Interior lighting and key applications in space decoration

A house project, no matter how much goes in, cannot be perfect if the owner does not pay attention to the design of lighting. Any building must be arranged with light to create a beautiful and artistic space. In order to reach the best lighting effects, lighting designers divide interior lighting into three categories: general lighting, functional lighting, and accent lighting. The following article provides more information on interior lighting.

General lighting (Wide angle)

General lighting is the most common form of lighting in most buildings. Its role is to provide general lighting for the whole space and is often considered the first layer of light, or background layer, to create a sense of space for viewers.

The common interior space uses wide-angle downlights.

The lights used for general lighting are diverse in terms of models, types, capacity, etc. They often have features such as changing light color or changing light intensity. The color and intensity of light meet the needs, preferences, and circadian rhythms of the human body. Here are some wide-angle lighting products:

Functional lighting

Different from general lighting, functional lighting is a form of lighting that must ensure that users can perform work with the highest possible concentration with better visibility, ensuring quality work such as cooking.

Selected specialized lights often have white light, high luminous flux, and narrower beam angle than general lights to focus on a certain area, helping users work and study effectively.

Accent lighting

If general lighting provides general lighting for a large space, accent lighting is used to highlight a work of art (painting, statue), a decorative item (flowerpot, pot plants, antique vases) or unique architectural designs (miniatures, bookshelves) in the house.

Both types of lighting complement each other with the purpose of increasing the aesthetic value of the interior space of the house.

Regarding accent lighting, it is impossible not to mention the concept of projection angle. The beam angle is determined by the width of the beam coming from the light source (usually 15-60 degrees). Choosing the lights must first be based on the projection angle.

Besides, in order to highlight the sophistication and attractiveness of a flower vase or work of art, it is necessary to pay attention to another factor which is the CRI (Color Rendering Index). The higher the CRI, the brighter and more vivid the accent lighting space will be.

Another point is that accent lights are usually 2-3 times brighter than the overall lighting, and the projection angle can be flexibly adjusted with the lamp body, pivot, or vane.

From the information shared above, we cannot deny the role of lighting in interior space. Therefore, the selection of equipment and interior lighting design also needs to be carefully calculated in addition to the selection of interior materials. A correct selection of lighting will ensure the creation of impressive, friendly, comfortable interior spaces and bring positive emotions to users.
