Hexagonal Lights

Hexagonal lights: honeycomb geometry to dress the ceiling

Hexagonal lights are chosen as much for the light they give as for the shape they draw on the ceiling. The hexagon tessellates with itself, so combining several pieces produces the honeycomb effect that has made these hexagonal LED ceiling lights a common choice in barbershops, gyms, retail premises and waiting areas. At FactorLED we work with two references: one surface mounted and one pendant.

Two hexagonal pieces, two ways of resolving a ceiling

The two references share the geometry, but they are installed and perceived differently:

• ARTISTIC Honeycomb Hexagonal LED Light, 120 cm: a hexagonal surface-mounted panel. It sits tight against the ceiling and defines the shape without hanging volume.
• POLARIS Hexagonal LED Pendant Light, 152 cm: it hangs from the ceiling and adds 3 selectable colour temperatures (3CCT), so the same hexagon can give a warmer or a more neutral light.

The choice depends on the height available: the surface panel works when the ceiling leaves no room to spare, and the hexagonal pendant light makes the most of high ceilings so the shape is seen whole from below.

The honeycomb effect in high ceilings and premises with character

A single hexagon is already a recognisable decorative element. Combine several pieces and the sides line up, so the ceiling reads as a honeycomb grid: a pattern that brings order to the space and adds character with no mouldings or suspended ceilings. In high ceilings the shape is appreciated from any point in the room and the light comes down spread across several geometric sources.

Hexagonal lights for barbershops

In a barbershop the ceiling is part of the brand. Hexagonal barbershop lights sit well with the industrial register of these places —black, metal, wood, mirror— and bring a strong shape above the chairs, which is where the customer spends time looking around. The pendant format also brings the light down towards the work position, and choosing the colour temperature tunes the tone so the cut is seen naturally.

Hexagonal lights for gyms

In a gym or training box, hexagonal gym lights solve two things: they cover wide areas with several pieces spread out and they give the ceiling the graphic feel a customer associates with a modern centre. They work well over open areas, free-weight platforms or class studios, where spread light and a ceiling with visual energy are what you want.

Other spaces where they work

• Retail premises and showrooms after a ceiling with an identity.
• Receptions and waiting areas, as a welcoming element.
• Hospitality with high ceilings, over bars and table areas.

How to choose your hexagonal light

Start with the ceiling height: with room to spare, the 152 cm pendant shows better and brings the light closer to the working plane; without it, the 120 cm surface panel is the sensible option. Then decide whether you need to change the colour temperature according to how the premises are used, because only the pendant offers 3CCT. And think about the composition: one leading piece or several forming a honeycomb.

Give your ceiling a shape people remember. Choose your hexagonal light at FactorLED and build the composition that suits your premises.

Frequently asked questions

Which hexagonal lights are available?

Two: the ARTISTIC Honeycomb Hexagonal, 120 cm and surface mounted, and the POLARIS Hexagonal Pendant, 152 cm and with 3 selectable colour temperatures.

Can several be combined into a honeycomb?

Yes, that is the most common use: several pieces spread across the ceiling draw the honeycomb grid. The number of units depends on the area and on the spread of light you are after.

What is the difference between the surface model and the pendant?

The surface panel is installed tight against the ceiling and takes up no height; the pendant hangs, is better appreciated in high ceilings and lets you choose between 3 colour temperatures.

Are they suitable for a barbershop or a gym?

Those are two of their most frequent uses: in a barbershop they bring a powerful shape above the chairs and in a gym they spread the light across wide areas with a ceiling that has a graphic feel.
