Different rooms require different types of bulbs. The right lighting not only illuminates dim areas but can also completely transform a room's atmosphere and influence one's mood and emotions. Below are specific recommendations for each room.
Q: What kind of bulb is suitable for the living room?
A: As the center of activity, the living room requires bright, warm lighting. If a central chandelier is hung, it's recommended to choose a neutral light with a color temperature of 4000K or lower. A higher color temperature can appear cold and lack a sense of intimacy. The total brightness of the living room should be around 1500-3000 lumens to avoid glare.
Q: How should I choose a bulb for the dining room?
A: Illumination is crucial in a dining room, as light sources are typically concentrated around the dining table, dining cabinets, or sideboards. When installing dining room pendant lights, we recommend choosing warm white light with a color temperature around 3000K and a total brightness of around 3000-6000 lumens. This warm light level makes food appear more appealing and delicious.
Q: What kind of light bulb is suitable for the kitchen?
A: Kitchens prioritize bright light over ambiance. We recommend bright white or fluorescent bulbs around 5500K for better illumination during cooking and food preparation. Also, consider a color rendering index (CRI) of at least 90 to enhance color clarity, as food preparation relies on accurate color perception. A total brightness of between 5000 and 10,000 lumens is ideal to ensure maximum visibility throughout the kitchen.
Q: What kind of light bulb is suitable for the bedroom?
A: The bedroom is a place for rest and relaxation, and the lighting should be soft and comfortable. We recommend bulbs with a lower color temperature of 2500 to 3000K, combined with warm white bulbs. Avoid bright white light bulbs and fluorescent bulbs, as they can make people alert, suppress melatonin production, and hinder relaxation. A medium-sized bedroom should have a brightness range of 1000 to 2000 lumens, sufficient for reading without disrupting sleep.
Q: What kind of light bulb is best for studying in a study room?
A: The best lighting for studying is natural sunlight that simulates sunlight. Natural light is closer to a bright white, so a cool color temperature of around 3500-4000K is best. Yellow light can cause visual fatigue and drowsiness, hindering learning, while white light improves alertness and concentration. The brightness of a study area should generally be around 3000-6000 lumens.
Q: How should I choose a light bulb for the bathroom?
A: Neutral light is suitable for ambient lighting in the bathroom. Brighter light is needed in work areas (such as shaving or applying makeup). Choose a cool white light with a color temperature of around 4000-5000K. Also, look for bulbs with a color rendering index of 90 or higher for accurate color, especially if you're applying makeup every day. Most importantly, make sure your bathroom lighting is moisture-resistant.
