Home lighting has evolved from the initial light bulbs to incandescent bulbs, LED strips, ceiling lights, crystal chandeliers, and so on. Nowadays, there are various types of lighting fixtures available, and there are many material styles available. Ceiling lights are also one of the common indoor lighting fixtures, with different sizes. So, how to choose the size of ceiling lights? What are the precautions for selecting the size of ceiling lights?
How to choose the size of the ceiling light?
Ceiling lamps can be directly attached to the ceiling, with incandescent lamps as the main light source. The lighting methods generally include downward projection, astigmatism, and full illumination. When choosing the size of a ceiling light, first consider the range in which the ceiling light is used. If used as a light source in the living room, it is necessary to choose an astigmatic or fully illuminated type; Restaurants often choose downward projection lighting methods; The bedroom light source needs to be soft, and scattered lighting can be selected. Secondly, we need to consider the lighting area. For example, if the lighting area is about 15 square meters, it is better to have a ceiling light diameter of 40cm; If the lighting area is between 20-35 square meters, it is more appropriate to choose a diameter of 60-70cm for the ceiling lamp. For larger spaces, two ceiling lights can be selected, adopting a dual lighting mode.
1. Dimensions of balcony ceiling lights
About ten watts is enough, and a clothes rack is usually installed on the balcony. If the light is too large, it is not suitable for installation, and if the wattage is too high, it is also a waste. In addition, there is a requirement between the size of the space and the wattage of the lamp. Generally, 3-5 watts per square meter is the optimal illuminance. Of course, for irregular spaces, this cannot be completely followed.
2. Bedroom ceiling light size
The size of the bedroom is directly proportional to the size of the lamp and light source, so when choosing a bedroom ceiling light, one must first know the size, height, and other factors of the bedroom. Generally speaking, if the bedroom size is less than 10 square meters, choose a ceiling light with a diameter of less than 45cm. The light source size of a ceiling light with a diameter of less than 45cm is about 100W; For bedrooms with a size of 10-20 square meters, choose a ceiling light with a diameter of about 60cm and a light source wattage of around 200W; For bedrooms with a size of 20-30 square meters, the diameter of the ceiling light should be around 800cm. The light source for this size of ceiling light is around 300-400W. If the bedroom is a bit larger, you can choose a ceiling light with a size of 1000cm or more.
3. Size of living room ceiling light
The most important factor in selecting the size of the living room ceiling light is the area and layout of the living room. Generally speaking, small living rooms below 12 square meters should use ceiling lights with a diameter of less than 20CM, and the number and size of lighting fixtures should be suitable to avoid appearing too crowded; A living room lighting fixture with an area of about 15 square meters can fully meet our lighting needs with a diameter of 30cm, and the maximum diameter should not exceed 40cm. If the diameter exceeds 40cm, it will appear that the ceiling light is not in harmony with the living room.
4. Size of bathroom ceiling light
Nowadays, most bathrooms are equipped with suspended ceilings, and the size of the ceiling buckle plate in bathrooms is mostly 30 * 30cm. Therefore, it is recommended to choose LED ceiling lights based on the size of the buckle plate. If the bathroom is relatively large, install mirror lights or spotlights on the mirror in the bathroom, which can be combined.
Precautions for selecting the size of ceiling lights:
1. The size selection of ceiling lights should be determined based on the layout. If our living room is rectangular, simple ceiling lights may not meet our needs. At this time, we can use other lighting fixtures such as spotlights and wall lights to meet our daily needs.
2. The size selection of ceiling lights should be determined based on the decoration style. If our house decoration style is grand European classical style, then we need to choose a suitable ceiling light. Generally, it is more suitable for classical ceiling crystals that appear more atmospheric, and not for other smaller crystal lights.
3. The size of the ceiling light should be determined based on the lighting area. Be careful not to use too small ceiling lights, as they may appear empty in the ceiling. Also, do not use too large ceiling lights, as they may appear overwhelming.
4. There are two types of ceiling lights with and without remote control. The ceiling light with remote control is convenient to switch and is suitable for use in bedrooms.
5. The material of the lampshade for ceiling lights is generally plastic or organic glass. Glass lampshades are currently rarely used, while plastic and organic glass are convenient for cleaning ceiling lights.
