1. How to choose the right lighting fixture according to the function of the room?

  • Living Room: The living room is the central area for family activities, requiring sufficient and even lighting. Generally, a chandelier can be selected as the main light source. If the living room is large, wall lamps or floor lamps can be paired to add ambient lighting. For a modern - minimalist - style living room, a chandelier with a simple design is a good choice. In an European - style living room, a crystal chandelier can add a sense of luxury.
  • Bedroom: The lighting in the bedroom should create a warm and comfortable atmosphere to help with relaxation and sleep. You can choose a ceiling light or a simple chandelier for general illumination, and then pair it with bedside table lamps or wall lamps for convenient reading before going to bed. It is recommended to choose warm - toned light (2700K - 3000K).
  • Dining Room: The lighting in the dining room needs to highlight the color of the food and enhance the appetite. The chandelier above the dining table is crucial. Its length and width should match the dining table, and generally, the bottom of the chandelier should be 70 - 80 cm away from the tabletop.
  • Kitchen: The kitchen requires bright and shadow - free lighting for convenient cooking operations. A ceiling light can be used as the overall illumination, and at the same time, install strip lights under the cabinets to illuminate the countertop.
  • Bathroom: The bathroom needs to meet different functional needs such as washing and bathing. A mirror - front light can provide clear facial illumination and avoid shadows. Ceiling lights or waterproof spotlights can be installed in the shower area and above the toilet.

2. What does the color temperature of a lighting fixture mean, and how to choose the right one?

Color temperature is a unit of measurement representing the color components in light, with the unit of Kelvin (K). Lower color temperatures (2700K - 3500K) present warm - yellow light, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere, which is suitable for spaces such as bedrooms and dining rooms. Medium color temperatures (4000K - 5000K) emit light close to natural light, which is bright and comfortable, and are often used in living rooms, kitchens, etc. Higher color temperatures (5000K - 6500K) are cold - white light, providing clear and bright illumination, suitable for spaces where high concentration is required, such as studies or work areas. You can choose the appropriate color temperature according to the functions of different rooms and personal preferences.

3. What are the characteristics of lighting fixtures made of different materials?

  • Glass Material: Glass lighting fixtures usually have good light transmittance, allowing light to be evenly and softly emitted. For example, crystal glass lighting fixtures are crystal - clear and can reflect a bright and resplendent light, often used to create a luxurious and high - end lighting effect, especially suitable for European - style and modern - luxurious - style decorations.
  • Metal Material: Metal lighting fixtures are sturdy and durable. Common metal materials include aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and copper. Aluminum alloy lighting fixtures are relatively light in weight, more affordable, and have good corrosion resistance. Copper lighting fixtures have a high - end texture and are often used in classic - style lighting fixtures. Stainless - steel lighting fixtures are more simple and modern, suitable for industrial - style or minimalist - style spaces.
  • Wood Material: Wood - made lighting fixtures give a natural and warm feeling, adding a cozy atmosphere to the space. They are often used in Japanese - style, Chinese - style, or rural - style decorations. However, attention should be paid to moisture - proofing to avoid wood deformation.
  • Plastic Material: Plastic lighting fixtures are affordable, come in a variety of shapes, and have rich colors, suitable for some cost - sensitive and personalized scenarios. However, their durability is relatively inferior to that of metal and glass materials.

4. What is the color rendering index of a lighting fixture, and is it important?

The color rendering index (CRI) is used to measure the ability of a light source to restore the color of objects, with a value range from 0 - 100. The higher the color rendering index, the closer the color of objects under the light source is to their true color under natural light. For general home lighting, a color rendering index of over 80 can meet daily needs. For places with high color requirements, such as art studios and clothing stores, it is recommended to choose lighting fixtures with a color rendering index above 90 to ensure the accurate presentation of colors.
