Look for him in the crowd. Suddenly looking back, the man was there, dimly lit. As the saying goes, love at first sight, ten thousand years have passed. The ancients used poems to illustrate the importance of lighting to create an atmosphere.
Therefore, in addition to paying attention to the price and shape of lamps, the color temperature and wattage of bulbs are also very important selection criteria. Today, I summarized some tips for choosing lamps for your reference ~
First, how many watts of light bulbs in different rooms are most suitable.
1. porch
A 5W downlight/spotlight is enough. If there is no ceiling, you can also install exposed downlights. If you like a chandelier, you can also install one. The height above the ground is suggested to be 2~2. 1, which is also 5W.
2. Living room
The living room is an area where family members often move. It is not only an activity center for family members, but also a place to entertain relatives and friends. It must be transparent and bright.
Therefore, the bulb wattage is relatively high, and the bulb wattage is calculated at 2.5~3W per square meter.
If there is a dining area or an open study in the living room, then these functional areas also need targeted lighting.
kitchen
In order to reduce the inconvenience and danger when cooking, the kitchen needs to have enough bright lights without leaving dark areas.
Use a chandelier, ceiling lamp, or downlight to calculate the wattage of the light bulb according to 2.5~3W per square meter.
In addition, because the kitchen is full of steam and oil, it is necessary to choose lamps that are easy to scrub, corrosion-resistant and oil-resistant, so as to avoid the smoke generated by cooking for a long time and affect the lighting, otherwise it will cause certain security risks.
When wiping, clean with dry cloth.
4. Toilet
12- 16w has sufficient light.
If possible, you can design two buttons: one is a cool light, and the other is a warm light with low wattage. This can prevent eye discomfort caused by too bright light at night, and can also dispel drowsiness.
Because the bathroom and toilet are a space with humid air inside, it is best to choose lamps with good waterproof performance.
5. Adult bedroom
The lighting settings should be mainly soft, which can help people fall asleep quickly, and the wattage of the lighting needs to be low.
If you have the habit of getting up at night, you can add a hidden light strip at the bottom of the cabinet and bed, which can not only illuminate the ground, but also not disturb your partner.
6. Children's room
The child is in the development stage, and his eyes are very sensitive to light, but he likes to watch strong light very much, which is very bad for his eyes; Therefore, all light sources should try not to be direct. The simplest thing is to use a ceiling lamp, and then arrange an eye protection desk lamp.
7. Room for the elderly
Unlike children, the elderly need brighter lights to see things clearly because of their aging eyesight. Therefore, it should be calculated according to the standard of 5~8W per square meter or higher.
If you don't know, you'd better ask the old man for advice. If it's not too bright, you have to buy something with a larger wattage.
Old people's rooms must be equipped with night lights, and the induction light belt or induction wall lamp under the bed is very good.
8. Stairs
Because the stairwell is special and runs through two floors, it is definitely not appropriate to set it at the corner. It is recommended to do lighting along the steps, such as small wall lamps or light strips.
Second, the influence of color temperature on home atmosphere
Color temperature is also an important reference data for selecting bulbs.
Generally, the warm red color has a low temperature and the cold blue color temperature is high. It is recommended to use low color temperature lamps at home.
Lamps with low color temperature will make the space warm, warm and relaxed.
Therefore, the color temperature of each space in the home can refer to the following arrangement:
Living room: the color temperature should be controlled at about 4000~5000K (neutral white), bright and warm;
Restaurant: the color temperature should be controlled at around 3000k~4000k (warm white light), which is warm and soft;
Bedroom: it is recommended that the color temperature be controlled at around 3000k (warm white light), which is soft and not dazzling;
Toilet: It is suggested that the color temperature of the light should be 4000-4500K (neutral white) and bright;
Kitchen: the color temperature is controlled between 5500 and 6500 K (positive white light), which is bright and can induce appetite.
It is suggested to turn off some lights and reduce lighting after 9 pm. This can gradually increase the concentration of melatonin in the body, so as not to delay sleep time and affect deep sleep.
It is recommended not to turn on the light when sleeping at night, because light will enter the retina and affect the quality of sleep.
Three, the purchase, installation and replacement of light bulbs need to pay attention to the following matters.
1. Check the logo: when buying a lamp, check the model, trademark, function, rated voltage, etc. The rated power of the lamp should be consistent with the actual situation.
2. Check the appearance: check whether the shell is deformed to avoid short circuit caused by the line being squeezed; Exquisite appearance, no burr.
3. Considering the bearing capacity: especially at the top of the ceiling, suitable lamps and lanterns need to be installed. Overweight lamps must be installed on the original roof to ensure safe use.
4. Energy-saving principle: the energy-saving bulb saves electricity, has better illumination, does not emit too much heat, and is suitable for multiple headlights. When choosing lamps, we should also pay attention to the fact that most spotlights are non-energy-saving products.
5. Safety principle: When replacing the light bulb, it is best to wrap adhesive tape on the turnbuckle to avoid accidental electric shock. When the light bulb is dirty and needs cleaning, it is best to take it down to dry. If it is wiped with a wet cloth, wait until the light bulb has no moisture before installing it; Or turn off the lamp holder and wipe it to prevent electric shock.
