The home is the place where people develop their lives so it is essential to generate in it a suitable climate for its proper development. It should provide comfort so that daily activities are fully resolved.
How to choose a good lighting?
And you ask yourself, what is the correct lighting? Very simple: the one that allows you to distinguish and appreciate shapes, colors, moving objects and reliefs, as well as the one that allows you to see easily and without fatigue, ensuring visual comfort at all times.
As a general rule, when lighting your home, keep in mind that a room requires lighting of 20 watts per square meter. This should be borne in mind especially when buying the bulbs. If you are going to put more than one, distribute the total watts among the number of bulbs you use.
Also, if you want to vary the intensity of artificial light, buy lamps that can change the intensity of the light.
Important factors of how to choose an LED bulb or LED luminaire:
Opening angle: the space that will illuminate it
The tone of light: Warm, natural or cold environment.
Lumens: Luminosity of the product that we are going to acquire will have.
Power : Cap or base that have the bulbs.
How to properly use lighting in every room?
The living room can be properly illuminated with a pendant lamp that reaches the top of the view. Place it on top of the center table so that it illuminates the entire environment evenly. In addition, it can be complemented with an auxiliary table lamp to create more warmth when lighting your home.

A pendant lamp on the ceiling is enough to illuminate the kitchen table. Since the kitchen usually has slightly darker spaces, use light-colored curtains to take better advantage of natural light. Likewise, you can complete the kitchen lighting with sconces and candles.
The bedrooms need a correct combination of ambient light and point light. Ambient light is easily achieved by regulating the amount of natural light that filters through the curtains. For the night, however, it is necessary to have a diffuse general light point that is not located above the bed.
Instead of putting the traditional table lamp, use sconces. You will have more space on the tables and you will get the same lighting effect. To avoid being dazzled by the light, the trick is to direct it towards the ceiling or walls. In this way you will also be able to give greater lighting to the entire room.
what about the bathroom? For a number of reasons, you have to take into account many factors when lighting your bathroom. This is the space where ambient light is least expected. Of course, there are construction factors that involve the orientation of the house so that more light enters through the small bathroom window. But in case it is not so, we offer you some tips.
If you are installing sconces, make sure that they are about 50 cm from the mirror so that the reflection does not dazzle. One option is to place them one on each side of the mirror so that they illuminate both sides of the face equally. Of course, be careful not to put lights near the shower to avoid possible accidents due to humidity.
Finally, make sure that the lights to illuminate your house happen in each section without interruption. This will give an atmosphere of uniformity to the whole house.
