Lighting is one of the important details in the house, which creates comfort, atmosphere and warmth. In the article you will learn what is important to consider when choosing fixtures.
How to choose the right lamps
On average, 20 watts of power is required to illuminate each square meter. To get the total power of all light sources, you need to multiply the area of \u200b\u200bthe room by 20. Then distribute the resulting power among all the lamps in the room. For example, a room of 20 m² needs a total power of 400 watts.
The higher the ceiling in the room, the greater the volume that needs to be illuminated. For a room with a ceiling height of 3 meters and above, you need to select a lamp with a total power of 25-30% more than in previous calculations. For example, in the same room of 15 sq. meters you need to install a chandelier with 5 horns and lamps of 60 watts.
How to correctly distribute the lamps
Mount lamps closer than 20 cm from the walls; distribute devices at a distance of less than 30 cm from each other; place fixtures at a distance closer than 15 cm from the seams of PVC ceilings.
What lamps are in fashion now
The most fashionable models are not completely transparent, but tinted, for example, smoky, gray-blue or amber shades. They look very elegant and will become a real decoration of the interior.
