Regarding the wall lamp, the advantages and disadvantages, and the installation height are all here

For home lighting, we can choose from a wide range of lamps and lanterns, and various styles. After entering the lamp market, we have been blinded by all kinds of lamps. So, is there a kind of lamps that are indispensable for home lighting? You might say chandeliers, ceiling lights. But the protagonist I want to discuss today is the wall lamp.

Home lighting is generally divided into main lighting and auxiliary lighting. The so-called main lighting refers to global lighting such as chandeliers, ceiling lights, and light strips. The auxiliary lamp refers to the local lighting such as table lamp, wall lamp, floor lamp, tube, spotlight, and even decorative lighting lamp.

Regarding the advantages and disadvantages of the wall lamp, how to choose, how to install, this series of questions, the author will answer one by one in this article.

First of all, the advantages of wall lamps

1. Generally speaking, because the wall lamp is a local lighting, the power is not large, so the energy saving is better. At the same time, it is a DC drive with low power consumption (0.03-0.06 watts per tube). The electro-optical power conversion is close to 100%, and the same lighting effect is more than 80% energy-saving than traditional light sources.

2. Wall lamps mostly use solid cold light source, epoxy resin encapsulation, and the shortcomings of filament light and easy to burn, heat deposition, light decay and so on are not very obvious. Therefore, its service life can reach 60,000 to 100,000 hours, which is much longer than that of traditional light sources.

3. The installation height of the wall lamp is usually low, and it is relatively convenient to clean and take care of. And has a very good decorative effect.

Second, the disadvantages of wall lamps

1. Relatively speaking, the acquisition cost of unit illuminance is relatively high.

2. Relatively large heat generation and relatively uneven brightness. Especially for the bedside wall lamp, which is close to the human body, the heat generated is easily transferred to the human body.

Third, how to choose a good wall lamp

1. First look at the lampshade, usually the lampshade of the wall lamp will be mostly made of glass, fabric and PVC. You can pass the lighting test to see the light transmittance of the lampshade, and whether the shape and pattern of the lamp are in harmony with the home decoration style.

2. Looking at the lamp brackets, the wall lamp brackets are mostly made of metal. This requires us to investigate whether its corrosion resistance is good or not, whether the color and paint surface are beautiful and full.

3. Since the wall lamp is more decorative, the light should be soft and the wattage should be controlled within 30 watts to reduce the damage to the wall caused by the heat. In addition, different types of wall lamps should be selected according to the needs of the installation. The last thing to note is that it is best to choose a wall lamp with a protective cover for the bulb, which can prevent the wallpaper from igniting and causing danger.

4. The illuminance should not be too high, so that it is more artistic. The lampshade should be determined according to the wall color. For white or cream-yellow walls, light green and light blue shades should be used; The wall covering of the background color is dotted with a prominent wall lamp, which gives people a sense of elegance and freshness.

Fourth, the installation height of the wall lamp is appropriate

1. Bedside wall lamp: We recommend that the height of the bedside wall lamp should be between 1.5m-1.7m from the ground and 95-400mm from the wall, as convenient as possible. Under special circumstances, make appropriate adjustments.

2. General wall lamps: For example, wall lamps in the living room, corridor, and dining room, we recommend a distance of 80cm from the work surface (such as a desktop), 2.2m-2.6m from the ground, and 10-40cm from the wall.
