Reasonable choice of lamps and lighting bright life

How to rationally buy lamps?

living room. Lighting is the crowning touch in new home renovations. In general, the living room is suitable for the use of solemn, bright chandeliers or ceiling lamps. If the room is high, an incandescent chandelier or a larger circular chandelier is preferred, which makes the living room look transparent. However, it is not appropriate to use all the pendant lights with downward light distribution, but the upper space should also have a certain brightness in order to reduce the brightness difference between the upper and lower spaces. If the room is low, ceiling lamps can be used to add floor lamps, so that the living room looks bright and generous, with a sense of the times. The shape and color of the lamp should be coordinated with the furnishings of the living room.

study. The lighting of the study should be based on the principle of brightness and softness. Lamps with incandescent bulbs are more appropriate. Desk lamps should be adapted to the nature of work and learning needs, should use a reflective hood with a lower open direct table lamp, that is, work table lamp or desk lamp, table lamp light source commonly used incandescent, fluorescent. A small spotlight can be installed in the bookcase. This lighting not only helps identify the name of the book, but also maintains the temperature and prevents the books from being rotted.

bedroom. There should be more than one type of lamp in the bedroom. The ceiling lamp, table lamp, floor lamp, and bedside lamp should be able to be adjusted and mixed in order to create a warm and ambience. Wall lamps and floor lamps can be used instead of ceiling lamps in the center of the room. The diffuser shades with low surface brightness are suitable for the wall lamp, which will make the bedroom appear soft and comfortable for rest. It is also possible to install a hanging main light in a suitable position in the room and a wall light on the bedside. These lights should be controlled separately.

restaurant. The restaurant's dining table requires horizontal illumination, so it is advisable to use a lighting fixture that is directed downwards directly or pull down the lamp so that it will be pulled down to a height of 600 mm to 700 mm on the table. The position of the lamp is usually just above the table. The lampshade should be made of glass, plastic or metal material with a clean appearance so that it can be scrubbed at any time. Floor lamps can also be used for lighting. Warm wall lamps can also be arranged on the nearby walls. This will make the atmosphere more entertaining when guests are invited to dinner and increase appetite.

Kitchen, bathroom and aisle. The use of ceiling lamps is generally used in these places because of the low brightness of the lighting, the large amount of water vapor, and the large amount of dust. The use of ceiling lamps facilitates the cleaning and helps to protect the lamp. The lighting fixtures in the kitchen should be installed in a place where vapors and smoke can be avoided. Glass or enamel lampshades are suitable for scrubbing and corrosion resistance. In the washroom, bright and soft lamps should be used, and the lamps must have moisture-proof and rust-proof features.

Safety First Look at the quality when selecting lamps, check the warranty book, and whether the certificate is complete. The most expensive is not necessarily the best, but too cheap is certainly not good. The quality of many cheap lamps is not enough, but it is often hidden. In the event of a fire, the consequences are disastrous. So how to buy a safe lamp?

1. Pay attention to the attachment of the lamp: If the lamp is used in an electronic ballast, a lamp with an abnormally protected electronic ballast should be selected. If the lamp uses an inductive ballast, try to use a higher tw value (such as tw130), especially when the lamp cooling conditions are poor, it should pay attention to this point. Tw is the rated maximum operating temperature of the ballast coil. At this temperature, the ballast has a continuous life of 10 years.

2. Pay attention to the cross-sectional area of ​​the wire used in the luminaire: when purchasing, you can look at the marks printed on the insulating layer outside the wire on the luminaire, and specify that the minimum cross-sectional area of ​​the wire used on the luminaire is 0.5mm/square, and some manufacturers should reduce the cost. The cross-sectional area of ​​the conductor used in the product is only 0.2mm/square. In an abnormal state, the wire will be scorched and a short circuit will occur after the insulation layer burns out.

3. Pay attention to protection against electric shock. The electric shock caused by lamps and lanterns is generally caused by non-compliant lampholders or lamp live parts without cover and other protection measures against electric shock. It is normal that the bulb is screwed in when it is used. After the lamp is powered on, people must not touch the live parts.

Care for the overall situation in the second choice of lighting should pay attention to the same style. The color, shape and style of the lamps and lanterns must be commensurate with the interior decoration and the style of the furniture, echoing each other. Fancy lighting not only does not add icing on the cake, but it is superfluous. In addition to matching the color tone of the interior, the selection of the color of the lamp can of course be based on personal preference. In particular, the color of the lamp shade plays an important role in the atmosphere. The size, type, and size of the fixtures must be coordinated with the size of the living space, the total area, and the height of the room.

In addition, due to the continuous emergence of lighting styles, before you buy lighting, you have better understand the development trend of modern lighting, so as not to buy back the lighting will be eliminated. And, from the perspective of power saving, more energy-saving light sources can be installed.

When buying lamps, you must also carefully inspect the goods. Lighting mainly glass products, belonging to fragile goods, after long-distance transportation, it will inevitably be scratched or damaged. Since lighting is generally hung in a prominent position in the home, even minor damage can affect its use.

In the end, lighting expenditures generally account for about 10% of the total renovation expenditure. Therefore, what kind of lighting to buy depends on their own economic conditions to decide, do it.

In addition to the above three major shopping skills, the owners also need to consider different ages of cloth lighting requirements when purchasing, because different ages have different standards for lighting needs:

Young people - young people should highlight new, extraordinary and special lighting. The main lights should demonstrate individuality, with creative shapes and vivid colors. Wall lamp in the shape of the requirements of love as the theme, the light source requires warmth, romance, middle-aged people - the middle-aged people are the dominant family, but also the cause of the pillars, the style of decoration, color, strive to be simple and neat. The cloth lamp must not only reflect individuality, but also reflect the style of the main body, such as using a swing arm-type desk lamp or floor lamp to facilitate learning.

The elderly - the elderly living with simple, quiet love, the color of the lamps used, modeling, to set off the elegant style of the elderly. The main light unit can be combined with a lantern-shaped chandelier or ceiling lamp. In order to facilitate the elderly to start the night, a low-light long lamp can be set up on the bedside.
