How to install kitchen lights
1, when installing kitchen lamps and lanterns, two factors should be considered: easy cleaning of lamps and lanterns and safety of electricity use. Therefore, the lamps in the kitchen don't need to be as complicated as those in the living room, but should be as simple as possible so as to be more convenient to clean in the future.
The kitchen is where you often cook, so the light in the kitchen must be sufficient. In addition to the overall lighting, there should also be local lighting wall lamps, table chandeliers, hidden lamps at the bottom of cabinets and so on. If the kitchen lighting is insufficient, it will bring inconvenience to the actual cooking work.
3. When installing kitchen lamps and lanterns, try to stay away from the stove, so as to avoid the lampblack and water vapor directly infecting the lamps and lanterns. In addition, the switch in the kitchen and the parts in the socket must be sealed to prevent leakage accidents.
Under normal circumstances, a main light will be installed in the center of the ceiling of the kitchen, which plays the role of overall lighting and adds a layer of background light to the kitchen. Generally, the main kitchen lamp and the integrated ceiling of the kitchen are integrated or embedded with aluminum gusset plates, which can make the kitchen look more concise and bright.
5. Hanging cabinets, range hoods, etc. Generally, they are installed above the console, so they will block the illumination of kitchen lights and easily affect the cooking of the owner. Therefore, a row of lighting lamps should be installed above the console and below the hanging cabinet, which can effectively improve the cooking efficiency.
6. In the cabinet, if there is no extra light source, it is generally difficult to see what is in the cabinet, so it will be extremely inconvenient to take things at night. You can add a light source to the cabinet.
7. Most of the light sources in the open kitchen are embedded spotlights in the ceiling, and the number of spotlights is about 6- 10. Ceiling lamps are generally not used in the kitchen, because they do not concentrate light, only astigmatism, so they are not suitable for installation in the kitchen.
8. Try to choose warm colors as the kitchen light source, which is very beautiful. The temperature in the kitchen is high, so it is suitable for using cool lamps, and it can also create comfort under the condition of sufficient light.
9. When installing kitchen lamps, don't just install a lighting source in the center of the kitchen ceiling, but install a multi-level lighting system composed of different lamps and light sources in the kitchen, so as to make the kitchen lighting more perfect. The specific lighting method should be arranged according to the overall space occupied by the kitchen.
10. If the kitchen area is larger than 10 square meter, 9 lamps can be used, and the installation can be carried out according to the method of 8 lamps around and 1 lamp in the middle. The wattage of each spotlight does not need to be too high, and an adjustable switch should be prepared. If the kitchen area is between 6-7 square meters, then only 6 spotlights can be used and arranged in a 2-horizontal and 3-vertical arrangement.
