Interior lighting - consider your needs
General lighting to illuminate the room
This light source needs to be powerful enough to reach every nook and cranny. It's usually a ceiling light. However, in a large room, it is advisable to install several lamps to guarantee sufficient lighting without causing glare.Â
Functional lighting - light right where you need it
Then consider accent lighting. Mounted on walls, furniture or the floor, these light sources create a comfortably lit area while preventing the room from being flooded with light. Spot lighting can be used to direct light onto the dining table or kitchen worktop. In a bedroom, a spotlight installed at the headboard makes reading more comfortable. In the bathroom, this type of lighting is invaluable for applying make-up or shaving.
Decorative lighting to highlight
Finally, lighting can be used to enhance the interior or exterior design of the home, highlighting an architectural feature, knick-knacks, a painting or a work of art. In this case, the precision of the light beam is of prime importance, allowing you to play with volumes and the perception of space.
luminous intensity the power of light
Lighting quality also depends on luminous flux, i.e. the intensity of radiation. A bulb can be more or less effective depending on the number of lumens. Dimmers allow you to play with brightness, and with a single lamp you can create a toned-down or subdued atmosphere.
Light color Shade white to optimize comfort
White light is available in a wide variety of shades: warm white, neutral white and daylight white. Incandescent bulbs have always been warm white, while LED lamps are available in all three color ranges. On some recent models of LED bulbs or floor lamps, it's even possible to change color and intensity gradually.
Light can have a stimulating or calming effect on human beings. Warm light has a calming and relaxing effect. It is therefore particularly suitable for living rooms or bedrooms. Cool light makes rooms appear larger. What's more, with its high proportion of blue, it has a stimulating effect, promoting concentration and performance. Cool light is therefore ideal for functional lighting.
