The lighting is the most attractive flirt in the room. Different styles, colors, materials and sizes can create different light and shadow effects for different living rooms, showing different room expressions. Nowadays, in the face of the numerous lamps and lanterns on the market, do you feel a bit dazzling? In fact, when purchasing lamps, you should mainly consider the following three aspects:

First, you should choose the style of the fixture according to your actual needs and personal preferences. For example, if you pay attention to the practicality of the lamp, you should choose a black or dark red ceiling-mounted ceiling lamp or floor lamp. If you pay attention to the decoration and pursue the modern style, you can choose the lively lighting. If you are a fan that loves national characteristics, you can choose a sculpture floor lamp.

Second, the color of the luminaire should be in harmony with the home's environmental decoration style. The layout of the room lighting must take into account the style of the interior furniture, the color of the wall, and the color of the household appliances. Otherwise, the lighting and the overall color of the living room are inconsistent, but it will be self-defeating. For example, if the color of the interior wallpaper is light, you should use a warm-colored incandescent lamp as the light source to create a bright and soft light environment.

Finally, the size of the luminaire should be configured in combination with the size of the room, the amount of furniture and the corresponding size. For small living rooms of less than 12 square meters, ceiling lamps or wall lamps with a diameter of 200 mm or less should be used. The number and size of the lamps should be suitable to avoid overcrowding. In the living room of about 15 square meters, ceiling lamps with a diameter of about 300 mm or multi-forked chandeliers should be used. The diameter of the lamps should not exceed 400 mm. It is better to put on spotlights or wall lamps on both sides of the murals.

In the home life, according to different functions, the lamps can be divided into architectural lamps and decorative lamps. According to reports, architectural lighting is to be combined with the building structure, such as downlights, wall lights, ceiling lamps, downlights, etc. Although these lamps have a variety of styles, but the functionality is relatively simple, therefore, before the home decoration To fully consider the actual functional effects of each luminaire after renovation, do not pay too much attention to style and ignore practicality.

Decorative lighting is relatively casual in its selection. At present, there are a lot of decorative lamps on the market, and the styles are complete. When home decoration, different families can match according to their own decoration style. For example, many families like crystal lamps, Japanese style lamps and American style lamps. In addition, there are some special styling lamps to choose from. From the perspective of lighting effects, decorative lighting is mainly used for decoration, so some lamps, although very beautiful, are relatively inferior in functionality, and must be considered when selecting.

Light source: life and light effects are difficult to achieve

According to the light source division, there are four kinds of lights commonly used in daily life: incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps, metal halide lamps, and LED lamps (light-emitting diodes). These lamps have their own advantages and disadvantages in use, and it is necessary to fully understand the performance of various lamps.

Incandescent lamp

The biggest disadvantage of incandescent lamps is their short life. The use time is usually between 3000-4000 hours. Some incandescent lamps with poor quality can only be used for 1500 hours. However, incandescent lamps have a high degree of coloration and can reach 100, which means that the object can be completely displayed. The incandescent lamp has an illumination of between 2700K and 2800K, and the color is softer. According to the characteristics, incandescent lamps in the home are often used in restaurants, bedrooms and other spaces, and look more comfortable.

Energy saving lamp

Energy-saving lamps are popular for energy saving, and a 9-watt energy-saving lamp is equivalent to a 40-watt incandescent lamp. The life of energy-saving lamps is also relatively long, generally 8,000-10,000 hours. The color rendering of energy-saving lamps is around 80, and some products can reach more than 85, and the color rendering is also relatively high.

The illumination range of energy-saving lamps ranges from 2700K to 6500K, so energy-saving lamps are available in both yellow and white light colors. The average person feels that the yellow light is warmer and the white light is colder. Now many five-star hotels like to use the yellow warm light energy-saving lamps, and the effect is also very good.

High-quality energy-saving lamps use true trichromatic rare earth phosphors to ensure long life while maintaining high brightness. After a period of normal use of the energy-saving lamp, the lamp will become dark, mainly because of the loss of the phosphor, which is technically called light decay. Some high-quality energy-saving lamps have invented the constant-light technology, which allows the lamp to maintain its best working condition for a long time. After 2000 hours, the light decay is less than 10%.
