On Lighting of Home Space
Compared with the traditional way of lighting the whole house with a chandelier, the superposition and combination of the various types of lights can make the same space have different visual effects and living experience, such as floor lamp, down light, spot light and track light.
We summarize this method of lighting design as "Scattered Point Lighting" which is according to the different needs of different space and different areas in the room, different types of lamps and lanterns are applied in the way of combining point, line and surface to realize multi-level lighting of wall, roof and ground, so as to make the whole living space more warm, practical and hierarchical.
As shown in the figures above, there are generally five types of lighting, Indirect lighting, Situation lighting, Supplementary lighting, Direct lighting and Accent lighting. And the different types are the application of "scattered point" and each plays a different role.
The left and right lights have the same brightness and beam angle, but the girl on the left will feel the glare of the light.The difference is that the shielding angle of the two lamps. The girl on the right is sitting in the shielding angle area of the lamp, and can't see the light source on the light surface of the lamp, no glare, no blinding, therefore, she feels that the light is soft and comfortable.
So, first of all we would like to show you how to choose a light from the following aspects.
1. Lamps with "shielding angle" of about 45 ° are selected.The shielding angle of luminaire refers to the angle between the horizontal line and the line connecting the most marginal point of the light source and the opening edge of the luminaire. If lamps with shading angle less than 30 ° will produce high brightness and glare to human eyes.There is a simple method for human eyes to identify the shading angle: the depth from the lamp mouth plane to the light source is similar to the thumb length, and the shading angle is about 45 degrees, so the lamp has less glare.
2. If the embedded lamps are mounted into a suspended ceiling, the height of lamps should be less than 7cm. If the height of the embedded luminaire is higher than 10cm, it is not recommended to install it at home. It requires a thicker ceiling. As for the size of lamps and lanterns, it's not necessary to pursue big ones. The concealed installation itself is to keep the ceiling fresh and clean. It is the best to be exquisite and powerful.
3. If there is no suspended ceiling, surface mounted lamps shall be selected. Surface mounted lights must have a beautiful appearance. To do a good job in both light and appearance is a high-grade lamp. In the eyes of designers and architects, lamps and lanterns are soft decoration. Remember not to be careless, it is directly related to taste.
4. For down light and spot light with beam angle, the recommended power is 7 to 12w for conventional family. If it is a larger space, you can choose a higher power lamp.
Then how to use a lamp? Adjust the light output direction and control the shielding angle, so as to change the lighting from direct lighting to indirect lighting and people appear in the shielding angle. For example: the track lamp turns to the wall and reflects the light to the human eye through the wall. It is soft and comfortable, and the direct light becomes indirect light. The difference between indirect lighting and direct lighting is whether it is refracted by the medium. Light adjustment principle is: wipe the wall, do not directly shine on the wall, control the shielding angle, avoid glare.
In the picture, the lamp on the left is vertical to the wall, which makes the local part too bright. The brightness and glare of human eyes are produced by refraction of the wall. On the right side of the picture, the light was wiping the wall, and the light is soft and even.
Grasp the above principles, consider the family's routine moving line (action route), observe the shielding angle everywhere, fine tune the direction of lamps, control the proportion of direct lighting and indirect lighting, and wipe the wall without shining on the wall, then you can basically have an ideal home environment.
