Home decoration purchasing skills Six criteria for lighting selection

1. The principle of simplicity

Lighting should play a finishing touch in the room. Too complicated shapes and too complicated colors are not suitable for designing simple rooms.

2. The principle of convenience

Most people have experienced the embarrassment of replacing ceiling lamps: stepping on a table, stepping on a chair, raising your head 90 degrees, and raising your arms over your head to a ceiling that is 2.5 meters high or even higher. When choosing lamps, be sure to consider the convenience of replacing lamps.

3. Principle of energy saving

  Energy-saving lamps save electricity, have good illumination, and do not emit too much heat. They are suitable for multi-head lamps. Energy-saving lamps are mostly standard screw sockets, and chandeliers have two calibers, one is standard, and energy-saving lamps can be used; the other is non-standard, and energy-saving lamps cannot be used. Pay attention when choosing: Most spotlights are non-energy-saving products.

4. Safety principles

Be sure to choose lamps from regular manufacturers. Regular products are marked with the total load. According to the total load, you can determine how many wattage lamps to use, especially for multi-head chandeliers, that is: the number of heads × the wattage of each bulb = total load. In addition, waterproof lamps should be used in bathrooms and kitchens with high humidity.
