Generally speaking, it is advisable to choose a solemn and bright chandelier or ceiling lamp in the living room. If the room is high, it is advisable to use incandescent chandeliers or large circular chandeliers to make the living room appear transparent, but it is not advisable to use chandeliers with full downward light distribution, and the upper space should also have a certain brightness to narrow the brightness difference between the upper and lower spaces. If the room is low, you can use ceiling lamps and floor lamps to make the living room look bright and generous and contemporary. The shape and color of lamps should be coordinated with the furniture in the living room.
The study lighting should be bright and soft, and incandescent lamps are more suitable. The desk lamp should adapt to the nature of work and learning needs. It is advisable to choose a direct desk lamp with a reflector and a low opening, that is, a working desk lamp or a writing desk lamp. The light sources of desk lamps are usually incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps. A small spotlight can be installed in the bookcase, which can not only help identify the title of the book, but also keep warm and prevent books from being damp and rotting.
There should be several kinds of lamps in the bedroom, such as ceiling lamp, desk lamp, floor lamp and bedside lamp, which should be adjusted and matched at will to create a warm atmosphere. Wall lamps and floor lamps can be used instead of indoor central ceiling lamps. The wall lamp should be made of diffuse material with low surface brightness, which can make the bedroom look soft and conducive to rest; It is also possible to install a suspended main light at a proper position in the room and a wall lamp at the bedside, and these lights should be controlled separately.
The dining table in a restaurant requires horizontal lighting, so it is advisable to choose a lamp with strong downward direct light or a pull-down lamp, so that the height of the lamp is 600mm ~ 700mm above the table, and the position of the lamp is generally directly above the table. The lampshade should be made of glass, plastic or metal, with a smooth appearance so as to be scrubbed at any time. You can also use floor lamps for lighting, and properly configure warm wall lamps on nearby walls, which will make the atmosphere more warm and stimulate appetite when entertaining guests.
Ceiling lamps are generally used in kitchens, bathrooms and corridors, because the lighting brightness in these places is not great, and there is a lot of water vapor and dust. The ceiling lamp is easy to clean and is beneficial to protect the light bulb. The lamps and lanterns in the kitchen should be installed in a place that can avoid steam and smoke, and glass or enamel lampshades should be used to facilitate scrubbing and corrosion prevention. The bathroom should use bright and soft lamps, which should be moisture-proof and not easy to rust.
Choose a skill
In the process of selecting lamps, we must understand the following prerequisites:
The first is safety. When choosing lamps and lanterns, don't be greedy for petty gain, look at their quality first, and check whether the warranty and certificate are complete. The most expensive is not necessarily the best, and too cheap is definitely not good. Many cheap lamps are of poor quality and often have endless hidden dangers. Once a fire breaks out, the consequences are unimaginable.
Secondly, we should pay attention to the same style in the choice of lighting. The color, shape and style of lamps and lanterns must be commensurate with the style of interior decoration and furniture and echo each other. Flashy lights can't be icing on the cake, they can only gild the lily. In the choice of lamps and lanterns color, in addition to matching the indoor tone, of course, you can also choose according to your personal preferences. In particular, the color of the lampshade has a great influence on the atmosphere. The size, type and quantity of lamps and lanterns should be coordinated with the space size, total area and indoor height of the room.
In addition, due to the endless variety of lamp styles, it is best to understand the development trend of lighting before buying, so as to avoid the bad luck of being eliminated after buying. From the perspective of saving electricity, more energy-saving light sources can be installed.
When buying lamps, you should also carefully inspect the goods. Lighting is mainly glass products, which are fragile. Scratches or damage will inevitably occur after long-distance transportation. Because lighting is usually hung in a conspicuous position at home, even minor damage will affect the use effect.
Finally, the lighting expenditure generally accounts for about 10% of the whole decoration expenditure. So what kind of lamps to buy should be decided according to your own economic situation.
Prevention of light pollution
Some families like to install lights of various colors and styles in their rooms when decorating. As we all know, colorful lights not only do great harm to people's vision, but also interfere with the functions of higher nerves in the brain center.
In the study, you must choose a lamp with stable brightness. Compared with natural light, the light emitted by ordinary light bulbs is obviously red, which reduces the resolution of human eyes, so if you want to see the fonts on the book, you must put your eyes very close. Although the light emitted by ordinary fluorescent lamps is white, the brightness of fluorescent lamps will change constantly because it is directly lit by 50 Hz alternating current, which is the stroboscopic phenomenon of fluorescent lamps. Studying under the flashing fluorescent lamp for a long time will make your eyes tired.
Now there is a new type of eye protection lamp, which is a strobe-free fluorescent lamp developed from the lighting source of color LCD. It can emit white light with stable brightness and no flicker, which is very similar to natural light and meets the requirements of reading under the lamp in the growing stage of primary and secondary schools. It is an ideal light source.
Tips for installing lights
When installing lamps and lanterns, it can save a lot of trouble if you install the sub-control switch. Because if there is only one master switch and several lights are turned on and off at the same time, you can't choose the brightness of the lights, and it will also waste electricity. By installing a sub-control switch, you can choose how many lights to turn on at any time according to your own needs. If there is an aisle in front of your house, it's best to install a switch at the end of the aisle, so that you can turn off the power directly after entering the door without going back to the door to turn off the lights.
Six principles of selecting lamps and lanterns
Simple lighting principle should play the role of finishing touch in the room. Too complicated shapes and colors are not suitable for rooms with simple design.
The principle of convenience Most people have experienced the embarrassment of changing the ceiling light bulb: standing on a table, standing on a chair, with their heads at 90 degrees and their arms raised to the ceiling 2.5 meters high or higher. When choosing lamps, we must consider the convenience of replacing bulbs. ? Energy-saving principle Energy-saving bulb saves electricity, has good illumination, does not emit too much heat, and is suitable for multi-headlights. Energy-saving bulbs are mostly standard screws, and chandeliers have two calibers. One is standard, you can use energy-saving light bulbs. One is non-standard, and energy-saving light bulbs cannot be used. Attention should be paid when choosing: spotlights are mostly non-energy-saving products.
Safety principle must choose lamps from regular manufacturers. Ordinary products are marked with the total load. According to the total load, how many watts can be used for light bulbs, especially for multi-head chandeliers, that is, the number of heads × the wattage of each light bulb = the total load. In addition, waterproof lamps should be used in bathrooms and kitchens with high humidity.
Functional principles Rooms with different functions should be equipped with different styles and lighting. The living room should use bright and rich lamps; The bedroom should choose the lamp that makes people lie on the bed unconsciously; Children's rooms should use colorful lamps; Waterproof lamps with simple style should be used in the bathroom; The kitchen should choose lamps that are easy to wipe and clean; Some places that need special performance can also choose to shoot lights.
The principle of coordination lighting should be coordinated with the overall style of the room, and all kinds of lamps in the same room should be coordinated in color or style. Such as wooden walls, wooden cabinets, rectangular balconies with wooden roofs, suitable for installing rectangular wooden lamps; The rectangular hall is equipped with wrought iron watches and iron tube glass dining tables and chairs, which is suitable for installing rectangular iron tube chandeliers; Golden cabinet door handle, bedroom with golden spotlights, suitable for lamps decorated with gold.
