How to choose a good desk lamp for study lighting design?
The study room is a place where people return to the office environment after a day's work. As such, it is both an extension of the office and part of family life. Therefore, we divide the lighting of the study into several areas: the work area - the desk, which needs to provide local lighting; the display area - the bookshelf, which needs to have enough illumination to facilitate our access to materials; the environment - the activity space, which needs to provide ambient light and accent lighting in certain areas. How to do lighting design and how to choose a good desk lamp, this is what LED educational lamp experts will discuss below.
The lighting design of the study should meet the three partition lighting of the environment, bookshelf cabinets and work area.
Ambient lighting
Ambient lighting is mainly to provide basic lighting for the study space. In the human field of vision, a balanced brightness distribution will bring better visual comfort while making the space look more open. Therefore, we can achieve a balanced distribution of brightness by installing embedded or surface lamps in the study, but whether it is a ceiling lamp or a chandelier, the power is recommended to be 20~30W.
bookshelf cabinet
Some people may wonder, why do bookshelves have to install additional lights when they already have ambient lighting? This is because ceiling lights or recessed lights are usually provided for ambient light, and these lights are all downwards and cannot be used. Light up the books in the cupboard. Wouldn't it be a pain if we had to get books from a darkened cabinet every time? But with a spotlight above the front of the bookcase or LED strips on the top and inside of the cabinet, we could see every book The spine of the book, taking and placing materials is not so painful!
Work surface lighting
In the study room, there are two main types of visual work: computer screen reading and paper reading. For both types, the position of the light source relative to the reader and work surface directly determines target visibility and reading efficiency.
Because most computer screens and some papers will reflect the light of the light source installed in the "wrong" position, forming a light curtain reflection glare. Therefore, the relative positions of the human eye, visual target, and light source should be carefully considered.
Therefore, it is best to have a desk lamp on the writing desk, but it should be noted that the light of the desk lamp should be evenly illuminated, and it should not be too close to people to avoid glare.
For the above partition lighting, you can refer to the following three schemes:
1. Desk lamp + ambient light source + spotlight
Install recessed lamps on the ceiling to provide basic lighting for the space. The desktop is an indispensable and frequently used work area. Therefore, it is best to have desk lamps to enhance local lighting, and to install adjustable spotlights in front of bookcases to illuminate the spine. To facilitate finding information or items.
2. Desk lamp + spotlight + light bar
For the basic lighting of the study, you can also choose to install a ceiling lamp on the ceiling, and choose a table lamp that does not directly shine on the eyes on the desktop. If there are paintings hanging on the walls of the study, you can add spotlights for accent lighting. Bookcases can also optionally be fitted with LED strips to provide lighting on each level of the cabinet.
3. Desk lamp + ceiling lamp + light bar
In general, the combination of fixed basic lighting fixtures and adjustable reading fixtures is the best solution. The lamps that provide basic lighting can be semi-recessed downlights, simple chandeliers, linear lamps, etc. If there are decorative paintings on the wall, recessed grille lights, acrylic lights, or wall washers can be used to illuminate the entire wall to provide vertical lighting or decorative lighting.
