When choosing interior lighting, one should also remember about lighting parameters, which we choose in terms of the function that the room is to perform. A completely different light will accompany us while eating, a different light when working, and a different light when reading a book on the couch.
When arranging lighting, lamp manufacturers recommend the use of LED technology. Among the many advantages, it is worth mentioning, among others LEDs have a longer lifetime compared to traditional light bulbs, the heating up is significantly smaller during use and the product is more energy-efficient. Additionally, the voltage does not change the color of the lighting. Thanks to these features, the LED luminaire is widely used, from heavy industry to home decoration. Due to the development of LED technology, we get a wide spectrum of choice of color temperature or light power , thanks to which designers have gained new lighting design possibilities.
Guided by both the standards and an attempt to create the right atmosphere in the interior, we must be sure that the lighting we choose is safe . It is assumed that the base minimum amount of light is 100 lux. In a space that requires eyesight concentration, it is advisable to increase this value.
It is equally important to evenly distribute the lighting in the room. Very often, we can meet the density of luminaires in one place rather than spreading them over the entire surface of the ceiling or wall, and they are characterized by a narrow lighting angle, which makes it semi-dark. That is why it is so important to obtain information about the light distribution from the manufacturer.
When choosing professional LED lighting, we can choose any color temperature from 2700K to 6500K. The higher it is, the cooler the light will be. The most commonly used colors are warm white (3000K) and neutral white (4000K). The former is recommended for places of relaxation and rest - bedrooms, living rooms and dining rooms. The second one energizes and guarantees better color rendering, which is why it will be perfect for an office, studio, kitchen or hallway.
It is also worth considering installing a lighting control system, e.g. DALI . It will allow you to adjust the amount of light depending on the user's needs. It can also be equipped with motion sensors and the ability to adjust the lighting to the current level of sunlight in the room. This solution will affect the amount of energy used and will significantly increase the comfort of use.
