The purchase of lamps and lanterns is a very important part of interior decoration. Lighting can not only illuminate, but also fill the interior space with a sense of luxury and warmth.
Whether you are renting or buying a house, everyone can use lighting to transform the interior environment and create a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
Not enough lighting brands and styles? The indoor space is not large enough? Today I will talk to you about how to choose the most suitable lamps for you.
01 The difference and comparison of various types of light bulbs
Comparison of the differences between incandescent lamps, energy-saving lamps and LED lamps
① Incandescent lamp
Incandescent lamps are the most traditional light bulbs. Before the advent of energy-saving lamps and LED lamps, incandescent lamps were used in homes. In my impression, when I was a child, my family was either changing light bulbs, or on the way to buy light bulbs…
Incandescent lamps have many shortcomings, and they are basically eliminated by the market now, such as power consumption, the same power, the same working time, the surface temperature of the bulb is higher than that of energy-saving lamps and LED lamps; the service life of incandescent lamps is the shortest, generally only 1000 Hour;
② energy saving lamps
Energy-saving lamps save a lot of electricity than incandescent lamps. The brightness of 17W energy-saving lamps is equivalent to 100W incandescent lamps, and the service life of energy-saving lamps is more than 6000 hours;
LED light is a kind of light-emitting diode, which converts electricity into light, consumes very low power, and has a service life of up to 100,000 hours. It is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Now the decoration is basically LED energy-saving lamps.
③ Ordinary energy-saving light bulbs
There are several values to refer to when buying light bulbs:
- Luminous flux: refers to the brightness of the light source, unit: lm lumens. The 100-watt old-fashioned incandescent lamp has the same brightness as the 12-watt LED energy-saving lamp. If you can’t buy it, you can refer to this value.
- Wattage: The wattage of the bulb.
- Color temperature: The higher the color temperature, the cooler the light; the lower the color temperature, the warmer the light.
- Bayonet specification: The bayonet specification of the bulb is very important, otherwise the purchased bulb will not fit.
The lamp holder is mainly divided into bayonet and screw type. The screw type has E27, E14, E26, E40 and other specifications. E27 is the most commonly used lamp holder; the bayonet lamp holder starts with GU, and the specifications include GU10, GU20, and B22 bayonet lamp holder, etc.
If you really don’t know how to buy it, take off your light bulb, look at the parameters above, and compare it to buy it, you won’t be wrong.
You can choose Philips’ most basic LED energy-saving lamp, six in a box. If you still have incandescent lamp at home, quickly replace them with energy-saving lamp, which are energy-saving, environmentally friendly, power-saving, and not easy to break.
Philips lamp are of very good quality, high color rendering, high brightness, and long life. This lamp has B22 and E27 mounts, with different brightness and power, choose according to your own preferences. Usually, you should prepare a few more light bulbs at home, in case the light bulbs are broken and can be replaced in time.
As long as you install a smart bulb and connect to the app via Bluetooth, you can intelligently control the switch, adjust the brightness and color of the bulb. It can also be controlled by voice from an Echo or Google Nest device, which is very convenient. When buying, pay attention to the variety of interfaces, don’t buy the wrong one.
02 Ceiling light
Ceiling lamps are most commonly used in home decoration. My living room, corridor, bedroom, study, kitchen and bathroom are all ceiling lamps.
In houses with low storey heights, it is easy to feel oppressive with chandeliers, and it is not safe to touch the lights as soon as you reach out. Therefore, try to use ceiling lamp to create an open indoor space, and the ceiling lamp are simple and elegant in shape, practical and versatile.
If you want to have a stronger sense of design, you can buy some brands of LED creative ceiling lamp. The two-layer design is more three-dimensional than the flat ceiling lamp. It has 6 ring lamp of different sizes, just like a flower on the ceiling. Like a flower; the appearance is elegant and simple, suitable for modern and simple decoration style.
With a remote control, you can adjust the brightness and color temperature of the lamp; LED lamp are more energy-saving and environmentally friendly, have a long service life, and are basically indestructible; PVC lampshade reduces the transmittance of lighting, the light is softer, protects eyesight, and creates a warm and comfortable Living Environment.
If you want to buy a big-name ceiling lamp, you can go to 88off , a professional lighting website. They have hundreds of well-known high-end lighting brands, including Lindby, AGE, Philips, FLOS, etc. There are lamps and lanterns, which can be matched with various decoration styles.
I do not recommend specific styles, and interested friends can find their favorite designs.
03 Chandelier
There are many styles of chandeliers, which are dazzling to see. Installing a chandelier with a full sense of design above the dining table can increase the dining atmosphere, and use the light to add color to the food and increase appetite.
You can choose some restaurant chandeliers with a full sense of design, which exude a modern and modern elegance in the high-end, and set off the dining atmosphere.
04 Desk Lamp
Table lamp are mainly used for lighting in work and study places to ensure a good visual environment in the work area. Not all lights are suitable for reading and writing.
Therefore, there are more indicators to pay attention to when buying table lamp than ordinary daily lamp, such as stroboscopic, blue light, color temperature, illuminance, and color rendering index. If a table lamp is not selected properly, it is easy to cause eye fatigue, decreased vision, and even dizziness.
So on the desk lamp, I am willing to spend all my money. A good eye protection desk lamp can protect eyesight, improve work efficiency and reading experience, which cannot be measured by money.
05 Floor Lamp
Floor lamp are mainly used for local lighting, which is very useful for creating a corner atmosphere. The British use floor lamp to improve the warmth of the home.
The light of the floor lamp is not easy to be too bright and dazzling, and the soft and warm light will be more warm. Floor lamp are suitable to be placed next to sofas and coffee tables to play a decorative role.
Different designs of lighting can also light up interior decoration, each lamp is a work of art, showing the taste of the owner.
