Knowledge of home lighting design

Home is a private space, with its privacy and personalized requirements, so the lighting design scheme needs to take this feature into account. The so-called individualization is usually embodied in a certain atmosphere or psychological feeling, such as the entrance hall, private meeting room or festival restaurant, where the atmosphere effect needs to be emphasized. In the household lighting, the areas or spaces that can clearly put forward unified requirements are those for fine visual operations, such as the operating console in the kitchen, the make-up area in the bathroom, and the writing and reading area in the home.

Home lighting changes mainly according to the layout, decoration and life content of the room. When there is natural light in the daytime, it will affect the selection of lighting fixtures and the layout of lamps. The following home lighting is for general reference only.

1、 entrance

The entrance is a space for guests to make a first impression. In addition, I hope my family can feel the warm atmosphere as soon as they enter the door. Wall lamp is usually used at the entrance, which is installed on one side or both sides of the door wall, about 1.8m from the ground. Transparent light bulbs are externally used with transparent glass lamps, which are both beautiful and welcome. The opalescent glass lamp makes the surroundings bright and safe. However, these lamps can not shine at the foot, especially in places with stairs, down lights are used more often.

2. Entrance

General lighting is required at the entrance of the hallway. If there are green plants, paintings, niches and other decorations, key lighting can be used to create a lively space. The light source installed under the shoe cabinet can make the ground very bright, but if the ground is shiny, it will not look good because of reflection.

3. Corridors and stairs

In order to achieve the guiding effect of smoothly reaching each room, avoid using lighting fixtures that hinder movement. The corridor is narrow and small. If you use a wall lamp, you should pay attention to the prominent size. Downlights are often used in long corridors, which can produce regular light and shadow on the wall, and the guiding effect will be better.

Where there are stairs, safety lighting is required due to the height difference of stairs. Especially when going down stairs, be careful not to fall off the stairs, so use lamps that will not produce glare. It shall not be installed in a position where the tread is in shadow. Three way switch shall be used for the lighting of corridor and stair, which can be controlled at two positions.

4. Toilet and bathroom

The visual work involved in the toilet and bathroom is mainly some common content. The atmospheric lighting or artistic lighting required in other occasions should be flashed in the design of most bathrooms and bathrooms. For those luxurious bathrooms equipped with large massage bath facilities and fitness areas, special lighting design is required.

In the toilet and bathroom, it is mainly to provide corresponding lighting for activities such as making up and shaving in front of the mirror, while bathing, short-term reading, etc. can be satisfied with the environmental lighting in the bathroom.

The environmental lighting requirements of toilets and bathrooms are special. Generally, the anti fog and anti humidity ceiling lamp installed on the roof of the room can meet the requirements of environmental lighting. Moisture proof mirror headlights can be used above or on both sides of the mirror. Several low wattage moisture proof lamps are also used around the mirror. In this way, the part below the chin can be illuminated, which is not only suitable for makeup, but also suitable for shaving. However, it should not feel too hot. Pay attention to the number and wattage of lamps.

To ensure that the skin color can be displayed correctly, it is recommended to use a light source with a color temperature of 3000K and a color rendering index above 80.

5、  kitchen

The kitchen has I-shaped, U-shaped, island shaped and counter shaped. The kitchen is mainly used for cooking. In terms of scale, some can only cook simple food, and others can chat with their families while cooking. The basic requirement for lighting is to be able to illuminate the working surfaces such as the dining table top, the stove top, and the sink.

During lighting design, shadows on the working surface shall be avoided. The environmental lighting or general lighting in the kitchen may project people's shadows onto the work surface and affect their work. Therefore, it should be noted not to use too strong operation lighting gun to directly illuminate the worktable.

It is recommended to select light sources and lamps according to the following requirements:

Ceiling mounted fluorescent lamp: It is installed in the middle of the ceiling to make the light distribution in the whole room even. The side and bottom of the lamp are covered with light control lens, so that there is suitable light under the lamp and at the side, so as to take care of the lighting under the lamp and the lighting of the closet. The lamps shall be anti fog and anti humidity.

Fluorescent lamp on the cabinet: directly irradiate the operating table, and properly block the elimination to avoid the influence of glare. The light outlet of the lamp shall be equipped with a closed light transmission cover to avoid the accumulation of dust and oil contamination.

The lampblack extractor above the stove is equipped with a lighting source, which can fully meet the needs of operation lighting on the stove.

When selecting the light source, pay special attention to the color rendering property of the light source. Many standard fluorescent lamps will not be appetizing when they shine on food. Generally, light sources with a color temperature of 3000K and a color rendering index above 80 are suitable.

6. Restaurant

In the center of the dining room is the table. The lighting is required to make everything on the table, such as cloth, bowls and chopsticks, food, flowers and plants, bright and beautiful, so that food can cause appetite. The most widely used lighting fixtures for dining tables are chandeliers. Depending on the size of the table, one to three can be used. If the dining room is not too large, this kind of pendant lamp can be used for table lighting and general lighting.

Restaurants usually use light sources with a color temperature of 3000K and a color rendering index above 80 to better highlight the color of food.

7. Bedroom

The bedroom is basically a space for sleeping. The first requirement is that lighting should have a hypnotic effect. The lighting can meet the needs of reading, watching TV, making up, taking clothes and other living behaviors before bedtime, depending on the way the room is used. It is recommended to give consideration to both general lighting and local lighting.

It should be noted that the brightness of hypnotic lighting fixtures should not be too high, and general lighting should not be too bright. A covered desk lamp can be used in the bedroom to show the desired atmosphere.

For the elderly's bedroom, it is necessary to install a light that is not too bright at the foot in order to go to the toilet at midnight.

When choosing the light source, you should pay attention to keeping the tone of the whole bedroom as consistent as possible, and also pay attention to keeping the consistency of color rendering in the whole room. This can maintain a mild visual atmosphere on the whole and avoid the sense of jumping and stiffness. Because different people have different requirements for the light environment and atmosphere of the bedroom, the color temperature and color rendering index are not recommended here.

8. Study

The study is a space for visual work. Now computers have been widely used in the study of each family, so the lighting design on the desk should focus on the brightness of the display screen. It is necessary to make a large and detailed exploration of the surrounding brightness ratio and illuminance ratio. The brightness of computer operation lighting generally increases in the order of paper text and the background wall of keyboard, display screen and display screen. In addition to general lighting, computer operation lighting also uses arm type desk lamps as local lighting.

The study room and study are not only for visual industry, but also for the need to relax after a long time of work. At this time, it is very important to have lighting to create a relaxed atmosphere.

9. Living room

The living room is the most frequently used multi-functional space in the home. The lighting of the living room, which integrates the functions of gathering, watching TV, reading, and receiving guests, requires multiple lights in one room, and the switch circuit needs to be controlled separately to make the lighting effect match with various activities. In particular, the larger the room, the more different activities will be carried out at the same time. Attention shall be paid to avoid interference of various lights when arranging lamps. In a very large room compared with the ceiling height, people's vision is mostly on the ceiling surface, so ceiling lighting is particularly important. It should be noted that lamps that are easy to generate glare should not be selected.

According to the light distribution classification of general lighting fixtures, the ceiling and wall surface have a great impact on the atmosphere and average illumination of the space. Therefore, it is necessary to fully understand the surface conditions and select suitable lamps for lighting. Downlights without glare are generally recommended. If the room is very bright, indirect lighting like cornice lighting will be good both in efficiency and effect.

The lighting when watching TV is a special requirement. At this time, the lighting in other places in the living room is often unnecessary or harmful to watching TV. It is recommended to provide soft and moderate lighting near the TV.

10. Courtyard and passage

In view of the daytime landscape in the courtyard, the lighting should be hidden inside trees as much as possible. Therefore, it is better to use small lamps, such as compact fluorescent lamps and low-voltage halogen tungsten lamps.

The lighting should illuminate the trees, flower beds, stones, pools, etc. in the courtyard. If the smaller courtyard can use 1-2 lamps, the larger courtyard includes the lighting at the entrance, and a large number of lamps are used to illuminate the important landscape elements in the courtyard, which can show a dramatic scene in the dark courtyard.

Among the decorative techniques of lighting, there are also projection lighting that projects the shadow of leaves on the wall, illuminates continuous trees to produce a guiding lighting effect, and makes the surrounding scenery reflect the water surface lighting of pools, etc. If you can see these views from the living room or dining room, these views are completely different from those in the daytime, which will excite the residents
