Dressing Room & Closet Light Fixtures
Knowing which lamps are suitable for lighting a dressing room or wardrobe is essential to create a much more functional and welcoming space. For the dressing room, it is best to incorporate a uniform, shadow-free general light with a neutral temperature (4000K) and a high CRI (80–100) to perceive clothing colors as accurately as possible. Recessed or surface-mounted LED ceiling lights are an excellent option, offering modern ambient lighting suitable for all styles. Another great choice is track spotlights, which allow you to direct the light in different directions. For the inside of wardrobes, it’s better to opt for integrated LED lights or strips with motion sensors that automatically turn on when the doors are opened. Combine both types of lighting to create a well-lit, organized, and stylish dressing area.

What wattage or lumens do I need for a dressing room or wardrobe?
It is very important to know the size of the space or furniture you are lighting. If it is a small dressing room or a single wardrobe, around 200-300 lumens per square meter will be enough, while a larger dressing room will need between 500 and 800 lumens/m².
What light color is recommended for viewing clothes?
For home use, we recommend a light color between 3,500K and 4,000K, as it not only allows you to see colors accurately but also creates a cozy atmosphere. If you want a more professional setup and need colors to appear as precise as possible, go for neutral or white light at around 5,000K with a high CRI (80–100). Avoid very warm lights (below 3,000K), as they make it harder to distinguish tones properly.
Can lights be installed inside wardrobes without renovation work?
Yes, there are many options that don’t require wiring or remodeling, such as adhesive or rechargeable LED strips with USB connection, or motion-sensor lamps powered by batteries. They are easy to install — many can simply be stuck directly onto the surface.
How can lights be integrated without visible cables?
Cables are usually hidden under aluminum profiles or behind the furniture itself. There are also recessed LED strips designed to be built into the furniture, helping to maintain a cleaner and more discreet look. Another option, especially for smaller wardrobes, is battery-powered or rechargeable lamps that attach with adhesive and require no wiring at all.
