Have you noticed how artificial lighting hurts your eyes in the evening and does not give you the opportunity to relax after a long day at work? Or do you feel like reading a book and the light is too bright?

All this can be solved, you just need to know how to choose the right lighting.

The requirements for the lighting of the home are rather high, since it has a significant impact on the psychological state of a person. Each of us has our favorite colors that raise our mood or set us up to a certain wave. There are also colors that are annoying, unpleasant to the eye, which are repulsive. The same thing happens with light, but at the same time, imperceptibly for a person, because it is difficult to imagine that the psychological state is caused by the wrong light. So take a look at the tips below.

Each lighting fixture has its own purpose. A chandelier is needed for even illumination of the entire space, a floor lamp and sconces for spot lighting of the corner.

To begin with, it should be noted that the light of electric lamps is classified by temperature, which is measured in Kelvin (not to be confused with the temperature of the lamp). On the packaging of lamps, either the shade of light that the lamp gives, or the color temperature in Kelvin, which is given below, is always indicated:

• 2700 - 3500 K - warm yellow light for sconces and floor lamps, bedside lamps in the bedroom and nursery, living room, chandelier above the dining table, at which you gather in the evenings
• 3500 - 5300 K - daylight, which is perfect for lighting fixtures in living rooms, for chandeliers and wall lamps, for kitchens and offices. Works well in ceiling and pendant lights
• 5300 - 6500 K - cold bluish color, which is used in museums, jewelry stores, display cases for lighting.

Basic types of lighting

• Basic lighting serves to illuminate the entire space. It can be chandeliers, ceiling lighting

• Work lighting is a bright light that concentrates on a specific object. A good solution for the kitchen in the area of the sink, table, stove. It is also convenient to use such lighting in the bathroom, above the mirror

•  Accent lighting is spot lighting that is used to highlight a desired subject. It could be a painting, a family photo, an expensive vase. If you decide to highlight your favorite houseplant, make sure that the selected light and color temperature are suitable for the plants, otherwise you risk harming your green friend

• Decorative lighting does not carry the workload. It complements the overall design of a room or a specific romantic setting. These are candles, decorative lamps, etc. LED strips can be attributed to the same segment.

Having picked up a lighting fixture and decided on the color temperature, you can buy lamps. Make sure that their plinths fit into the socket of the appliance. Also think about remote controlled and Wi-Fi lights.

It is also important to make sure that the device you have selected operates on a 220 volt network. If the device operates on a different voltage, but you really like it and you certainly want to buy a personalized one, then purchase a transformer that converts the voltage.

So, when choosing lighting for rest rooms, such as bedrooms, nurseries, pay attention to lamps, the color temperature of which will be 2700 - 3500 K. Warm yellow shades help to relax the organism before going to bed.

Anything above 3500 K belongs to the daylight segment. Such lighting is suitable for places where attention is needed. These are kitchens, offices, a lamp on the desktop.
