that they will automatically turn on when your phone is nearby. It’s just like a puppy welcoming you home!” Mol says.

Ceiling lights DALEN focuses on one light in particular: their high quality ceiling lamp. “This lamp is suitable for many residential areas like living  rooms,  bedrooms,  dining  rooms, reading rooms and more. It is especially suitable for lighting projects such as villas,  apartments  and  hotel  rooms,”  explains  Mol.  LED  lights  used  to  be  famous  for  their  cold  colours,  which  did not make them very popular for for lighting  a  place  with  a  cosy  atmosphere.
