How to optimize your lighting in the house?

Favor natural light

For many reasons, natural light is by far the best lighting. Even if today LED lighting has many advantages such as its low consumption , sunlight obviously remains the most economical but also the most pleasant and the most efficient . A large window in a sunny room during the day is worth all the lights in the world.

Exposure to sunlight as well as the location of openings and their sizes are therefore a criterion to take into account when choosing accommodation. In addition, it is important to keep them clear, that is to say, not to install any furniture that would hide the light. Curtains that are too thick or even blackout should also be avoided, especially if you have to leave them closed permanently to protect your privacy.

Each light has its functionality

Whether to face the night or in the case where the openings are insufficient to illuminate your interior, you will need to equip yourself with LED lighting . And this is where things get a little complicated. We do not choose just any light fixture for just any use: each type of light fixture has its own specificities and cannot be used in all circumstances.

For example, placing a lamp on a table or worktop in the kitchen is not relevant. The light will be strongest at the base of the lamp, which is not useful in a kitchen. Additionally, the illuminated area will be minimal. Lighting fully contributes to the ambiance of this living room, often at the heart of a home. Global lighting will not be suitable either since it will be either too weak or too bright and therefore not very pleasant. The ideal for this room is therefore the dirigible wall light, to be tilted where the action takes place: mainly towards the table or work surfaces.

Multiply light sources

To stay with the theme of the kitchen, if it is large, a single wall light will not be enough, even if it has several bulbs. You may need to consider installing several of them in strategic locations. For example, you can choose a pendant light above the dining table and wall lights for the preparation area. The multiplication valid for all pieces. No room can be satisfied with a single light source, except perhaps a storage room, and even then, only if it is rarely used.

Multiplying the sources of light in the same room is surely the key to optimizing its lighting. This is what is often done in a bedroom where in addition to a pendant lamp useful for moving around the room, there are generally bedside lamps intended to illuminate the bed, for evening reading, for example. . It is this model that must be followed to effectively illuminate your interior and have a positive effect on your morale.

Each volume has its own layout and shape

Depending on the room, its uses, its size and its shape, the number and location of lighting fixtures necessarily varies. This is why it is difficult to give precise instructions because each interior is different.

However, we can only advise you to install a light fixture in each “corner”, depending on its usefulness. In a living room, you can place a table lamps" href="https://www.lumeers.com/collections/lampes-a-poser">lamp to place on the TV stand, near the television so as not to damage your eyes in the evening, or a floor lamp to illuminate.
