You can't buy by feeling. Not only does the living environment have higher requirements for lighting, but with the vigorous development of home design and the continuous advancement of technology, many new or higher-quality lamps are launched on the market every year. However, driven by the market and profit, the quality of lamps on the market is seriously uneven. Therefore, how to choose products with better cost performance from a professional perspective?
First of all, choose the brand according to the cost budget and choose the most suitable lamps. Through the preliminary observation of the lamps, understand whether the size, appearance, color, light source, material, craftsmanship, illuminance, color temperature, beam angle, light effect, glare and other factors of the lamp meet the requirements of the space.
Lamp size
Confirm the size of the selected lamp and whether it can be installed in the design position. For example: whether the size of the recessed luminaire can be installed in the ceiling, and whether the glass curtain wall has enough space to install the luminaire.
Lamp appearance
Check whether the appearance and shape of the luminaire are suitable for space requirements. For example: How to put Chinese-style lamps in a European-style room! How to put Chinese classical lamps in modern buildings?
Lamp color
Observe whether the color of the lamp is in harmony with the space. For example: the color of the surface of the lamp is inconsistent with the ceiling, and it is not uniform.
Light source use
Whether the light source of the luminaire is suitable for use in the space scene. For example: some spaces require the use of incandescent lamps with high color rendering to enhance the atmosphere; some spaces require the use of easily dimmable halogen light sources to switch between different scenes; some require the purchase of affordable energy-saving lamps; some require the use of high brightness, HID lamps with strong penetrating power; some require energy-saving LED light sources.
Illuminance
Confirm whether the illuminance can meet the space requirements. For example: it is required to meet the sufficient illumination in the meeting room when working; it is required to have a warm and relaxing atmosphere with low illumination.
Color temperature
Confirm whether the color temperature can meet the space requirements and whether there is any deviation.
Beam angle
Confirm whether the beam angle meets the space requirements. For example: some spaces require lamps with a wide beam angle to obtain uniform illuminance in the work space; some spaces require lamps with a narrow angle to illuminate the space locally and highlight key lighting.
Light quality
Check whether the light quality of the lamps will affect the quality of the space. For example: whether the light from the lamp is uniform, whether there are light spots of different sizes, whether there is a deviation in the color temperature between each lamp bead, whether the light is broken; whether there are multiple overlapping light and shadows in the light of the lamp, etc.
Color rendering index
Whether the color rendering index of the light source meets the design requirements of the space. For example: a rag doll you bought in a store with poor light color rendering looks different under natural light. If you buy a rag doll from a store with good light color rendering, it is also expected under natural light. In the color. So before choosing a lamp, it is necessary to figure out whether the space has requirements for color rendering.
Glare
Whether the requirements for anti-glare meet the space regulations. For example: In a relatively low space, even if the light does not directly illuminate people’s eyes, it still feels uncomfortable. Therefore, according to the space environment and people’s viewing angle characteristics, choose lamps that can solve the space glare problem, so that people feel comfortable and not dazzling. .
Other important points
Confirm that the optional fixing brackets, transformers and other accessories also meet the space requirements. Because: the same type of lamps, different use environments, the accessories such as brackets are also different, so you must choose appropriate accessories according to the actual situation.
