1. Choose your lighting

You have different wardrobe lighting options depending on your needs.

  • Cabinet lighting provides focused light to brighten shelves and the spaces around your wardrobe.
  • While fully integrated wardrobe LED strips with sensors and dimming offer a discreet solution that blends seamlessly into PAX, PLATSA, or LASTARE wardrobe frames while illuminating the interior.
  • Battery-operated lighting is a flexible option that is easy to install without wiring.

These solutions improve visibility inside your wardrobe and make it easier to see and choose clothes, even on dark mornings.
