Several false choices of home lighting

    All along, we have been talking about some methods and principles of home lighting design and commercial lighting design, but rarely mentioned those common misunderstandings. In this article, the author does not only talk about methods, but also focuses on several common mistakes in home improvement lighting design, and attaches the correct solutions.

This article contains the following:

The higher the wattage, the better the lighting?

Energy-saving light bulb is the best?

Home lighting needs as much as possible?

What kind of home lighting is used in the kitchen?

 

1.The higher the wattage, the better the lighting?

    The higher the wattage of the light source, the greater the brightness of the lamp and the better the lighting effect. In fact, this is the most common misunderstanding, and there is no one. (Of course, this is correct for the same kind of light source.)

    Positive solution: Learn to understand the parameters indicated on the lamp packaging information. The reason why many people have this wrong opinion is probably because the early incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps can judge the brightness by the watt value. But the current request for payment is different. The brightness of the 12W LED bulb may be the same as the 85W incandescent lamp. So how do we choose bulbs / light sources? The correct method is to judge the lamp brightness based on the lumen value shown on the package.

 

2.Energy-saving light bulb is the best?

    In order to save energy and protect the environment, the choice of "energy saving bulbs" can never be wrong!

    Positive solution: To judge whether a light bulb or light source is power-saving, the main reference is "light effect". The light efficiency, that is, the luminous efficiency, refers to the luminous flux output by the light source for every 1W of electricity consumed, and the unit is lm / W. The higher the luminous efficiency, the higher the efficiency of the conversion of electrical energy into light, that is, the less power consumed to emit the same luminous flux. Therefore, when choosing a light bulb or light source, we must look at the light effect value on the package description.

3.Home lighting needs as much as possible?

    In order to achieve "omnidirectional" lighting effects and decorative effects, many lights are installed at home, and many lights are usually not used at all.

    Positive solution: Distinguish between key lighting and auxiliary lighting Home lighting planning must first consider the changes in natural lighting, then design the artificial light source, and arrange appropriate key lighting and auxiliary lighting according to the spatial attributes, so that a more reasonable lighting design can be presented. At the same time, the circuit needs to be properly planned so that the lights can be turned on separately.

4.What kind of home lighting is used in the kitchen?

    The kitchen only needs a chandelier or ceiling lamp. Furthermore, it is believed that warm light used in the kitchen can create a very atmospheric environment. But the fact is that the operating area is often blocked by your own shadow, which can easily lead to accidents!

    Positive solution: Choose white light or yellow light according to personal visual experience, especially the preference of the "master chef" at home. It is recommended to apply white light with a color temperature of about 5000K in the operation area, and yellow light with a color temperature of about 3000K in other leisure areas. At the same time, a spotlight can be installed at the bottom of the cabinet to illuminate the operation area. In addition, such as study, kitchen, bathroom and other spaces, the author also recommends the use of white light, which is bright and safe.
