From warm to bright: how to pick the right light (in Kelvin) for every moment

As the days get shorter, your rhythm shifts naturally.
You close the curtains a little earlier. Light a candle sooner. You move less, stay inside more.
And suddenly you realize: light plays a bigger role than you thought.

It’s not just where you hang your light, but also what kind of light it gives off that shapes how a space feels.
And it all starts with the color temperature of your bulb, measured in Kelvin.

Warm light for soft autumn evenings – 2500K & 2700K

You feel it the moment you walk in.
You put off your coat, it’s already getting dark, and without thinking, you flip on a light.
But the light that comes on? That’s what shapes how you feel.

In autumn, the light softens.
You’re not looking for something bright and functional you want warmth.
A glow that helps you unwind.

Bulbs around 2500 to 2700 Kelvin do exactly that: they cast a warm, almost candle-like atmosphere.
Not orange, not yellow just that gentle glow that calms the room. Your eyes will relax and your body follows.

Perfect for the living room after a long day. Or next to your bed, where you read a few pages before diving under the covers.
This is light that doesn’t just fill the space, it embraces it.

Especially in fall — when life naturally slows down a little — these are the tones that truly make your house feel like home.

The light that brings it all together – 3500K

The dining table changes in autumn.
In the morning, it’s where you sip your first coffee in the early light.
By afternoon, someone might be working there, laptop open, books spread out.
And in the evening? It becomes the place to eat, catch up, or play board games late into the night.

Here, you need light that can do it all.
Warm enough for atmosphere, bright enough to see clearly.
Not candlelight but still cozy.

3500 Kelvin is exactly that: light that opens up the space without taking over.
You see what you need to see, but the softness stays.

And if you turn the table a quarter to make things feel right (or to make room for guests)? Your light moves with it thanks to Lightswing®.

The result: a place where the day can begin and end.

Light that keeps you sharp where you need it – 4500K

Some spaces ask something different from you. Not calm, but clarity. Not atmosphere, but visibility.
Early in the morning, in the bathroom, when you are getting ready while it’s still dark outside.
In the kitchen, where you’re chopping, cooking, or cleaning or at your desk, where your mind needs to stay sharp, even when it’s grey outside.

4500 Kelvin is clear. No-nonsense.
It’s the kind of light that helps you focus, keeps you alert, and shows every detail.

And while it may not be the warmest, that’s exactly what makes it feel calming
because it helps you keep going.

It does exactly what you need:
Keeps your vision clear, your head focused, and your workflow steady.
Just light that helps you stay sharp where getting things done is the goal.

The right light at the right place

Autumn calls for lighting that matches the moment.
Soft where you unwind, bright where you need to focus.
With the right bulb and the right position, your home instantly feels better.

Find the Lightswing® that fits your space

A new season, let’s make your home fall ready!

As the seasons change, so do we.
We slow down a little. Spend more time indoors.
We start to enjoy the comfort of home again.
Not just as a place to sleep, but as a space to really live in.

Fall doesn’t ask for a big makeover. Just a few small changes that make things feel softer, warmer, more relaxed.

In this blog, you’ll find simple ways to bring the feeling of fall into your home with cozy lighting, warm details, and small changes that make a big difference.
We will show you how easy it is to let your space shift along the season with your Lightswing®.

There’s a shift in the air

You notice it in the way the light shifts during the day.
In the way the wind sounds against the windows. Autumn doesn’t ask for big changes. You might switch out some lighter fabrics for something with more weight. Add a warm blanket to the couch. To light a candle before dinner and to stay seated a little longer after the meal is done.

Autumn let’s your evenings start earlier, with softer light and slower plans.

Lighting sets the tone

As the season changes, so does the way we use our spaces.
Your kitchen table becomes the spot for longer meals. That unused corner turns into a favorite reading nook. And the places you want light… move.

This is where Lightswing® comes in.
Your pendant light shifts with your rhythm. You can shift your light source as easily as you shift your layout. One day, it’s above the table. The next above the spot where you sip your tea, wrapped in a blanket and reading a book.

No tools. No drilling. Just one simple solution. Slide your pendant across the ceiling, or rotate it 360° to match your setup.
With Lightswing®, your light fits your space not the other way around.

How to bring fall in to your home

Fall styling doesn’t need to be loud or themed.
A few well-placed changes are enough to transform the atmosphere:

• Add soft textures, a wool blanket, velvet cushions, a thicker rug.
• Bring in warm, earthy tones like rust, mustard, forest green, and deep neutrals.
• Use dried flowers or branches in simple vases to bring nature indoors.
• Swap cooler lightbulbs for warmer tones, or use dimmable bulbs for a layered effect.

These little shifts don’t just change how a room looks they change how it feels to be in it.

Fall feels like home

You don’t need bold changes.
Just a few thoughtful ones. Light that falls where you need it. Spaces that feel slower, softer, more yours.

This season is about creating calm.
And when your home gently adapts with you, it becomes the kind of space you want to stay in especially when the world outside feels a little colder.

From frustration to freedom: The story behind Lightswing®

Sometimes, innovation begins with a small frustration.
In 2014, founder and engineer Paul Constandse had just moved into a new home with his wife. While rearranging their dining table for yet another time, one issue kept returning: the ceiling light point was fixed, but the lamp was no longer hanging in the right place.

“There just had to be a better solution,” Paul recalls.
“And I knew I wasn’t the only one facing this problem.”

At that kitchen table, Paul began sketching. What started as a simple drawing turned into a design journey of testing, refining, and prototyping. The result was Lightswing®: a user-friendly and innovative suspension system created to solve a clear everyday need. No drilling, no moving ceiling points just a clever rail that lets your pendant lamp slide up to its full length and rotate 360° with ease. This effortless flexibility brings true freedom and timeless elegance into any interior. Exactly what consumers were waiting for and what they still value today.

From one idea to a complete collection

The first product to launch was the Lightswing® Single, a sleek rail that gives one pendant lamp the ability to move, adapt, and shine where you need it most. Its slim profile and timeless finish made it a favourite for interior enthusiasts looking for both flexibility and style.

Soon after, the Lightswing® Twin followed, designed for two pendant lamps, often used above dining tables or kitchen islands. It offers balance, symmetry, and atmosphere, all while keeping the freedom to move the light point as layouts change.

After that we discovered that some interiors call for something different. While the Single and Twin are ideal for one or two pendant lamps, the Lightswing® Zero is specially designed for linear lamps, ceiling bars, or 3-light pendants. An elegant and smart solution that makes hanging these lamps easier and more stylish.

And then came a milestone: our very first collaboration.

The Lightswing® Pendant Light Novo represents a new chapter in our story. Designed in collaboration with Dutch design studio Van Tjalle & Jasper and made in the Netherlands, the Novo combines Dutch Design with innovative flexibility. With its refined smoked-glass shade and elegant silhouette, it integrates effortlessly with the Lightswing® system. And even on its own, it’s a statement piece that brings timeless atmosphere to any room.

From the Single to the Twin, the Zero, and now the Novo, each step in our journey reflects the same philosophy: lighting that adapts to your life, not the other way around.

Your Lightswing®, summer ready

Summer vibes inside? Here’s how to do it with Lightswing®.

As soon as the sun starts shining, you feel it. The doors swing open, the table moves toward the light, and suddenly you want to shake up your entire interior. Sound familiar?

That’s when your lighting should move with you.

Lights off, atmosphere on

Summer evenings are long. Your light might stay off more often, but it still deserves a great spot.

A pendant above your table does more than light the room. It sets the mood. Choose a bold and beautiful design like rattan, linen or glass and hang it just slightly off-center. It adds a light and playful touch.

With Lightswing®, your pendant hangs exactly where you want it. Even when it doesn’t need to be on.

Flexible is the new stylish

Summer means change. More people at the table. A shifted layout. A new setup for that one garden party.

With Lightswing®, your lamp moves right along with you. No tools, no drilling. Just one smooth move from practical to perfect.

Turn your pendant into a summer showpiece

No light needed? Turn it into a style statement.

Let your pendant stand out, even when it’s off. Think natural materials and style it with summer touches on the table, like a linen runner or a vase of wildflowers. That way, your pendant stays part of the whole picture.

Small change, big impact

Sometimes all it takes is one simple change to freshen up your space. A new shade. A different position. Or just a little more air and light in the room.

Soon we’ll show you how others are doing just that. In our new video, you’ll see before and after transformations that just might inspire your own.

Lightswing® Zero: designed to turn your style around

At Lightswing®, we believe great design starts with listening—and the story of the Lightswing Zero is no exception. Inspired by real customer requests, this innovative suspension system was born out of a simple but pressing question: “Do you have a solution for turning pendant lights with multiple lamps?”

For many of our customers, adjusting the direction of their type of pendant light seemed impossible. Pendant lights with bar lighting or a bracket for multiple lamps aren’t suitable for Lightswing® Single or Twin. They didn’t necessarily want the flexibility of sliding their light, as seen in our Single and Twin. Instead, they needed a sleek, stylish way to rotate their lights to fit their evolving interiors.

How to Check if Your Lamp is Suitable for the Lightswing® Zero?

Check whether your pendant lamp’s bracket fits the Lightswing® Zero. Does the bracket of your lamp align with the holes of the sliding nuts?

YES: Your lamp is suitable for the Lightswing® Zero, and you can hang it up directly.

NO: Mark the outer position of the sliding nuts on the bracket and drill the holes using the provided drill bit. If this is not possible, unfortunately, your lamp is not compatible with the Lightswing® Zero.
