Like many families looking to make the most of extra room in their homes, the Binger’s use their basement as a multi-functional family room. It has become a playroom for their two young children, an office space for Mr. Binger and an exercise room. Mrs. Binger also teaches her children how to The Schafranek Family,– dance down there Berlin, Germany

and would love to be able to run small dance classes in the future.

See what light did for the Schafraneks Warming up the heart of a home with Philips LED lighting Andre and Anja Schafranek live in a spacious, old high-ceilinged apartment in Berlin with their two young children, Lasse and Lea. They spend a great deal of time in their large open-plan kitchen, dining and living room, which has become the center of their family home. Both parents love to cook in the kitchen while watching their children play in the main living space and Anja likes to relax and doze off with 1-year-old Lea whenever the opportunity arises. Light has become a huge issue for the family. Their kitchen is currently very poorly lit while their living room has either too little light in key areas or too much bright, cold light. A lightover would help them create the relaxed, cozy ambience they’d like to have in the heart of their family home.

The problem • Not enough warm or flexible light to create the cozy atmosphere they want • No possibility to dim the existing light in the living room and no comfortable reading light • No dedicated lighting in the kitchen for preparing food and cooking

Our solution • Mix ambient and functional lighting to provide warmer, more flexible light • Add a dimmable lamp in the living room that also provides the right light for reading • Provide dedicated task lighting to help them function more easily in the kitchen
