10 things to note in indoor lighting design and LED design ideas

Modern architectural decoration not only focuses on the elements of interior space, but also pays more attention to the aesthetic effect of lighting on the indoor and outdoor environment and the psychological effect produced thereby. Therefore, lighting is not just a continuation of natural light, but a full use of the combination of light and dark, and the combination of light and shadow in architectural decoration to create a comfortable and beautiful lighting environment. Therefore, people pay more and more attention to the choice of lighting for interior decoration.

In decoration, according to the required illumination in different building interior space environments, the lighting method and lamp type should be correctly selected to provide people with good lighting conditions, so that people can obtain the best visual effect in the building interior space environment, and at the same time, they can also obtain a certain atmosphere and artistic conception, and enhance the performance and aesthetic feeling of the building interior space. Lighting design has two characteristics: one is its artistry; the other is its functionality.

Artistry means that using various lighting techniques and colors will produce various psychological effects. Displays of various shapes and three-dimensional effects, depth of field and different architectural styles all require different effects through lighting design. Functionality means that the functions used in different types of buildings are different, and it is necessary to choose different lamps and illumination according to the physiological needs of users. For example, the illumination when we are reading and resting is different. There are illumination standards recommended for various application places and forms of activities based on visual health, brightness distribution values ​​for various workplaces, various glare evaluation levels, research data on the impact of stroboscopic light, etc., for us to search. However, when we design interior lighting, we sometimes simply pursue artistry and often ignore people's physiological needs.

In this regard, ten points are listed and the tips on how to choose the right lamps are briefly described for your reference.

These ten tips address common interior lighting issues that arise in decorating to meet all user needs and provide effective working conditions:

1. Human vision is very dependent on the brightness of the surrounding vision. When the brightness of the environment increases, human power and overall vision also increase relatively; and the possibility of error also decreases. In simple terms, we can divide the illumination into 7 levels: 30, 50, 100lx for directional and simple visual tasks; 300, 500, 1000lx for ordinary visual tasks; 3000~10000lx for special visual tasks. The illumination of the lamp can be selected according to different indoor requirements.

2. Distribution of light - Soft lights distributed on different planes in the room can give the space a sense of comfort. On the contrary, inappropriate or excessive lights will cause visual damage and fatigue.

3. Proper reflection control - Although indoor reflections will not affect vision, they may cause irritation and damage to vision.

4. Good contrast correction - The importance of contrast is to enable the eye to distinguish between the real object and the background. In a lighting system, good contrast correction will not cause reflections, even shiny surfaces and documents. Even glossy paper will not affect reading.

5. Correct projection direction - The position of the projection direction of the lamp is important for contrast correction. At the same time, it also affects the distribution of light and shadows.

6. Appropriate shadow state - Shadow can enhance the three-dimensional sight and guidance function. Effective combination of diffuse light and direct light can produce a good shadow state.

7. Appropriate color presentation - During the day, the light of natural light sources changes. Therefore, artificial light sources can present different colors and light performances to support different lighting functions and scenarios.

8. Natural color correction - only the spectral colors of the incident light can be reflected by the object and perceived by the naked eye. Color correction is a measurement of the ability of artificial light sources to show the natural color of objects. If conditions permit, it is recommended to use LED light source products, which have outstanding color rendering, color temperature and energy saving.

9. Effective lighting environment - Light can affect people's mood and feelings. The feeling of interior and lighting is a subjective and unconscious impression. In recent years, the public has paid more and more attention to the importance of positive lighting environment in the workplace.

10. Effectively control energy consumption - the basic requirement of modern lighting design is energy reuse and conservation. Energy saving, environmental protection and health are the basic principles of green lighting. Green lighting advocated by the US Environmental Protection Agency in 1991 has been popularized around the world and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and has a profound impact on lighting design. At present, there are many solutions for the installation of lamps and the reconstruction and reorganization of old and inefficient systems.

It is worth mentioning that as the application of LED lighting indoor lamps becomes more and more widespread, LED interior decoration design schemes are becoming more and more popular. For LED interior decoration design, in addition to considering the above 10 points, you can also start from the following 3 points:

1. You can try free structure and appearance design

As the heat dissipation problem of LEDs is becoming less severe, the design of power circuits is becoming more and more simple and effective. The restrictions on structure and volume are also gradually fading. Such conditions allow the appearance design of LED lamps to be richer and freer, and the places where they can be used are wider. LED lamps can already enter many places where other traditional light source lamps cannot enter, providing light needs that these places could not meet before.

2. Provide more flexible control options

We can design LED lamps that other light sources cannot achieve, but can meet the public's desire for control performance according to the gap between lighting control needs and the performance limits of traditional light sources. For example, smart lamps with variable color temperature, dimmable light, and automatic response according to the situation. In addition, for those who like to play with various high-tech products, we provide LED lamps that can be freely controlled and set.

3. Built-in and combination

LEDs have created new light environments and expressions. Without significantly changing the lines or reducing the original space, you can create fantastic effects by simply adding LED lamps. Whether it is conventional indoor lighting decoration or the design of special new indoor lighting, the above factors need to be considered comprehensively. It is necessary to ensure that the established lighting requirements are fully met in terms of brightness, comfort, artistry, etc., in order to achieve a satisfactory indoor lighting effect.
