Lighting is one of those things
that can make or break a space. No matter how nicely you decorate your home,
incorporate designer furniture and what not, if the lighting is not good, the
whole vibe of the room will seem off. The light needs to be set in the end
keeping the aesthetic of the room in mind and the atmosphere and feel you are
looking to create. A 13W Dimmable Downlight is the perfect light to be
used in any room of the house. Not only that but downlights prove to do
exceedingly well in commercial settings as well.
The primary reason for downlight
being so popular nowadays is that contrary to its opposite i.e. spot light, a
downlight disperses light quite evenly. Owing to its even and broad dispersion
it is the choice of light for interior designers to use in larger areas. In
commercial areas it is used exceedingly in office spaces, factories, hospitals
and other areas which need even and maximum dispersion of light. Unlike light
bulbs and other types of lights, these can be spaced out more and used
sparingly without compromising on brightness.
While in most commercial settings,
the choice of colour for lighting is white or off white, at homes or in offices
the lighting can and should be somewhat different. The use of white lights in
these places is primarily because it makes people more productive and
energetic. In bedrooms, white light is generally avoided because of the same
reasons as it can interrupt and disrupt your sleep and sleeping pattern
respectively. Blue light also falls in the same category and can hinder you
from falling asleep. It keeps the brain active which is why it is advised to
not use one’s phone at night right about at bedtime so you may easily fall
asleep.
Let us now discuss what type of
lights may work best in certain areas of a home.
Starting from the hallway or the corridor, a single 13W dimmable LED
downlight will work perfectly fine placed in the middle. Because of its
excellent dispersion the whole hallway will be illuminated and the LED which
produces the light saves up energy as well. Using LED though may be a little
expensive when buying but they do tend to lower your electricity bills. The
dimming factor will work amazingly in the hallway because at night, not
everyone appreciates a brightly lit hallway. Dimming the light to just enough
intensity that everything is illuminated and it is not offensively harsh is a
good mid-point.
Moving onto the sitting room, this
needs to be a fairly well lit room. The amount of light may be standard but the
colour of the light should be yellow, golden. Light yellow and golden light has
a calming and relaxing effect on humans and you definitely want your guests to
feel at ease at your place. The whole house in my opinion needs to be
incorporated with golden or yellow light instead of white because yellow light
simply put just makes the whole atmosphere look different.
In your bedroom you might only need a single or double LED lights if you
want a brightly lit room. To be able to relax you can dim the lights down and
when getting ready to go somewhere, you can rack the light up to get a perfect
makeup application.
