Q: How to choose lighting fixtures for different rooms?
A:
-
Bedroom: Opt for warm-toned, soft lighting like ceiling lamps or wall lamps, paired with bedside/table lamps for reading.
-
Living Room: Select chandeliers, modular fixtures, or floor lamps based on space size and décor style, combining warm and cool lighting.
-
Kitchen: Choose bright, functional ceiling or pendant lights with spotlights for task areas.
-
Study: Prioritize cool-toned lamps with high Color Rendering Index (CRI ≥90) for accurate color representation.
-
Bathroom: Use moisture-proof and fog-resistant mirror front lights paired with ceiling lights.
Q: How to determine if a light is glaring?
A:
Check the Unified Glare Rating (UGR) – the national standard recommends UGR ≤22 (lower values reduce glare). Test by observing the light from multiple angles after installation.
Q: What is a "main-light-free design"? What are its benefits?
A:
This design replaces a single central fixture with layered lighting (e.g., downlights, spotlights, table lamps). Benefits include:
-
Enhanced spatial atmosphere and depth
-
Flexible zoning for varied lighting needs
-
Personalized aesthetic control
Q: What are the advantages of LED lighting?
A:
LEDs offer:
-
Energy efficiency (90–130+ lm/W, outperforming incandescent/fluorescent bulbs)
-
Long lifespan (up to 50,000 hours)
-
Rich color options (adjustable color temperatures)
-
Cost savings over time
Q: How to select the right Color Rendering Index (CRI)?
A:
-
General indoor use: CRI ≥80
-
Color-critical spaces (galleries, retail displays): CRI ≥90
Q: What is "beam angle" and why does it matter?
A:
Beam angle refers to the spread of light where intensity drops to 50% at the edges. Common angles:
-
Narrow (15°–24°): Accent lighting (artwork, décor)
-
Medium (38°–45°): Task lighting
-
Wide (60°+): Ambient illumination
Q: How to avoid harmful light flicker?
A:
Choose fixtures meeting China’s flicker-free standard (≥3125Hz). Test using a smartphone camera: no visible scrolling bars = minimal flicker.
Q: What materials are used for lighting fixtures? How to choose?
A:
-
Metal (aluminum/stainless steel): Durable, heat-dissipating, premium
-
Plastic: Lightweight, affordable (quality varies)
-
Glass: Aesthetic appeal, optimal light diffusion
Select based on environment (e.g., moisture-resistant for bathrooms) and style preferences.
Q: How to match fixture size with room dimensions?
A:
-
Small spaces: Compact, minimalist designs (avoid oversized fixtures)
-
Large areas (living/dining rooms): Statement chandeliers or modular systems for visual impact
