Indirect lighting brings soft, glare-free illumination to a space, creating a modern and refined look. It highlights architectural details and creates a calm, harmonious atmosphere where light blends naturally into its surroundings. Versatile lighting solutions offer possibilities for a wide range of indoor spaces, spa environments, saunas and outdoor areas.
Indirect lighting brings soft ambient and general illumination to indoor spaces, adding a modern, refined touch to the interior. Light can be integrated along ceiling edges, into wall structures, behind furniture, along staircases or at floor level, keeping the light source discreet while allowing light to reflect softly off surrounding surfaces. Indirect lighting can highlight interior details, add depth to a space and create continuous lines of light along both straight and curved structures.
Indirect lighting brings soft illumination and a refined atmosphere to bathrooms, shower areas and spa environments. Light can be integrated along ceiling edges, into wall recesses or behind mirrors and other furnishings. Light reflecting off surrounding surfaces highlights materials and details without harsh glare. Adjustable brightness and colour temperature allow the atmosphere to be tailored to different needs, from everyday activities to moments of relaxation.
The colour temperature of light has a significant impact on how a space looks and feels. Warm 2200K light resembles the soft glow of candlelight, creating a particularly cosy and inviting atmosphere. 3000K provides pleasantly warm and natural illumination, while 4000K offers a fresher, clearer light ideal for general lighting. The same space can take on a completely different look simply by changing the colour temperature of the light.
Lighting solutions differ in colour temperature, flexibility and suitability for different environments. The table below provides an overview of the key features of the Huuhto Easy and Ultra Ambient collections. More detailed technical specifications can be found on each product's individual product page.

| Adjustable colour temperature | No | No | Yes | No |
| Flexibility | Straight lines | Straight and curved | Straight and curved | Straight and curved |
| IP rating | IP44 | IP67 | IP67 | IP67 |
| Operating temperature range | Not specified | −40…+125 °C | −40…+125 °C | −40…+125 °C |
In indirect lighting, light is directed onto walls, ceilings or other surfaces rather than shining directly into the space. This creates soft, even and glare-free illumination that highlights architectural details and creates a pleasant atmosphere.
Huuhto Easy is a rigid LED profile designed particularly for creating straight lines of light in indoor spaces. Ultra Ambient is a flexible LED strip that can also be used to create curved shapes. Ultra Ambient's wide operating temperature range (–40 to +125 °C) makes it suitable for more demanding environments.
The Ultra Ambient collection includes three options: White, Tunable White and RGBW. Ultra Ambient White produces warm white light (2700K), while Tunable White allows the colour temperature to be adjusted from a warm 2200K to a more neutral 4000K. The RGBW model combines white light (2700K) with a range of colours, offering versatile possibilities for creating different lighting atmospheres.
All Ultra Ambient models are available in Top and Side versions, which differ in the width of the illuminated surface and the direction of the light.
Yes, all Huuhto Easy and Ultra Ambient lighting solutions are dimmable when used with separately installed, compatible control devices. Dimming allows you to adjust the brightness and ambiance without changing the colour temperature of the light. For more detailed information, please refer to the individual product pages.
Choosing the right indirect lighting solution depends on the purpose of the space, the desired atmosphere and how the lighting will be installed. Consider factors such as colour temperature, brightness, the possibility of coloured lighting and whether you want to adjust the lighting for different situations. The shape of the light line and the conditions of the installation environment also play an important role in selecting the most suitable solution.
Outdoor lighting must withstand varying weather conditions and temperatures. Indirect lighting can be used to highlight architectural features and façade surfaces, illuminate stairs and pathways, and bring soft ambient light to terraces and other outdoor living areas. Discreetly integrated into structures, indirect lighting adds a refined finishing touch to outdoor spaces and creates a welcoming atmosphere after dark.
High temperatures, humidity and temperature fluctuations place special demands on sauna lighting. With the right lighting solutions, it is possible to create soft, glare-free illumination that highlights the beauty of wooden surfaces and enhances the relaxing sauna atmosphere. Indirect lighting can be installed beneath the benches, behind the backrests or along the ceiling edges, allowing light to reflect gently off surrounding surfaces and blend naturally into the sauna interior. Indirect lighting can also be incorporated into the sauna through backlit details, such as wall lights and temperature and humidity gauges.
In indirect sauna lighting, light is reflected off walls, ceilings or other surfaces rather than coming directly from a visible light source. Lighting can be installed beneath the benches, behind the backrests or along the ceiling edges. This creates soft, glare-free illumination that highlights the beauty of wooden surfaces and enhances the calm, relaxing sauna atmosphere.
Sauna Ultra Ambient is a flexible LED strip that can be integrated into various sauna structures, including along ceiling edges. Sauna Linear, on the other hand, provides smooth, uniform illumination beneath the benches or behind the backrests but is not suitable for ceiling installations. Sauna Linear Glass Set is a fibre optic lighting solution that is also suitable for installation in sauna ceilings.
The Sauna Ultra Ambient collection includes three options: White, Tunable White and RGBW. Sauna Ultra Ambient White produces warm white light (2700K), while Tunable White allows the colour temperature to be adjusted from a warm 2200K to a more neutral 4000K. The RGBW model combines white light (2700K) with a range of colours, offering versatile possibilities for creating different lighting atmospheres.
All Sauna Ultra Ambient models are available in Top and Side versions, which differ in the width of the illuminated surface and the direction of the light.
The Sauna Linear collection includes three options. Sauna Linear creates smooth, uniform illumination beneath the benches or behind the backrests. Sauna Linear with heater fibre also includes a separate fibre optic light that illuminates the sauna heater stones from above. Sauna Linear Glass Set uses glass fibre optics and is also suitable for installation in sauna ceilings.
Indirect sauna lighting can generally be dimmed, but the available options depend on the chosen lighting solution and compatible control devices. Dimming allows you to adjust the brightness and create different atmospheres. It does not change the colour temperature of the light, only its intensity. For more detailed information on dimming options and requirements, please refer to the individual product specifications.
Choosing the right sauna lighting solution depends particularly on where the lighting will be installed, the desired atmosphere, the colour of the light and the flexibility of the lighting. Both Sauna Ultra Ambient and Sauna Linear can be used to create smooth, continuous lines of light beneath the benches or behind the backrests. Sauna Ultra Ambient and Sauna Linear Glass Set are also suitable for ceiling installations.
Indirect lighting can create atmosphere, highlight architectural details and add a refined finishing touch to a space. If you need help choosing the right lighting solution, we’ll be happy to help you find the most suitable option for your project.
