How To Avoid Home Lighting Design Mistakes?

In the design of a new home, lighting design has always played an indispensable role. Good lighting in the home not only helps to enhance the design sense of the overall space, but also enables the owner to have a more comfortable and convenient living experience in daily life, so the lighting design is reasonable and can not be underestimated. The following 4 misunderstandings about lighting design sorted out by REBON will directly reduce the quality of life of householders, causing a lot of inconvenience.

Use yellow light in the kitchen. Yellow light as the main light source can play a role in creating a sense of warm, but if it is an operation area, it is recommended to give priority to white light. Compared with yellow light, the line of sight of white light is clearer. Generally, white light with a color temperature of about 5000K is suitable for working areas, and yellow light with a color temperature of about 3000K is suitable for leisure areas. If it's a kitchen-oriented space, REBON suggests white light as the main lighting. Besides the main lighting, additional lighting should be added under the cabinet to enhance the brightness.

Low storey heigh with pendants. Install pendants in low storey heigh house will make the ceiling look shorter and the space more depressed. Generally, storey over 3m are more suitable for pendants. If the storey is not high, indirect lighting should be used to extend the sense of space by lighting the ceiling or the wall: the light source hits upwards, reflects to the ceiling through the light, and the light source radiates indirect light source, so that the ceiling can have the visual effect of upward extension; Hit the light source on the wall, and lift the storey visually by upward or downward light.

There is no auxiliary lighting in the reading area. Some homeowners thought that the reading area needed bright light, so they installed some projection lights on the ceiling. Although the overall environment is much brighter, they will find that the light is dazzling after reading for a long time, which will easily lead to eye fatigue. To meet the reading functional, lamps with uniform light sources should be installed on the ceiling, and accent lighting of auxiliary light sources such as desk lamps. In addition, REBON reminds that the installation position of lamps and lanterns should avoid the rear of seats, otherwise reading shadows will easily occur.

General bulb for bathroom environment. Bathroom belongs to a high humidity environment, and if general lamps are used, problems such as poor insulation and rust will easily occur due to the humidity in the air, so try to avoid installing open lamps in the bathroom, and use waterproof lamps.
