Are you confused on choosing what type of bulb appropriate for your room? If “Yes” you should not confused or had to summon all the interior design consultant, only to determine what the light is right for your space.
To choose the right lamp or in accordance with the type of application usage on your space, you need to see some of the parameters and the type present in the lamp specification. Here are some of the parameters and type present you need to see because it is closely related to the application :
Color Rendering
In the catalog of light, unit used to distinguish the color of light or normal lighting called is often abbreviated as Kelvin or K. The higher the Kelvin number it (usually in thousands of units) the more bluish white light color you get. The lower Kelvin number it will be more reddish yellow color of the light bulbs.
If your space application is for relaxation, for the bedroom, dining room, family room then you better choose the color of a yellow light, do not use the white color. Why ? Because soft yellow color pleasant to feel relaxed and rested. Conversely, if the application for serious nuanced workspace, choose white color.
My question is what if the room had a dual function? Easy, arrange the room lighting system into two groups, one group of lights with yellow light and one group with white light and then put the series into two groups switch.
Lumen
Unit differentiating light bulb strength is the Lumen. The higher the lumen’s unit of a lamp, the more high-bright light the light bulb produce. A Good lights are ideal, the high of the lumen ratio above 50 lm / W. Even now in the market already exists a Energy Saving lamps with quite high lumen’s per watt, namely 60 lm / W.
Do not use the lights are too bright in the room. Why ? Because more dim light, soft or not too light, will create more comfortable space to feel relaxed and rested. Conversely, if the application for serious nuanced workspace, choose the wattage and high lumen.
As an illustration, if your room size 9 M2 and serves as a bedroom, approximately 300 lumen’s lamp is enough to illuminate your space.
