How to Light a Living Room?

Lighting for Meeting scenes in the living room (play, friends gathering, etc.)

The meeting scene in the living room means that we have a relatively large demand for lighting in the living room. It is no longer just some low-level lighting, but it needs to provide some specific activity illumination (such as playing cards, cleaning, etc.) to create a bright Light environment. In order to meet the lighting requirements of the living room in the guest scene, we need to add some functional lighting on the basis of meeting the leisure scene of the living room.

① Grille spotlight + light band, this combination can create a simple and bright space lighting environment with a layered sense.

② Strip-shaped spotlights. Reasonably arranging the strip-shaped lights with a sense of design on the ceiling can also create a bright and colorful living room light environment.

③ If you add a dimming function to the lamp, adjust the output ratio, so that your own living room lighting can meet the needs of the guest scene, but also meet the needs of leisure scenes, then the flexible use of dimming is also an indispensable condition of the living room lighting design One.

Lighting for leisure scene of the living room (dazing, watching TV and other activities)

The leisure scene in the living room means that we don’t need a lot of light in the living room, but we can’t do without it. We need to provide the illuminance for general activities (such as drinking tea and pouring water) to create a light environment that can relax people. So the question arises, what kind of lighting can create a comfortable and relaxing leisure scene?

① Light strip (indirect light source). Generally, the position where the light strip is installed has a groove to hide the light strip, and achieves the effect of “seeing the light but not the light” to the highest level of application of the lamp. Staying in such a space will feel very comfortable. The light strips on the facade, as long as the light emitted meets the needs of the contrast of the casual scene.

② Light strip (indirect light source) + floor lamp (decorative light source). The light from the floor lamp is generally located in the middle of the space and plays a good role in supplementing the light. The shape also has a certain decorative effect on the space and can be moved…

③ Underground lights use the method of brightening the background wall, and then the light reflects or refracts through the wall to meet the space’s demand for light and achieve a function of rich space illumination
