1. In the kitchen cooking, the lighting must be sufficient. In addition to the overall lighting, there should be wall lamps for local lighting, chandeliers on the work surface, and hidden lights at the bottom of the cabinet. Otherwise, insufficient lighting will cause inconvenience in actual work.
2. Generally speaking, for open kitchen cabinets, whether they are in-line, L-shaped or U-shaped cabinets, the light source is mostly in the form of ceiling embedded spotlights, the number varies from 6 to 10, generally do not use ceiling lights, because it There is no condensing light, only astigmatism, so it is not suitable to install in the kitchen. The light source should be warm light as much as possible. This kind of light is very beautiful.

4. The lamp should be installed as far away as possible from the stove to avoid the lampblack and water vapor from directly contaminating the lamp. The parts in the switch and socket must have good airtightness, so as to prevent leakage accidents.
5. There are generally two types of lamps for kitchens, four-lamp lifting chandelier and movable lamp. The shade of the four-lamp chandelier is made of plastic and is semi-shielded. There is also a pull switch in the middle. For movable lamps, it It has a movable coffee table with a base, which can slide, not only for lighting and decoration, but also for easy use. The kitchen has a high temperature, so it is suitable to use cold-color lamps, so that it can create a sense of comfort when the lighting is sufficient.
6. The method of lighting can be arranged according to how much space the open kitchen occupies. If the kitchen area reaches 10 square meters, in order to ensure the brightness, 9 lights can be used. You can install 8 lights around and 1 in the middle. , The wattage of each spotlight does not need to be too high, and an adjustable switch should be prepared. If the kitchen area is only 6-7 square meters, 6 spotlights are enough for the kitchen. The layout is compared with the arrangement of 2 horizontal and 3 vertical. Beautiful.
7. The lighting layout of the kitchen needs to consider the level, one is the lighting of the entire kitchen, the other is the lighting of the washing and stove; the former effect is very easy to achieve, you only need to install a ceiling lamp suitable for your own kitchen on the ceiling, while the latter generally can Local lights are arranged in the lower part of the wall cabinet, and convenient switch devices are set up. Generally, cookers have lamps for range hoods, which have been able to meet the requirements.
8. If it is an open kitchen, the lighting design is different during the decoration process. Because the light area of the open kitchen is relatively large, when repeating the overall lighting design, you can choose spotlights or downlights embedded in the ceiling for decoration Of course, in order to facilitate the use of the console, some lamps will be installed under the wall cabinet for installation. Naturally, a convenient switch device is also required.
9. The lighting system of the kitchen should be set to be adjustable, so when the light is dim or dazzling, it can be adjusted. People will also feel more comfortable and comfortable. Don't just install a single lighting source in the center of the kitchen. Kitchen lighting is more complete, and a multi-level lighting system composed of different lamps and light sources should be installed in the kitchen.
10. If the room has a high floor height, you can also use a chandelier in the middle of the open kitchen, surrounded by spotlights, and the shape of the lamp must not be too complicated, so as not to cause trouble for future cleaning work.
