The key points for the lighting design of the living room and dining room

The feeling of one light per room and multiple lights dispersed

one light one room

        The effect of using ceiling light in the room. The indoor brightness is even, and the ceiling light illuminates the entire space and creates an ordinary atmosphere.

multiple lights dispersed

        Use different types of lights to install fixtures at different heights and places. This helps to light up specific areas effectively. Compared with one light per room, the three-dimensional sense of space is more obvious. In addition, we can also choose the specific lighting fixture switch method according to the purpose.

Selectively use overall direct lighting and indirect lighting

        · Downlights with wide beams are better for general lighting. They can provide an average floor brightness of 50 to 100 lux.

        · Think about various uses for the space in advance. Distinguish between the switches for the living room and dining room. Incorporate dimmers for enhanced control over lighting.

        · Even the same lighting will give people different feelings under the influence of the ceiling, walls, and floor.

Basic principles for configuring lights

① Use pendant lights above the dining table

        · When placing a single pendant lamp, the fixture's diameter should be about one-third of the table's long side.

        · When setting up a group of lights, take the diameter of the fixture. Divide the long side of the table by the number of lights. Use one-third of that result as a standard.

        · If you install track rail, you can easily add and move lighting fixtures. This is very convenient, even if the table's size and position change.

        · When hanging the pendant light, we must consider whether we can see the other person's face when sitting down.

② Use downlights above the dining table

        · Install lights above the table at close intervals so that the tabletop can receive 200~500lx of illumination.

        · If there is an adjustable downlight or a floor-standing spotlight with a movable lamp head, you can change the angle of light to be suitable for different situations.

Dimming of living room and dining room

        In situations where multiple types lights are scattered, you can achieve a variety of display methods by combining dimming.

① During dinner

        A 100% pendant light on the dining table

        B 80% downlight illuminating the wall

        C 50% floor light

        D 80% indirect lighting on the wall

        E 0~20% basic downlight

② Gathering

        A Pendant light on the dining table 0~20%

        B Downlight illuminating the wall 30%

        C Floor light 80%~100%

        D Indirect lighting on the wall 80%

        E Basic downlight 20~100%

*The position of the basic downlight is adjusted according to the occasion of the event.

Lighting case of living room and dining room

        · No pendant lights are used. Instead, downlights are installed above the dining table. This helps to light up the table where people gather.

        · Light is used to illuminate the walls to create a living room and dining room without a sense of closure.
