Ms. Jiao Jiangyan’s new home decoration is nearing completion. Recently, she is busy buying lamps in the lighting market of Luqiao Building Decoration City. After a few days of turning, Ms. Yan is picking up her eyes, but still can't decide what to buy in the end!
In fact, there are quite a lot of people who have the same troubles as Ms. Yan. What should I do? Let us listen to the advice of professionals!
Buy lights according to demand
Lu Chuanjun, general manager of the Luqiao Building Decoration City Jingli Lighting Museum, said that before buying a lamp, the public should first make a statistics on the types of lamps to be used at home. According to the function, the types of lamps are roughly divided into chandeliers, ceiling lamps, floor lamps, wall lamps, table lamps, downlights, and spotlights, which are used in different places in the home.
Usually, the chandelier is suitable for the living room, and the ceiling lamp is suitable for lighting in the living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, etc.; the floor lamp is often used as a partial illumination, not comprehensive, but emphasizes the convenience of movement, and is very practical for the corner atmosphere. Wall lights are suitable for lighting in bedrooms, bathrooms, and corridors, balconies, etc. The downlights are generally installed in the ceilings around the bedroom, living room and bathroom. Spotlights can be placed around the ceiling or on the upper part of the furniture, or in the wall, wall skirt or skirting. The public can choose which kinds of lights to buy according to the actual needs of their homes. After setting them up, they will carefully select the style and material of the lamps.
Choose the light according to the decoration style
Qi Chuanjun told the author that when many people come to buy lights, they often choose according to their own preferences. After buying them, they find that the effect at home is not ideal. In fact, the public should choose the lighting according to their own home decoration style, the lighting should be matched with the overall style, color and other factors to achieve a better decorative effect.
Taking chandeliers as an example, relatively high-grade marble chandeliers are suitable for European-style villas. The lampshade of this kind of lamp is made of imported marble. When selecting, you should pay attention to the material. The material of the marble lampshade is natural and the transparency is good, while the inferior marble texture is messy and the light transmittance is poor. Then look at the craft, a good marble lampshade is a finished product imported directly from Spain, and then assembled in the country, and another is imported stone, processed in the country, this process is slightly worse. In addition, we must look at the brackets. Usually, high-quality marble lamp holders are made of high-quality copper, which will not fade after special treatment.
The price of marble lamps belongs to high-end products, and the price of lamps with a diameter of about 1 meter is more than 10,000 yuan. Of course, marble lamps are available in other types of lights such as wall lamps and floor lamps. The use of light source is best to choose energy-saving lamps, one to save power, and the other to protect the lampshade, because the material of marble is water-containing, if you use ordinary incandescent bulbs, the temperature will be too high, it will make the marble lampshade Water loss in the process, thus destroying the luminaire.
Crystal chandeliers are more suitable for high-rise units, such as villas or hops. Of course, now the average family can also choose the right crystal chandelier, which is more suitable for the simple European style family.
There are also several types of crystal lamps: natural crystal cut chandeliers, heavy lead crystal blow molding chandeliers, low lead crystal blow molding chandeliers; crystal glass mid-range chandeliers, crystal glass pendant chandeliers, crystal glass die-casting chandeliers, crystal glass strips Chandeliers, etc.
The high-quality crystal lamps are made of high-tech materials, and some inferior crystal lamps are even pretending to be plastic, and the light and shadow effects are naturally poor. Therefore, we must carefully compare and carefully identify when purchasing.
Another point to remind everyone is that the floor height of ordinary commercial houses is often less than 3 meters, and the installation height of chandeliers should be no less than 2.2 meters from the ground. Therefore, in general, chandeliers are more suitable for villas with higher floor heights.
