For the living room, functionally speaking, it is the best place for a family or relatives and friends to get together, and it is also the core area of the whole family. In this part of the lighting, you need to choose some atmospheric lighting, on the one hand, so that family and guests will not feel depressed; On the other hand, the popularity and wealth of the living room will be fully gathered and will not be left out because of the lighting effect.
2, bedroom lighting: warm
For the bedroom, functionally speaking, this is a rest space, not too flashy. Many people like to make all kinds of tricks in the bedroom, which is totally unnecessary. Just from the perspective of geomantic omen, the bedroom lighting only needs a relatively warm tone to ensure the normal trend of geomantic omen in the bedroom. If the lighting in the bedroom becomes warmer or calmer, it is not conducive to the realization of the function of gathering money in the bedroom.
3, bathroom lighting: simple
From the function of the bathroom, this is a dirty place to clean, and it is also a place where feng shui goes down in the room. The lighting in this place doesn't need to be too gorgeous at all, as long as the basic lighting is guaranteed and there is no big mistake in Feng Shui. Therefore, the lighting of the bathroom only needs to be simple, and the goal of smooth feng shui can be achieved.

Lighting can be divided into three categories according to use: basic lighting, functional lighting and atmosphere lighting. Different lights play different roles in the home environment.
Basic lighting: it plays a role in illuminating the space, such as downlights, spotlights, chandeliers, ceiling lamps, light strips, etc.
Ambient lighting: it plays a role in setting off the atmosphere, such as spotlights, light strips, floor lamps and table lamps.
Functional lighting: it will only be turned on at some special moments, such as bedside lamps, mirror headlights, night lights, reading lights and anti-fog lights.
Different lights have different uses, and of course there will be a mix and match between them, which is suitable for different spaces.
What lamps are suitable for the living room?
Today, I will focus on the choice of living room lamps. Among several lamps suitable for the living room, there are mainly ceiling lamps, chandeliers, floor lamps, spotlights, downlights and ceiling fans.
1, ceiling lamp:
Ceiling lamps are widely used, the top is flat, and the bottom of the whole lamp can be attached to the ceiling, which is very simple and suitable for modern, Chinese, Nordic and Japanese styles.

Floor lamp is a lamp placed on the ground, which is used frequently in the living room and is easy to move. Generally, it is used with sofa and coffee table to achieve the effect of local lighting and contrast atmosphere.
Key points of floor lamp purchase: it is recommended to choose adjustable height and lampshade angle, so that it can be adjusted at any time according to the use of space.
4, spotlights, downlights:
Spotlight and downlight are very similar, but there are many differences between them.
Spotlight: Spotlight is more effective, which can directly illuminate household items, with strong contrast between light and shadow. Generally installed on the TV background wall and sofa wall, it plays a role in setting off the atmosphere.
Downlight: the light gathering effect is slightly weak, generally used with chandeliers, installed on the ceiling, mainly used for lighting.

The ceiling fan lamp can be said to be a great heat in recent years, which not only satisfies the function of the fan, but also plays a role in lighting. Suitable for American, Nordic and modern styles.
First, the main lighting layout points:
The main lamp is arranged in the center of the living room for basic lighting, and ceiling lamp, chandelier and fan lamp are also good choices. Choose style and color temperature according to different home styles.
Second, the main light layout points:
If the living room is intended to be "lighted without main lights", it can also be used as the lighting layout on three bases.
1. Downlights are evenly distributed in the living room, suitable for families with old people and children.
2, spotlights+light strips, light strips can be considered on the sofa background wall, TV background wall, and choose spotlights in the middle.
3. According to the space division layout, there are two in the center of the living room and four around.
Have you chosen the right home lighting? 3 ① Ceiling lamp.
The most common types of lamps in home decoration. As the name implies, the top of the lamp is flat, and the bottom is completely attached to the roof when installed, so it is called a ceiling lamp.

Ceiling lamps have various shapes and are usually used for the overall lighting of living rooms and bedrooms. The ceiling lamp with a diameter of 20 cm is suitable for walkways and bathrooms, and the ceiling lamp with a diameter of 40 cm is suitable for rooms not less than 16 square meters.

Ceiling lamps can use a variety of light sources, such as incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps. At present, LED ceiling lamps are the mainstream in the market. It is recommended to use a lampshade made of acrylic (plexiglass) material, which has a light transmittance of 92%, good toughness, light weight, good atomization effect and good overall luminous effect.

② chandelier
The lamps suspended under the ceiling are divided into single-head chandeliers and multi-head chandeliers. The former is mostly used in bedrooms and restaurants, while the latter is mostly used in living rooms.
Single chandelier
Multi-head pendant lamp
Multi-head chandeliers with complex shapes should be used in high-rise space, and the distance between the lowest point of lamps and lanterns and the ground should be 2. 1 meter or more; The lowest point of the hall chandelier should not be lower than the second floor in the duplex or jump floor.
The chandelier in the duplex hall
A chandelier with an upward lampshade is not recommended. Although the light source is hidden and not dazzling, there are too many disadvantages: collecting dust is easy to get dirty, the lamp holder will block the light, and there are often shadows directly below. The light can only be transmitted by the lampshade and reflected by the ceiling, which is inefficient.
Pendants with upward lampshades are not recommended.
When choosing a multi-head chandelier, the number of lamp holders is generally determined according to the living room area, so that the size of the lamp is in harmony with the size ratio of the living room. But with the increase of lamp holders, the price of lamps has doubled.

Therefore, ceiling fan lamps are especially recommended: the fan blades are scattered in shape, which makes the overall size of the lamp larger, and the fan blades with a diameter of 1.2 meters can be used in a large space of about 20 square meters; The wind speed is adjustable. When it is not too hot in summer, it is more comfortable to turn on the fan to save electricity than to turn on the air conditioner. The fan can be set to reverse, for example, when eating hot pot, it can speed up the air flow without making people feel windy.

It should be noted that the ceiling fan lamp needs to reserve two wires to connect the fan and the lamp respectively; If only one line is reserved, it can be controlled by remote control circuit.
The fan and the light are turned on at the same time.
③ Floor lamp
Lamps composed of lampshades, brackets and bases are easy to move, and are generally arranged in living rooms and rest areas. They are used with sofas and coffee tables to play the role of local lighting and corner atmosphere.
Floor lamp matched with sofa
Light projects directly downward, which is suitable for activities that require concentration, such as reading; You can also use lights as background lighting. Adjusting the height of the light source can change the diameter of the aperture, thus controlling the intensity of light and creating a hazy effect.
▲ Floor lamps projected up and down separately.
The floor lamp beside the sofa should be adjustable in height and lampshade angle, generally 1. 2— 1。 3 meters can not only provide supplementary lighting for reading, but also alleviate the stimulation of the TV screen to the eyes when watching TV.
④ Table lamp
Small lights placed on desks, dining tables and other countertops for reading and working. The irradiation range is small and concentrated, which will not affect the light of the whole room.

Semi-circular opaque lampshade is often used for working desk lamps to focus light. The inner wall of the lampshade has the reflection function, so that the light can be concentrated in the designated area.

The rocker desk lamp is recommended. It is more convenient to adjust with two arms than with one arm. It should be ensured that people can't see the inner wall of the lampshade and the light source when the line of sight is horizontal in normal sitting position.
Double-arm desk lamp
Considering the requirements of eye protection, the color temperature of light should be lower than 5000K, and above this index, blue light is seriously harmful; The color rendering index should be higher than 90, and lower than this index, which is easy to cause visual fatigue.
The harm of blue light means that the blue light contained in the spectrum will cause damage to the retina. However, all light (including sunlight) contains blue light. If blue light is completely removed, the color rendering index of light will be greatly reduced, which will cause visual fatigue far more than the harm of blue light.

⑤ Shooting lamp
Small lights installed around the ceiling, in walls or above furniture are characterized by high concentration, direct irradiation on the objects to be emphasized, strong contrast between light and shadow, and highlighting key points.
Lighting effect of spotlight
Spotlight has a wide range of uses: it can be used with the main light, and it can also be used in the space without the main light, but the number should not be too large to prevent the circuit from being overloaded and unsightly; Can be used for decoration between furniture partitions, display partitions, etc.
The spotlight matches the main light.
There is no main light, only spotlight lighting.
Spotlight is divided into track type, point hanging type and embedded type: track type and point hanging type are installed on the surface of walls and roofs, and embedded type is generally installed in the ceiling.
Tracking spotlight
Embedded spotlight
The light source of spotlights is generally LED beads, which have high fever and cannot irradiate flammable items such as woolen goods at close range; The LED is powered by 12V DC, so it is necessary to install a transformer or choose a spotlight with its own transformer. Poor quality transformer will cause voltage instability, burn out LED, and even lead to spotlight explosion.
⑤ downlight
For the lamps embedded in the ceiling, the ceiling thickness should be above 15 cm, and of course there are external downlights, which are better than ceiling lamps and chandeliers.
Built-in downlight
External downlight
People often can't distinguish downlights from spotlights: downlights generally use energy-saving lamps, and the light is diffuse, while spotlights often use LED light sources, and the light is highly focused; The light of the downlight is fixed downward, and the direction of the light can be adjusted by the spotlight; Downlights are mainly used for lighting, and spotlights are often used to set off the atmosphere.
By understanding different lamps, we can easily see that all kinds of lamps have their own characteristics.
