How to design lighting for a kitchen?

Overhead lighting

When it comes to overhead lighting, you must think of ceiling lights.

In fact, ceiling lights do not condense and are astigmatic. If your kitchen is relatively small, you can use a ceiling light for overhead lighting. If the kitchen is relatively large, it is better to use a few recessed spotlights, or a pendant light(we would recommend lohasled e12 led light bulbs with smart features as light source). It is brighter and more beautiful than a ceiling lamp, and at the same time can enhance the atmosphere.

Lighting of sink and cooking area

There are many choices of light sources used in this area, such as movable spotlights, downlights, wall lights, and light strips. Washing and cooking pay attention to sufficient light source and uniform light. As a reminder, when you install spotlights and downlights, you must grasp the distance to avoid repetitive light sources, and power consumption also causes light pollution. The spotlighting effect of wall lamps is also suitable for local lighting, and it is not limited by height. Like some wall lamps, the direction and distance can be adjusted at will. The design of the light strip is relatively special. It is generally installed under the closet, which can illuminate the entire area under the closet and above the countertop. You can also use hoses at the corners, which occupies a small area and is convenient to switch.

Storage area lighting

The storage area includes upper cabinets and lower cabinets. Projection lights can be installed in each cabinet. Its advantage is that it automatically lights up when you open the cabinet door and goes out when you close it. Since then, you no longer need to see it for a long time every time you open the cabinet door to pick up something, and because it automatically opens and closes, you don’t waste any electricity. Installation principle The brightness of the light must be appropriate. The most suitable color temperature (ie, brightness) of the LED is 4200K. Too strong light will affect physical health. The overall lighting and auxiliary lighting are integrated to ensure that all areas can be illuminated. The lamps should be kept away from water vapor, stoves, oil fume, and use safety sockets, preferably to prevent moisture. The lamps should be wiped frequently to extend the service life.

After reading these, you must understand how to install lighting in your own kitchen. So, what should you do with the renovated home? In fact, if the home has been renovated, it can also be directly remodeled with open lines. However, you must find a professional hydropower master. Don’t do it blindly. Safety is the most important thing. For owners who have not yet renovated, for the sake of beauty, it is better to use dark lines. The most important point is to communicate with the master how to reserve enough lines before decoration. The kitchen is the most important area of ​​the home, and all the food comes in and out. After a busy day and returning home in the evening, a bowl of tomato egg noodles or a pot of delicious chicken soup on the dining table is what life should be like, right?
