Four points to note about home lighting #3

From last two posts, Four points to note about home lighting #1, and #2, we learned that the brightness and CCT are the key factors that we need to notice when select and install home lighting. The different brightness and different color temperature can create a completely different home lighting atmosphere.

In post #1, we are mentioned that the luminous difference between different rooms should be controlled in the reasonable range. Our eyes will be uncomfortable and fatigued by frequently adapt to very different brightness. Post #1 represented the overall brightness of the house need to be unified. Not only the whole, as well as the small areas need to pay attention to the contrast between light and dark.

Nowadays, decorative lighting became an important part of interior lighting. Most people like to decorate the living room with LED spotlights, LED strips and other decorative lights. In general, the decorative lights are not high-brightness, which can not provide enough light for our lives. For example, if we only turn on the decorative lights on TV background wall when watching TV at night, the strong contrast of light and dark will cause the eyestrain, even vision impairment in the long run. Likewise, it is also a bad habit that reading under a small desk lamp for a long time. The low-brightness LED light strips are the popular decorative lights in the bedroom, which can also be used as the auxiliary lighting, helping us see and it doesn't dazzling. Furthermore, adding the controller to dim the LED strips also a good method, which allows us to vary the brightness according to the actual requirement.

In short, the brightness of indoor lighting should be reasonable and similar.
