2. Types of light

In order to enjoy the most visually pleasing light, you must find the right lighting according to the intended space. It is absolutely essential to maintain a stable balance between aesthetics and functionality, in order to increase comfort, considering the fact that light decisively influences well-being and long-term health. 

The choice of the type of light is made according to the dominant factors, such as:

• the nature of the activity carried out
• proximity lighting fixtures
• lampshade pattern
• the place where it is used: indoors or outdoors
• the type of room in which it is located

The quality of the obtained result is significantly influenced by all these factors. Light is the one that makes everything worthwhile light fixture, so that inadequate lighting does not fulfill a functional role, but only a decorative one. Adequate lighting of the chandelier, sconce or chandelier ensures complete harmony in the room, highlighting at the same time the artistic value of these lighting fixtures. It should be mentioned that there are more types of light, such as: 

• Ambient or general light, which is spread evenly throughout the room. For this type of light can be used chandeliers, elegant chandeliers or ceiling lights. The light must be discreet to blend harmoniously into the defining style.
• Accent or local light it has the role of highlighting only a certain part of the room or an object. The light often falls on the decorative elements of the room, providing a spot of color that creates a unique atmosphere. To emphasize the importance of a painting or a statuette, use specific sconces or lamps. 
• Functional or work light it is of great importance, because the health of our eyes depends on it. It is used in areas intended for activities such as reading, writing, or culinary activities. In these situations, the light obtained through wall sconces or floor lamps with a pleasant design complements the design of a room in an artistic way.

The three types of light they can exist simultaneously in almost all rooms, because they complement each other, offering more visual comfort. The types of light can be used alternatively, depending on the dominant factors. 

LEDs can emit three color tones, depending on color temperature. They represent an essential characteristic of light.

Warm white light - 2200K – 3200K, which means a little more than warm light of a candle 

Neutral light - 4000K – 4500K which is very similar to natural light 

Cold white light - 6000K – 6500K is the light similar to that of a neon tube

sometimes, the lighting it can pleasantly combine ambient light with functional light or accent light with ambient light, creating an amazing setting.

Warm light it is relaxing for the eyes and is used in rooms intended for relaxation such as the living room or public dining areas. This creates an intimate and comfortable atmosphere.

Neutral light it is somewhere in between warm and cold light from a technical point of view. It is a common light, which is mainly used in rooms where dynamic daily activities take place, ensuring optimal visual comfort.

Cold light it emphasizes the details and colors very well and is used in the kitchen, above the worktop, in car workshops, outside to illuminate a garden or parking lots, and the bright spots with cold light they fit very well in swimming pools or industrial pools.

3. Types of light sources

At first, the first lamps used combustion, like torches, and later electric light appeared, which represented the point of development of lighting systems. From that moment, various light emitting devices appeared. The fundamental principle on which it is based consists in the transformation of energy into light. The most used lamps today differ according to the light emission mode and are incandescent or luminescent lamps.

Incandescent lamps

In the case of incandescent lamps, the increase in temperature is produced by the current. This type of lamp consists of a glass capsule, with a metal element inside, very resistant to temperature. 

Luminescent lamps

Regarding the luminescence process, when the electric current passes through the filament, it heats it up and emits energy. A large part of it turns into heat, and a small part turns into light. They stand out for their low level of performance, which is why they have been successfully replaced by others types of lamps much more efficient.

Halogen lamps

Halogen lamps work on the same principle as ordinary incandescent bulbs. The only difference between them is that the interior is filled with a halogen gas. It obviously improves the performance of the lamp, at the same time increasing the lifetime of the filament.

Discharge lamps

These lamps have a gas enclosed in a tube, which goes to a higher energy state as they are fed with more current. When the electrons in the gas return to their initial state, they emit light. The name of this type of lamp comes from the fact that in the past the current was produced by discharging a capacitor.

Fluorescent lamps

They consist of a tube, which contains mercury gas, but also a layer of material that emits light through fluorescence. The light obtained is ultraviolet but offers very good visibility, which makes these lamps more efficient than incandescent ones.

LED lamps

These led lamps i am modern lamps, very often used lately. They work on the basis of light-emitting diodes, offering a very good performance, thus successfully replacing the classic types of lamps.

4. Styles of lighting fixtures

5. Placement of lights

It is a very important aspect that you have to take into account in order to differentiate between general and local lighting. Location lighting fixtures influences the light requirement. It is calculated differently depending on the location of the body of lighting. They are usually placed in different ways and at different heights as follows:

• the chandeliers, chandeliers, ceiling lights, pendants and spotlights are located at the ceiling level, at a height of 2.5 meters
• the sconces are usually mounted on the wall at a height of 2 meters to emphasize the lighting of some decorative objects 
• type lighting systems LED strip, wands, the spotlights embedded in the furniture are used for lighting the worktop in the kitchen and are placed at a height of 70 cm 
• the LED strips are intended for lighting the steps, and the street lamps for local or even ambient lighting.

The light requirement or luminous flux is given by the amount of light that is reflected on a surface of one square meter expressed in lumens. The term lumen is written on the packaging of lighting fixtures and lighting sources.

Therefore, the light requirement expressed in lumens depends on the type of activity carried out, the type of lighting and the size of the room.

We need to see how many lumens we need to light a room. The amount of lumens increases directly proportional to the intensity of the activity. Where more visibility is needed, the light requirement increases, but so does the number of lumens. For example, for writing, reading, you need up to 600 lumens, for activities with an average intensity such as serving a meal, 400 lumens are sufficient, and for relaxing activities, the light requirement is up to 250 lumens

6. The advantages of LED lighting

LED technology is the most advanced, from the point of view of energy efficiency, and presents a long series of other advantages:

● Many LED bulbs they allow the adjustment of the luminous flux and the intensity of the light, in order to make the transition from one type of light to another as easy as possible, depending on the activities carried out. Carefully check the "light flux adjustment" label.

●   Light intensity it remains at the same level throughout the life of the bulb.

● LED bulbs last much longer than the light bulbs incandescent or halogen. Therefore, they should not be replaced often, which once again emphasizes the idea that they represent a long-term investment;

●  LEDs have shapes and types similar to the light bulbs incandescent, so I can replace them successfully without having to replace them lighting fixtures from the house.

●    LED bulbs they can have various shades of white, from white light warm to cold white light. Warm white light it creates the feeling of privacy, so it is often used in spaces such as the living room and bedrooms, too cold white light it stimulates concentration and is used in offices and classrooms.
