Comprehensive lighting solutions for residential buildings
Lighting for living spaces
Quality of living starts with the right lighting
Light shapes the way we perceive and use spaces. It creates atmosphere, supports our daily lives and contributes significantly to people’s well-being. Well-designed lighting combines visual comfort, energy efficiency and harmonious integration into the architecture.
In residential buildings, it is important to balance different requirements. Whilst living and dining areas require a pleasant lighting ambience, functionality and wayfinding are the priority in kitchens and entrance areas. With the right lighting solution, living spaces are created that are both visually appealing and functionally effective.

Lighting for stairwells, basements and plant rooms
Safety and orientation in everyday life
Stairwells are among the most frequently used areas of a residential building. The quality standards of a property are also evident in basements and utility rooms.
Reliable lighting ensures wayfinding, enhances the sense of security and supports carefree use by residents, visitors and caretakers. At the same time, energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness play an important role. Modern lighting solutions enable operation tailored to specific needs, reduce energy consumption and minimise maintenance requirements. This results in sustainable solutions that meet the long-term requirements of modern residential buildings.

Lighting for car parks and multi-storey car parks
Safety and efficiency round the clock
Multi-storey car parks place particular demands on lighting. Good visibility aids navigation, improves road safety and contributes to a greater sense of security. Uniform illumination also improves the visibility of driveways, parking spaces and entrances.
Thanks to modern lighting control systems, lighting can be adjusted to suit requirements, significantly reducing energy consumption. Combined with long-lasting luminaires, they reduce energy and maintenance costs, thereby providing a cost-effective solution for new builds and refurbishments.

Emergency lighting
Safety lighting that complies with standards ensures that escape and rescue routes, exits and safety-critical areas remain clearly identifiable even in the event of a power cut. It makes it easier to find one’s way and helps to reduce risks in critical situations. With many years’ experience in the field of emergency lighting, Zumtobel supports designers, installers and operators in implementing solutions that comply with standards. Supplementary planning aids and technical documentation simplify the selection and positioning of suitable systems and ensure safety throughout a building’s entire life cycle.

Lighting for the building environment and architecture
Providing wayfinding and highlighting architecture
Outdoor lighting plays a key role in shaping the first impression of a property. It aids wayfinding along paths, at entrances and in communal areas, whilst also enhancing the sense of security in the evening and at night.
Furthermore, lighting can specifically highlight architectural elements and give a building a distinctive identity. Carefully planned lighting combines wayfinding and safety with a harmonious presentation of the architecture and the building’s surroundings.

Lighting designed with the night sky in mind
Light where it is needed
Light influences how we perceive buildings and their surroundings. It aids orientation, enhances safety and helps to ensure that outdoor spaces remain attractive and usable even after dark.
Responsibly planned outdoor lighting takes into account not only people’s needs but also the impact on the environment. Through targeted light control and the thoughtful use of lighting, comfort, safety and architectural impact can be combined with a considerate approach to the night sky.
