Indirect lighting creates an unobtrusive and peaceful atmosphere in the sauna. The light can be positioned at the edge of the ceiling, behind the benches or the backrest, so that it is softly reflected from the surfaces of the sauna into the room. Indirect light enhances the beauty of the surfaces and helps to create a coherent and harmonious whole.

Sauna bench lighting combines practicality and ambience. The light can be placed at the front edge of the benches, under the benches or behind the backrest. Placed under the benches, sauna lighting improves visibility and safety and provides a soft and atmospheric light. Steady light creates a calm atmosphere, dotted spots add nuance and a variety of effects can be used to create a magical sense of movement. Coloured options are suitable for some locations.

Dark surfaces "absorb" light - that's why lighting in a dark sauna needs to be particularly carefully designed. More efficient and, if necessary, dimmable luminaires ensure good visibility without compromising the ambience. Indirect lighting helps to soften contrasts, and well-placed light brings out details without glare.

In a small sauna, the role of lighting is highlighted. Soft and well-directed light can open up the space and improve the atmosphere considerably. Indirect lighting placed along the ceiling or behind the benches can emphasise shapes and help to define the space. However, the amount of light needed depends on the surface materials of the sauna. In a light-coloured sauna, moderate lighting is often sufficient, while dark shades "absorb" light and may require more powerful luminaires.
