Whether it is commercial lighting or home lighting, we will use a variety of lamps. Some are used as main lights, some are used as auxiliary lights, some are used for lighting, and some are used for decoration. So, what are the types of these lamps and lighting fixtures, chandeliers, wall lamps, table lamps, ceiling lamps... What are their advantages and functions? Here, the author roughly summarizes them as follows:
1. Chandeliers
Also known as suspension lamps, there are two types of hanging rods and hanging wires. Usually, we also subdivide chandeliers into home interior lighting chandeliers and engineering chandeliers for large commercial spaces. The characteristics of chandeliers are high-end and atmospheric, especially in some large commercial spaces, a set of luxurious engineering chandeliers can add a lot of points to the grade of the entire space. It is worth mentioning that chandeliers are mostly used as main lighting lamps in home spaces, but if the height of the home space is not enough (less than 2.6m), we think it is not suitable to install chandeliers.
In terms of style, chandeliers have two types: lampshades facing up and lampshades facing down. The author recommends choosing lampshades with openings facing up, which will avoid dazzling glare.
TIPS: There is now a retractable chandelier (the hanging rod or hanging chain can be freely retracted), which to some extent broadens the application scenarios of the chandelier.
2. Ceiling lamp
This is a lamp that is close to the ceiling, so it is called a ceiling lamp. Ceiling lamps are widely used in home lighting, among which the living room, bedroom, bathroom, and balcony are more commonly used. They can save space and have a good decorative effect. In addition, the size and floor height of the home space do not have much restrictions on ceiling lamps.
In commercial spaces, such as some aisles and corridors, there are usually multiple ceiling lamps in combination, making the space more extensible and interesting.
3. Wall lamp
This type of lamp is mainly divided into two types: wall-mounted and cantilevered. It is mostly used in the entrance, bedside, mirror and other spaces of the home space. It is installed on walls and pillars for decorative effects.
For commercial spaces, it is mainly used in aisles and corridors to guide customers, and it can also play a good decorative and energy-saving role.
It is worth mentioning that since the installation height is closer to the height of the human eye, special attention should be paid to the installation height of the wall lamp. Based on past experience, the author believes that the installation height of the general wall lamp is 144-185cm from the working surface, 224-265cm from the ground, and the distance from the wall is about 9.5-40cm.
TIPS: The bedside wall lamp can be closer to the ground, preferably within the range of 140-170cm.
4. Floor lamp
Also known as floor lamp, it is mostly used for local lighting in spaces such as home living rooms, bedrooms, and hotel rooms, mainly for decoration and auxiliary lighting. Of course, there are also a few owners who choose floor lamps with larger lamp bodies as the main lighting lamps.
When you need to read or do handicrafts on the sofa in the living room, turning off the main light and turning on the floor lamp is an energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and interesting way of life. And, since it is not fixed, you can move it at will according to your needs, as long as there is a socket.
It should be noted that the height of the floor lampshade should be lower than the human visual plane.
5. Table lamp
For home lighting, among the auxiliary lighting fixtures, table lamps can be said to be the most commonly used. Living room sofas, low cabinets, TV walls, study rooms, and bedrooms can all be decorated with table lamps.
In commercial places, table lamps are mainly used at reception desks and guest rooms, especially when getting up at night, table lamps are very practical.
Nowadays, there are many reading and writing table lamps that claim to protect eyes, but in fact, they cannot really protect eyes. When choosing, try to choose products from regular manufacturers.
Of course, the commonly used lighting fixtures are far more than the above types. The frequency of use of tube spotlights and light strips in home lighting is also very high, and it is getting higher and higher. Like the popular design without main lights, it is mainly realized by using tubes, spotlights, and light strips. We will write a special article to explain it later.
