Occupy the home illume with factitious this is my consistent concept, not blind pursuit force division, dazzle is cool.

One: color temperature and lamp power suggestions
Color temperature of lamps and lanterns
Bedroom lamps and lanterns give priority to the warm light with low color temperature.
Reason: Because the biological habit of people is that warm light makes people relax, white light is easier to make people excited, warm light can create a warm atmosphere.
The power of bedroom lamps
A lot of bosom friends are confused to the power of lamps and lanterns and brightness, together with some undesirable manufacturers mark at random, it is to let a person distinguish hard.
Many lamp manufacturers take high brightness as a selling point. If they buy lights offline, they buy them during the day and use them at night. At the same price, we would automatically choose a brighter lamp, anyway, the volume does not increase the price.
I have received a lot of feedback from users that the main light in the bedroom is basically useless and dare not turn on. The main reason is that it is too bright.
From the function of the bedroom convention with lamp scene has: have a rest, watch a film, read, clean.
From the illuminance, in order to the current market mainstream LED luminous efficiency of 70-80lm/W, the power per square is roughly as follows:
Type illuminant, for example down lamp, ceiling lamp.
Bedroom: 2-3W/ flat
Room for the elderly: due to the weak light perception of the elderly, according to the actual situation, usually preset 5-6W/ square, it is suggested to group control different brightness.
Hidden light source (lamp belt, etc.) for basic lighting
Because the light utilization rate of hidden light source is very low, it is recommended to follow the above light source ratio *2-3 times
Ambient lighting with hidden sources is usually 4-6 watts per meter.
Use spotlights for base lighting
Although do not recommend to use shoot the lamp to do foundation illume, but always somebody likes, on power according to above proposal *1.5-2 times more appropriate.
When you use a chandelier as a base lighting, you need to take into account the actual transmittance of the lampshade,
If it is crystal, glass, acrylic and other lampshades, according to the above light source ratio can be,
If the lampshade is marble, jade and other low transmittance, the power is recommended to be more than 2.
Of course, this is not a fixed number, everyone has different preferences for light intensity, but also according to the actual decoration, different brands of lamps and lanterns, light efficiency is not the same, this proposal according to the brand of lamps and lanterns per watt light flux roughly average, for reference, and adjust according to the actual situation.
=== Lamps and lanterns decorate part to differentiate with the area of the bedroom, everybody can come from by combination according to actual situation === =
2: smallpox
No ceiling, no main light
Because do not condole top, there is no lamp trough on smallpox, lack atmosphere lighting naturally, the bright outfit down lamp on smallpox shoots the lamp to need and the head of a bed, curtain box lamps and lanterns closely cooperate use.
No matter be condole top or the bedroom that does not condole top, do not suggest to use shoot the lamp at the head of a bed, even if shoot the lamp to be installed in the upper part of the bedside cabinet, when you lie down, be exposed completely in the glare area of shoot the lamp, stare at “the sun” fall asleep really not so good.
On the smallpox that does not have advocate lamp, a lot of people like to be in the middle installation shoots the light in the bed, and I am not very agree with this kind of practice, through my many times of experiment, even if it is to prevent the shoot the light with outstanding performance of dazzle, also cause dazzle very easily likewise, and it is unacceptable dazzle.
Graph source: the lamp acts the role of illuminant madman abates
The bed is 2M long, 2.2m away from the ceiling,
Point A is in the center of the bed
Point B is moved 45cm back from the center of the bed
When the lamp is at A point, even the anti-glare excellent spotlights will also cause unacceptable dazzle, although there is A large shading Angle spotlights, anti-glare performance is also good enough, but our lying posture is not fixed, not because of A lamp and deliberately to request lying posture.
In this regard, I recommend moving the spotlights slightly towards the end of the bed by 30-40cm. If the lamp position has been fixed, you can adjust the spot light Angle appropriately.
Additional, the shoot the lamp that does not expect bed upper part to illuminate whole room, this lamp duty does not depend on this, shoot the lamp power proposal 3W-5W, the double head grille of 10 watts at every turn calculates.
Suggestions for spotlights above the bed:

Facing the big white wall of the bedroom, two low-power spotlights can also be used appropriately to wash the wall. The distance from the wall should be controlled at 30+cm as far as possible to avoid the discomfort caused by the strong central beam of spotlights.
There is a suspended ceiling and no main light
Whether there is a main light or no main light, the ceiling is the heaven of hidden light source, if the bedroom lamp belt is to do atmospheric lighting, power is recommended to choose 4-6W/M is enough, do not be afraid of not enough light, there are other lamps and lanterns.

Absorb dome light
If it is to plan to install the main light, so it is basically a ceiling light, choose the lamp as far as possible with no pole dimming, toning function, there are a variety of preset modes, or intelligent control of the ceiling light, this is more friendly to the light source is onefold space.

For instance again, those who have preset mode absorb dome light, open the lamp in late night also won’t because of sudden strong light and dazzling.

In the bedroom installation chandelier, we must take into account the height of the problem, the conventional bed height is about 50cm, and the height of the single-storey chandelier is about 50cm, and the height of the commercial house is usually about 270cm, if there is a slight inadvertent risk of meeting, because the height difference between the bed and the chandelier is small, it is easy to cause a sense of visual oppression.
The fan lights
The fan lamp is really a “steamed bun” in the bedroom, which is a sharp tool for relieving heat in mild hot weather and can effectively promote indoor air circulation.
The environment of the bedroom needs to be quiet, and the noise of the fan lamp is like “the spell of the Golden Cymbals”, which is annoying to think about. Choose frequency conversion fan lamp with low noise as far as possible.
Bedroom should avoid using ceiling fan, its reason:
There is a risk of being “decapitated” by the height restriction.
Accidents like this happen from time to time.

The wardrobe light
1, cabinet lighting
Common practice is to use line lamp, and line lamp is divided into two types of direct luminescence and oblique luminescence, direct luminescence just as the name implies is the front luminescence of lamps and lanterns.
Oblique luminescence usually has an inward Angle of 45°
In order to avoid direct lighting, it is recommended to use oblique lighting if there is no folding of cabinet body.
Installation method, recommend the use of embedded installation, first according to the size of the lamp slot, in the pasted lamp can be embedded.
It should be noted that the wardrobe can not be done after the light, the light will be blocked by clothes.

There are a lot of advocate on the net induction control wardrobe lamp, really do not recommend to use, in trying a lot of induction control conclusion is “error open rate” very high, not only very embarrassing, from time to time also startled, suggested wardrobe lamp or old honest practical mechanical switch.
This kind of lamps and lanterns can be DIY completely, buy the patch light source of big brand, drive power supply by oneself, buy appropriate profile in X treasure OK, not only save money and durable.

2. Lamps and lanterns outside the cabinet do supplementary lighting
Common practice is to shoot the lamp before chest, the door of cupboard is done when closing the door “wash wall effect”, when opening cupboard door, the light can be filled inside cupboard, this kind of practice also is desirable, but if cupboard door is glance face plate, the proposal is abandoned decisively. Serious glare can be caused when the beam of spotlight acts on reflective material.
Look at the lights and not the decoration
Because close below condition, cupboard door is to serve as “metope”, on the choice of lamps and lanterns power is given priority to with small power, 3-5W can satisfy demand completely, if brightness of illuminant of this position is too high, can appear abrupt not only, let integral hole home is not harmonious, still can cause the discomfort on the vision.
Of course, this kind shoots the light also is a variety of diversiform, can be embedded lamps and lanterns, bright outfit lamps and lanterns, track shoots the light to wait a moment, decide according to oneself actual circumstance.
The lamps and lanterns on cupboard door use independent switch control as far as possible.

Curtain box lighting
If there is no ceiling, there is no hidden light source in other places, so the curtain box is a very good choice, do not need additional costs and changes, only a thread can be reserved when the decoration, and the light effect is very good.
Because curtain box has curtain to block light, the utilization rate of illuminant is lower, and give priority to the flank that is located in window more, can increase power according to actual situation appropriately on the choice of illuminant.
