Lighting installation must comply with lighting principles

Indoor lighting is not just about illuminating the interior, but rather follows certain principles and requirements to achieve good decorative effects and reflect lighting functions.

Firstly, lighting must ensure the realization of different lighting requirements for various activities. Writing, playing games, resting, meeting guests, and other activities should have corresponding lighting fixtures to play a role. This type of lighting should be scientifically designed to prevent fatigue, promote eye health, and save electricity.

The second is that lighting should be able to set off the room more beautifully. The illumination of light should take into account the contours, levels, and main image of various indoor objects. For some special furnishings such as ornaments, hanging paintings, carpets, vases, fish tanks, etc., it should also reflect or even beautify their colors.

Thirdly, lighting should be reliable and safe. Luminaires are not allowed to have leakage or fire, and must be turned on and off as soon as they are turned off.

The position of the light source in lighting is important, but whether this position is chosen well or not depends on what object you want the light source to illuminate. The first is the person, and the most important part of the person is the face. The light projected from different angles can create different facial expressions. If a person stands directly below a chandelier, direct downward illumination can make their face appear cold and serious. If a lamp shines on a person's face from bottom to top, it will be even worse, and the face will become terrifying and even vicious. So in living rooms, dining rooms, sofa groups, and other places where people gather frequently, direct upward or downward lighting cannot be used. If direct illumination with side projection is used, that is, the light is projected from above the side, which will make the facial contour lines rich and clear; If diffuse lighting fixtures are used to project scattered light onto the face, a clear and approachable image will be achieved. Secondly, lighting up the furniture depends on what you want to achieve.

To what effect. If it is a brand new combination of furniture, its color and outline should be highlighted, and multiple light sources can be used to achieve the effect of minimal shadow on the furniture.

Lighting, as an integral part of decoration, must be arranged according to different types of light sources and their positions.

Bedrooms in China often have multiple functions, such as living rooms, study rooms, changing rooms, and so on. Changing clothes requires uniform light to illuminate from the top and front of the person, in order to obtain a clear image in the mirror. Therefore, the light source cannot be placed behind the human brain. If makeup is needed, auxiliary lights on both sides should be set up so that the hair on the face can be clearly seen. Reading and writing require a writing desk lamp, and indoor lighting can be dimmer and softer during sleep. But for those who have a habit of reading in bed before bedtime, it is best to adjust the brightness and angle of the bedside lamp. The simple method is to install two lights, one on and one off.

The living room has many functions, such as meeting guests for chatting, watching TV and listening to music, and if there is a small bar next to the home audiovisual center, then drinking drinks is also here. Don't expect one chandelier to solve all the problems. When there are many people, you can use chandeliers, wall lamps, etc. to obtain comprehensive lighting and uniform astigmatism. When chatting with two or three people, floor lamps or wall lamps can be used to partially illuminate the coffee table in front of the sofa, rather than illuminating the participants themselves. When the audio-visual center is in use, only a 3-watt small light is needed as a background light in the living room to obtain some weak lighting.

If there is a foyer in a residence, it is worth decorating it well because it can best affect a person's emotions. As soon as you step into the house, if the foyer is bright and lively, it will make those who work all day feel immersed in the embrace of the family and lift their spirits, causing fatigue to subside. This requires the installation of embedded cylindrical ceiling lights on the flat roof of the lobby, and when one is not enough, several can be installed, with better color. If you are someone who loves art, you can make the walls and flat roofs of the hallway and hallway dark and embed a few small lights to make them feel unfathomable. Stepping into the room immediately creates a unique and mysterious atmosphere. Of course, although this may be unique, not everyone can accept it because most people are accustomed to following the rules.

The dining room is different from the kitchen. It is best to install a ceiling light for comprehensive lighting in the kitchen, and to have another spotlight aimed at the stove for easy operation. The dining room is a place where people dine, and both East and West attach great importance to the lighting effect here. Westerners value quiet dining, with softer and darker indoor lighting; And China has always been proud of its exquisite cooking, which definitely includes appreciation for the color of the dishes, which requires bright lighting. In order to balance the two, it is recommended to use stretchable suspension lamps. Not only can the height of the lamp be freely determined by the extension line, but the red or other beautiful color of the headlight cover can also increase appetite. Residential buildings usually have bathtubs in their bathrooms, so the lighting in the bathrooms should balance both functions. When taking a shower, only simple global lighting is required; When washing and applying makeup, it is necessary to use side lighting to illuminate the face. When washing clothes, it is necessary to check whether the clothes in the washing machine are clean, and local lighting is required. So, only two lights need to be installed in the bathroom. One is the main light, which can be a wall light or a ceiling light. 25-40 watts is enough. Another 8-watt fluorescent lamp can be installed above the washbasin, and it can also be used with the newly launched H-lamp or other lighting fixtures.

The lighting for elderly residents should be mainly bright, with slightly brighter ones to dispel loneliness and increase security. Generally, 40-60 watt incandescent lamps are sufficient. For children's lighting fixtures, try to choose lively ones in terms of design, and their brightness can be determined based on actual usage functions. A desk lamp with a wattage of 40 is sufficient for reading and writing. Do not use a fluorescent lamp, as its flicker, which cannot be detected by the human eye with AC power, can stimulate nerves. During the game, the lights can be brighter to illuminate the entire room and make the rich colors more beautiful. When you go to bed, you can turn on a special 3 watt Eternal flame, which not only solves the problem that children are afraid of darkness at night, but also solves the problem that it is convenient to get up in the middle of the night.
