Dining Room Lighting/Restaurant Lighting:

A restaurant is a place for family gatherings. Ceiling lights or dining room pendant lights are usually used.

Of course, the focus of family restaurant lighting is the table. Generally, vertical chandeliers can be used for lighting. In order to achieve this effect, the chandelier should not be installed too high but should be installed at the height of the line of sight of the meal.

For rectangular dining tables, please install two chandeliers or oval chandeliers. Chandeliers should have dimming and lifting functions so that they can also be used for other tasks.

Chinese cuisine pays attention to color, aroma, taste, and shape, and usually requires bright lighting and warm colors. When enjoying Western food, if the light is slightly darker and softer, you can create a romantic atmosphere.

Living Room Lighting:

The living room lighting should be conducive to creating a stable and generous, warm and enthusiastic atmosphere, making the guests feel at home and intimate. Generally, a ceiling lamp, a pendant lamp, or a chandelier can be installed in the center of the room as the main light, the lighting style would match your house style.

If the back panel of the sofa is hung with banners, calligraphy, and painting, two wall lamps of a suitable size can be installed on both sides of the calligraphy and painting, and a floor lamp can be placed beside the sofa. Such a lighting arrangement is stable and generous, and the light source can be selected according to different needs.

Bedroom Lighting:

The starting point of bedroom lighting is the main light source based on overall lighting, plus decorative lighting and accent lighting to create a space atmosphere.

Generally, we can use a ceiling lamp as the main light source and set up wall lamps, small spotlights or luminous lamp troughs, downlights, etc. as decorative or accent lighting to reduce the contrast of indoor lighting.

If we have the habit of reading in bed, it is recommended to place a dimmable table lamp directly at the head of the bed, and install energy-saving lamps or cold-light halogen lamps in the lamps to avoid eye fatigue.

The bedroom is a room for rest and sleep and requires better privacy. The light needs to be soft and there should be no glare so that people can easily fall asleep.

Study Room Lighting:

The study room is a place for family members to work and study, which requires higher illumination. For general work and research lighting, local lighting equipment can be used, preferably incandescent lamps with a higher power.

The main lighting equipment can be modern chandeliers or fluorescent lights, and the location may not be in the center. It can be determined according to the specific situation of the room. The shape and style of the lamp should not be too gorgeous. It is best to be elegant and modern to create a quiet and comfortable environment for people to read.

Kitchen Lighting:

Kitchen lighting must be practical. The choice of kitchen light should be based on function. The top center is equipped with a built-in ceiling lamp or a waterproof and dustproof ceiling lamp to highlight the bright and clean sense of the kitchen.

When doing fine housework, it is best to install local lighting in the work area, such as ceiling spotlights or fluorescent tubes under the closet, and some range hoods also have their own lighting equipment. Please note that the selected lamps should be waterproof and dustproof, safe, and easy to clean.

Bathroom Lighting:

The main lighting equipment installed in toilets and bathrooms can be ceiling lights or recessed lights that are waterproof and dustproof. The color temperature of the light source should be cool.
