Canco Lighting Blog / By Will Xue
Ceiling Lights are an essential part of home lighting in modern living. They not only provide illumination but also add a sense of style and personalized design elements to your living space. With advancements in technology, ceiling lights come in a wide variety of designs and functionalities. With so many options available, choosing the right ceiling lights for your home can be a challenge for many people. Today, Canco will share detailed insights on how to choose suitable ceiling lights for your home and recommend a great classic design ceiling light.
1. Types of Ceiling Lights
Ceiling lights can be categorized into ordinary ceiling lights, LED ceiling lights, and semi-recessed ceiling lights. Ordinary ceiling lights are affordable but offer relatively weaker brightness and effects. LED ceiling lights, on the other hand, have a longer lifespan, are energy-efficient, and provide high brightness. Semi-recessed ceiling lights not only save space but also blend with the ceiling color and material, creating a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Different types of ceiling lights are suitable for different environments and occasions, so choosing the right type is the first step in purchasing ceiling lights.
2. Sizes of Ceiling Lights
Choosing the appropriate size of ceiling lights is also crucial when making a purchase. If the ceiling light is too small, the brightness may not be sufficient, while a light that is too large can make the room appear crowded. Generally, the larger the room, the larger the ceiling light should be. For example, the size of ceiling lights in the living room should be larger than those in the bedroom because the living room is a social and active space that requires brighter illumination. In larger rooms, you can also consider installing multiple ceiling lights to enhance the lighting effect.
3. Brightness of Ceiling Lights
When considering the brightness of ceiling lights, two factors to consider are wattage and lumen output. Generally, higher wattage indicates higher brightness. However, with technological advancements, LED lights are much brighter than traditional light fixtures, so LED lights can provide greater brightness at the same wattage. Lumen output is the unit for measuring the brightness of light fixtures, and it is represented in lumens (lm). When selecting ceiling lights, it is essential to determine the required lumen output based on the room’s size and purpose. Here are some general recommendations:
- For bedrooms, a lumen output of 500-1000lm is suitable.
- For living rooms, a lumen output of 1500-3000lm is recommended.
- For kitchens and bathrooms that require higher illumination, a lumen output of 3000lm or more is needed.
Choosing the appropriate lumen output ensures the comfort and practicality of the room while also helping save energy and reduce electricity bills.
4. Designs of Ceiling Lights
Ceiling lights not only need to provide adequate illumination but also feature stylish designs. The design of ceiling lights can complement the room’s decor and furniture, creating a more personalized and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. When selecting the design of ceiling lights, consider factors such as color, shape, and material. Choose colors that match the room’s main color scheme, shapes that harmonize with the room’s layout, and materials that complement the furniture. Additionally, Canco recommends considering ceiling lights with dimming functionality, allowing you to adjust the lighting effects according to different occasions and times, making them more practical and convenient.
5. The Installation Method of the LED Ceiling Lights
The knob/snap type installation and fixation:
- Place the base of the ceiling lights in the position to be installed.
- Use an electric drill to drive the screw into the hole of the ceiling lights base and fix it to the ceiling.
- Connect the reserved power cord to the wire on the back of the lamp body.
- Tighten the screw of the lamp body and the base to align the knob tightly / buckle with the card position of the base.
