Lights are the most attractive flirts in the interior of the house. Different shapes, colors, materials, and sizes can create different lighting effects for different living rooms and show different expressions of the bedroom. Nowadays, there are numerous shapes and forms in the market. Does the lamp feel dazzling? In fact, when choosing a lamp, you mainly have to consider the following three aspects:

First of all, you should choose the style of the lamp according to your actual needs and personal preferences. For example, if you pay attention to the practicality of the lamp, you should choose black, dark red and other dark-lined ceiling lamps or floor lamps, and if you pay attention to the decorative The pursuit of modern style, then you can choose a lively point of lighting. If you like the lighting characteristics of ethnic characteristics, you can choose to floor lamp sculpture.

Secondly, the color of the lamps and lanterns should be coordinated with the style of the home decoration. The lighting of the living room must take into account the style of the interior furniture, the color of the wall, and the color of the household appliances. Otherwise, the overall color of the lighting and the living room will be inconsistent. For example, the color of the indoor wallpaper is light-colored, and the warm-colored incandescent light should be used as the light source, so that a bright and soft light environment can be created.

Finally, the size of the lamp should be combined with the indoor area, the number of furniture and the corresponding size. For example, a small living room below 12 square meters should adopt a ceiling lamp or a wall lamp with a diameter of 200 millimeters or less. Too crowded. In the living room of about 15 square meters, a ceiling lamp with a diameter of about 300 mm or a multi-pronged chandelier should be used. The maximum diameter of the lamp should not exceed 400 mm. The effect will be better.

In home life, according to different functions, lamps can be divided into two kinds of architectural lamps and decorative lamps. According to introduction, architectural lamps are to be combined with architectural structures, such as downlights, wall lamps, ceiling lamps, downlights, etc. There are many choices in style, but the functionality is relatively single. Therefore, before the family decoration, we must fully consider the actual function of each fixture after the renovation, do not pay too much attention to style and ignore practicality.

Decorative lamps are relatively free to choose. At present, decorative lamps and lanterns are available on the market. The style is complete. When home decoration, different families can match according to their own decoration style. For example, many families now like crystal lamps, Japanese-style lamps, American-style lamps. Etc. In addition, there are some special styling lamps can also be selected. From the lighting effect, decorative lamps are mainly used for decoration, so some lamps, although very nice, but its function is relatively poor, must be considered when selecting the use of features.

Light source: life and light efficiency are difficult to have both

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

Incandescent

The biggest drawback of incandescent lamps is that they have a short life span, the use time is generally between 3000-4000 hours, and some incandescent lamps with poor quality can only use 1500 hours. However, the high color rendering of incandescent lamps can reach 100, which means that Can fully display the original object. Incandescent lamp illumination between 2700K-2800K, the color is relatively soft. According to the characteristics of the home incandescent lamp is often used in restaurants, bedrooms and other space, looks more comfortable.

Energy-saving lamps

Energy-saving lamps are popular because of energy saving. A 9-watt energy-saving lamp is equivalent to a 40-watt incandescent lamp. The life span 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 be used. Above 85, the color rendering is relatively high.

Energy-saving lamps have an illumination ranging from 2700K to 6500K. Therefore, energy-saving lamps are available in yellow and white light colors. Most people feel that the yellow light is warmer and the white light is colder. Now many five-star hotels like to use yellow warm. Energy-saving light, the effect is also very good.

High-quality energy-saving lamps use true tri-phosphorous rare-earth phosphors to ensure long life while maintaining high brightness. After a period of normal use of energy-saving lamps, the lamps will become dark, mainly because of the loss of phosphors. Technically known as light failure. Some high-quality energy-saving lamps invented Hengliang technology, can make the lamp to maintain the best working condition for a long time, after 2000 hours, the light fades less than 10%.

Metal Halide Lamp

Metal halide lamps are actually a kind of incandescent lamps, and their service life is not very long, generally between 3000-4000 hours and no more than 6,000 hours. The illumination intensity of metal halogen lamps is between 2700K-3250K. This kind of lamp can be used for key points. Lighting, such as to highlight the decorative paintings on the wall, indoor ornaments, etc., can be illuminated with cold light cups, this white light can be changed according to different home improvement styles, consistent with fashion.

LED lights

This kind of lamp science is called light-emitting diodes and belongs to new technologies. Nowadays, white LED lamps on the market are better in performance, but current LED lamps still need improvement in technology. First, the efficiency of light is low, and second, there is a lack of color. In the seven bands of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, the blue and green bands of LED lights are relatively small, so there will be defects in the display of the color of things. Experts predict that LED lights can work well. To solve these two problems, it is possible to replace other lamps in the future, because theoretically, the lifespan of LED lamps is infinite.

Light tips

Lights are more personalized electrical appliances, as long as you like, there is no law on the choice. However, many people choose a professional designer for home improvement design, after the completion of the best choice of lamps and light sources in accordance with the requirements of the designer, so that better Consistent with the style of home improvement, after all, designers are professionals.

In the lamp light source selection, we must pay attention to people's psychological feelings, do not choose too much white light, use some soft yellow light will make people feel very comfortable at home, color temperature to be unified.

Nowadays, there are many people who use light sockets for decoration. In fact, some families will not use them for a long period of time after they move in. They shouldn’t follow the trend of “fitting people” to consider the actual needs.

In the choice of lamps and lanterns, do not map cheap, small lights are also electrical appliances, poor quality lamps in addition to a significant discount in performance, there are hidden dangers in security.

In order to save energy, the lamps should be distinguished according to their functions: general lighting and accent lighting. The general lighting can use general illuminance, but for artworks, entrances and other spaces, key lighting should be used, so that it will be more reasonable in terms of functionality. , Which space to use which space lighting, in addition to energy saving, can also increase the sense of space changes in the room.

Related common sense

Chromaticity: refers to the light reduction characteristics of the object, with good color rendering, can make the color of the object in the light under the light of the noon under the sun, best reflect the original features of the thing, the higher the color rendering the more able to show Things are what they are.

Illumination: refers to the brightness of the light on the object, such as the energy-saving lamp illumination range between 2700K-6500K, the higher the illumination the light is brighter, 2700k is generally warm light, the color is yellow, relatively soft; 6500K is generally cold light, color White.

Light decay: It is one of the important standards to measure the quality of energy-saving lamps. High-quality energy-saving lamps can ensure that the light failure occurs during use.

When you choose lamps for children's room, the safety performance of the lamp itself is the first, in addition to the lamp itself is environmentally friendly, the shape is lovely, in line with children's psychology is also very important. In light, because children are in the development stage, so Bright light and high color rendering are very important. Three-color fluorescent lamps are ideal choices. It is a new generation of fluorescent lamps using three-color phosphors. Its characteristic is that the luminous efficiency is 1.4 times that of ordinary fluorescent lamps. The color rendering is common fluorescent lamps. 1.2 times. So the three-primary light source is brighter, more realistic, and naturally exhibits color, which is good for children's eyesight.
