The methods and principles of choosing lamps, have you really done a good job in the strategy?


1. Several general directions when choosing lamps and lanterns

1. Safety first

Whether it is hard-packed or other furniture, safety should be the first consideration. Therefore, we should not be greedy when choosing lamps and lanterns, and do not buy "three no products" (no production date, no quality certificate, no manufacturer). Although it is said that branded goods and big manufacturers are not necessarily good, the probability of their "mistakes" must be much lower than that of "three no products". If a fire is caused due to quality problems, it will not be worth the loss.

 

2. Consistent style

Whether it is home decoration or engineering decoration, there are differences in style, European style, Chinese style, modern, pastoral... and so on, each with its own characteristics. This requires us to be as consistent as possible with the decoration style when choosing home furnishing and lighting, whether it is color, shape, or internal light source. Don't be flashy and superfluous.

 

3. Affordable size

Many people have a concept: the brighter the lamps in the home, the better! In fact, this is a misunderstanding in many people's minds. In fact, we need to decide the size of the lamp and the wattage of the light source according to the size and area of the space. This author has published an article to introduce, if you need it, you can find it. (How to choose the right size lamps according to the area of the living room)

 4. Carefully inspect the goods

 

"The goods will not be returned or exchanged after leaving the cabinet", which has become the "clear rule" of many lighting manufacturers. Therefore, we need to do a lighting test on the spot in the lighting store to avoid unnecessary trouble in the later stage. You must know that most of the lamps are made of fragile materials, especially some glass or crystal lamps, and you need to be extra careful.

 

5. Do what you can

 

Whether it is in terms of shape or material, the grade of lamps and lanterns has no boundaries. Just like buying a car, maybe you only planned to buy a 100,000-class family car at first, and then after "flickering" sold by various stores, you finally bought a car of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. The author believes that under the premise that it is consistent with the style, it is more reasonable for the lighting expenditure to account for about 10% of the entire decoration expenditure. Therefore, we should look at style and budget when buying lamps, not the more expensive the better.

 

It is worth mentioning that the styles of lamps and lanterns are updated quickly. We suggest that before purchasing lamps and lanterns (especially some high-cost lamps and lanterns), you should first make a general survey of the lamps and lanterns market. The lamps you bought yourself were prematurely outdated.

 2. Supplementary principles for choosing lamps

 

1. Simplicity: The main function of lamps is lighting, and the secondary function is decoration, and this decoration is "the finishing touch", not the protagonist of decoration. Therefore, we recommend that the lamps and lanterns should be simple, and lamps with too complicated shapes are not conducive to the matching and coordination of the overall decoration. Especially for Chinese and modern styles, it is necessary to have a simple shape of lamps.

 

2. Convenience: The convenience mentioned here mainly refers to the installation, use, maintenance and replacement of lamps after they are purchased. That is to say, before we pay for the purchase, we should have a general understanding of the installation method of the lamps, and fully consider the difficulty of cleaning the lamps and replacing the light source in the future.

 

3, energy saving: home life, can save the province. In the long run, we generally recommend "combined lighting", that is, the main light + auxiliary light for lighting. When the current activity does not require high illumination, we can only turn on auxiliary lights (such as floor lamps, table lamps). Or, if conditions permit, we can consider a smart lighting system that adjusts the intensity of the light as needed.

 

4. Function: This point will involve the knowledge of lighting design. Generally speaking, the living room needs bright and gorgeous lamps, the bedroom needs low color temperature, non-glare lamps, the children's room needs bright colors and "cute" lamps, the bathroom needs simple and waterproof lamps, and the kitchen requires lamps The material is easy to wipe and clean.
