to the sofa, to create a charming atmosphere.

A similar idea can be realized in the bedrooms, where these lamps can be placed together with the headboards.

In the case of kitchens and laundries, wall lights with diffused light directed towards the worktops are a good choice. In home offices, articulated luminaires are excellent choices to assist in everyday life.

For bathrooms and bathrooms, frontal or diffuse lighting, through lights above or next to mirrors, is a great alternative to help with personal hygiene or make-up tasks.

In the hallway, or in some special corner, the pieces can be positioned to create decorative lighting, to compose drawings on the walls, even installed in a repetitive form, further highlighting the entrance to the house.

Outdoor areas can also receive this type of luminaire, as long as they have a Protection Index higher than 65, which guarantees greater resistance to atmospheric agents.

So when the product has IP65 it means it is resistant to dust and splashing water, IP66 can receive water jets, while IP67 resists temporary immersion of the product. The appliques are also combined with the balconies, to compose a welcoming resting space; or on the garden walls to make the space more inviting at night.

As well as those with warmer color temperatures (2700K to 3000K), which promote coziness and comfort.

There are also models that provide indirect and diffused light, an effect that avoids glare, as well as bringing a lot of charm. As well as appliques with direct light effect (for studies or specific activities), or with torches, aesthetic pieces that make the environments more scenographic and with a contrasting atmosphere between lights and shadows.
