Traditional main lighting is usually centered around stylized decorative headlights to create the ambiance of the space. Although the brightness of the entire space is achieved but there are still a lot of light dead ends and shadow parts, can not control the overall situation, and the design style is more difficult to break through.
And compared to traditional main lighting, no main lighting abandoned a single large chandelier, it is a combination of downlights, spotlights, light strips, floor lamps and other lamps, instead of the traditional chandelier. The combination and collocation of multiple light sources can well create a comfortable space atmosphere, make the space more layered, achieve visual extension, and make the whole space look less single.
To summarize the simple differences between the two: With the main lighting space overall bright, but can not switch the tone and living scenarios, while no main lighting space overall dark, but can be controlled according to the need to change the lighting in each area.
Home lighting how to match the main light and no main light?
Before layering the lighting, the first step is the planning of the function of the home space. Meeting, cooking, dining, bathing, leisure, work, different functional areas, different requirements for lamps and lanterns, but they can all be light layout from the following levels to achieve a good lighting effect.
First layer: basic lighting
The chandeliers and ceiling lights commonly used in traditional homes assume such a function. This type of direct lighting has the advantage of energy efficiency, but often greatly reduced in aesthetics.
Indirect lighting, which we often refer to as the use of reflected light for lighting brightening. The light is reflected through the ceiling or wall, softer and more comfortable. Such as no main lighting design is often used in the strip, downlight, track lights, etc., through the diffuse reflection of light to the ceiling, or the lamps themselves shading angle to achieve anti-glare effect, to create a comfortable home lighting.
Second layer: enhanced lighting
Basic lighting can not ensure that all corners of the room can have uniform illumination, you need to use other lights (such as floor lamps or downlights) to supplement the light to ensure that the corresponding area has sufficient brightness. Moreover, at different times of the day, the brightness, angle and direction of the light needed indoors are different. In some cases, we do not need the "main light" effect of the lamps, but choose to turn on the "fill light" lamps, the effect will be better.
Note: Before selecting and designing the lights, make sure that the different levels of lights set up come from different circuits, which can bring more flexibility to the lighting and make it easier to choose when to use which lights.
Third layer: functional lighting
Functional lighting, that is, special scenes to meet the special practical functions of the lighting.
In the home environment, the brightness required for each space is different. For example, the bedroom and study: one is the main rest function, the light is also based on soft indirect light; one is a working environment, the need for more focused light and higher illumination. Similar to the study and work area are the kitchen and storage areas such as closets, cabinets, and dining sideboards. How do they match the use of light between them?
In the study and work area, use desk lamps or anti-glare chandeliers to provide more focused lighting, reduce "darkness under the lights" and provide a better lighting environment. Closets, cabinets, sideboards and other storage areas, we can choose to have a certain angle of the downlight, or placed in the cabinet induction lamps, light strips, which can be arranged in the storage area of the appropriate light.
Likewise, functional lighting should also consider the installation angle and direction, such as the light directed at the mirror will be reflected at the same angle, the reflected light needs to be able to hit the human face. At this point, the use of adjustable direction of the spotlight will be much better than the use of downward direct downlighting effect.
The average family, with the appropriate arrangement of the above three layers, can have good results.
Fourth layer: local display lighting
Whether it is artwork, handicrafts, or just a bouquet of flowers, greenery, photo walls, these are the "memory points" in the home space. With different lighting, more can play a role in strengthening the decorative effect and creating a sense of space texture.
Artworks such as sculptures can be arranged with direct spotlights above, while decorative paintings can be selected according to different types (different beam angle sizes) of spotlights.
Fifth layer: ambient lighting
The lamps themselves have a certain decorative effect and will bring a special atmosphere and mood, like dining chandeliers, bedside lamps in the bedroom, bathroom lights, etc. Before laying out the lighting should consider the atmosphere and mood that you want to experience in the space. Atmosphere and mood in addition to the effect of the light itself, but also with the location and angle of installation.
Sixth layer: level lighting
Interior space is a three-dimensional space, ceilings, walls, floors, lighting in different locations with lighting and color in high and low places, able to outline the architectural contours and create a sense of beauty in the home.
The installation of some hidden upward shining lights on the floor to illuminate the footer, hallway, which is also for safety reasons for families with elderly people.
The use of removable light sources, such as table lamps, socket tabletop spotlights, allows for more flexible lighting arrangements, which can also be a salvageable method for those less successful home lighting.
In short, the ultimate purpose of home lighting is comfort, according to their needs, according to the above levels of lighting layout, best spotlights custom, you can create a suitable lighting effect.
