Kitchen is a family of commonly used functional areas, the general principle of kitchen lighting design is simple and practical, both the need to have basic lighting and functional lighting, and in some cases, the need for a sense of ambience lighting (is the case depending on the situation). The following are several suitable for the kitchen lighting recommendations:

Suitable for the kitchen lights have:

1. Flat roof lights

Flat roof lights are the simplest, but also in the first few decades of the most popular lighting design, I believe that almost all of our neighborhood friends of the Home must have a few ceiling lights, simple and durable, very cost-effective, easy to install, but the ceiling light has no sense of hierarchy, the center of the bright, the surrounding black, it is best to use with other lights.

Reference price: about $100 for 24w flat ceiling light.

2. Downlight + spotlight

Kitchen installation downlight + spotlight, pay attention to the distribution and collocation, for example: sink / cut vegetables area with spotlight, more than the downlight spotlight, so that the operation of the countertop is more bright, easy to wash, cut vegetables and other operations, the middle of the downlight, close to the pendant cabinet with a spotlight. The overall choice of downlights + spotlights, soft and even light, to meet the overall uniform lighting needs of the kitchen.

Reference price: 5-7w downlight, spotlight 10-50 yuan / one.

3. Strip light / line light

Now the kitchen decoration is more popular installation of strip light / line light, the overall sense of high quality, especially for larger kitchens, simple and advanced, cost-effective and durable. Strip/line lights are best to choose two, which can make the kitchen bright and even, with a stronger sense of hierarchy, and reduce the shadow of the cooking area.

Reference price: light strip is about 50 yuan / meter.

After choosing the basic lamps and lanterns, the overall match, brightness, color temperature and other factors of the kitchen lamps and lanterns also need to be considered. The following points should be noted:

1. Lamps and lanterns with the use of better

Kitchen lamps and lanterns can be more than just a choice, with the use of better Oh. For example, many families only choose a main light lighting, the main light in the middle of the ceiling, the light distribution is uneven, people operating in the shadows, not enough light for a long period of time, it will cause damage to the eyes. You can choose the main light + downlights / spotlights, or the main light + linear lights and other collocation, both to meet the basic lighting, but also to meet the functional lighting. The whole kitchen brightens up, and one will never operate on a dark operating table again.

2. Selection of lamp color temperature

The kitchen is the most functional area, washing, cutting, frying, washing dishes and a series of moving space. Color temperature is suitable for the choice of 4000k warm white light, so that not only can make the operation of the people with a better line of sight, but also make the dishes to play to attract the appetite of the color.

3. lamps and lanterns power selection

Kitchen is a fine work of an area, so the lighting needs to be bright enough for cutting table, cooking area and other workstations need to increase local lighting. The overall power of the kitchen is suitable for each square foot needs 3-5w.

In summary, my kitchen is according to the above method to buy, kitchen lamps and lanterns with share with you:

Kitchen area of more than 6 square feet, chose to match with the flat roof lamps + spotlights. Specific lamps and lanterns with a 24W flat roof lights, 4000k (Leishi lighting 100 yuan) + integrated stove and cut vegetables above the installation of two 5W spotlights, 4000k (35 yuan / one, the light source has a clear hill, more beautiful), both to meet the basic lighting, but also to meet the functional lighting.
