First of all, we need to pay attention to several aspects of residential lighting:
-
Basic lighting:
we seek the light at night. Lighting is the only way we can see things. No matter where we are, we do not want to have shadows. Due to we like to place a lot of furniture indoors, which will cause shadows in some corners, the type and location of the lamps and lanterns are particularly important. It is basic lighting requirement to overcome these problems.
For general indoor ceiling lights, we will choose the following: ceiling lights, down lights, chandeliers or suspend lights.
-
Decorative effect
While we are pursuing basic lighting, lighting fixtures, as a part of indoor residences, can also play a certain decorative role. This requires that the shape of the fixture needs to be sufficiently stylish and beautiful, and be determined according to the owner's preferences. If the owner prefers a simple style, ceiling lamps and downlights are good choices; if the owner prefers a gorgeous and fashionable style, chandeliers and crystal lamps are more suitable.
-
Safety protection, later management and maintenance
In view of there are many flammable furniture equipment in the house, the built-in power supply in the lamp, if an accident occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, the material of the power cover is very important. Certain heat dissipation and fire protection are required. In addition, fire-rated downlights are very popular fireproof lamps on the market. Refractory downlight is a built-in lamp that can protect the ceiling from fire after digging a hole, when fixing a new lamp. Only in the case of recessed or semi-recessed can fire-rated downlights be installed.

The characteristics of the lamp, how to better serve the indoor lighting
- Color temperature environment: If it is in the lobby and kitchen, a certain degree of object recognition is required. Normally, 3500K can meet the basic color temperature environment requirements. On the contrary, in the bedroom, we hope that the nerves can be relaxed. The warm color lights will let us relax and maintain a good sleep. The color temperature of 2800K can basically meet the needs.
- Color rendering index: The most common lighting fixtures market have low color rendering index, especially residential lighting, which is not commercial lighting and does not need to highlight any key points. CRI≥80 is conventional requirements, CRI≥90 CRI≥95 CRI≥97, these are special requirements, which are based on the owner's other special needs.
- High light efficiency is the main energy saving index: The luminous efficiency and luminous flux of traditional light sources do not change much, such as fluorescent lamps. If the power of the light source is consistant, the luminous efficiency and lumen will not change too much, the LED light source is different, the high-efficiency LED light source is the main energy-saving indicator .
