The lighter side of life

Light - this is life. This is 50% of your mood, and 75% a cosiness in the house. Light determines a great deal: the general atmosphere of the home, health and psychological state of its inhabitants, the efficiency of the beauty of the interior and even the taste of dinner. Therefore, without the right lighting can be a healthy home.

Sunshine

Without the sun is dying everything, even the people. Medical fact - the lack of natural lighting strikes at our body. Suffers vision - originally set eyes on the perception of the sun's rays instead of light bulbs. Deteriorating immune system - the sun's ultraviolet rays can not only increase the body's resistance to all kinds of germs, but also kill most of the germs. Staggers the mind - the sunlight stimulates the central nervous system, and if it is not enough, he becomes lethargic, passive, prone to depression, or simply depressed. And even without the sun go crazy our biorhythms, slow metabolism, total starts beriberi. Therefore it is very important to fill the apartment enough Sunbeam and bunnies.

There are certain norms of insolation (direct sunlight) of different areas. Within 2-3 hours per day of light must see at least one window in the 1-3-room apartment, and at least two windows 4-room apartments and more. If the contract is not reached 2-3 hours, the sun will have a total look in your windows for half an hour longer. In this case, at least one period of sun exposure should be at least 1 hour.

By the design of the windows should be approached with the utmost seriousness. It is not just a design element, it must pass the light and protect our home from excessive heat rays.

First of all, attention should be paid to the fact, where are the windows face.

If they look to the north and the east part, the room will penetrate only the scattered light. The walls in these areas to make light: the light falling on them will be reflected many times, and thereby enhance illumination. Curtain, especially dense, must be arranged so that they can be day apart. As still permissible only light curtain, as transparent lace fabric.

If the windows face west or south-west, it's worth thinking about how to save your home from the sun. Escape from the direct rays by using dense but light curtains, blinds, solar films. Overheating is also well protected green spaces. Just remember that you still ultraviolet needed, and leave the place in the bush for the sun.

To the bulb

Sunlight - it's wonderful. But, unfortunately, most of the daylight hours of the year in our short and cloudy days is a lot. Here comes to the rescue and light bulbs. Artificial lighting - lighting obedient. Such an magic wand in our hands, which allows us to achieve a variety of effects. In addition to the basic utilitarian function - to win the darkness, lighting and climate determine the mood of the room. In addition, it is an integral part of the interior. Using light accents or you can hide flaws, push the wall, lift, or, conversely, lower ceiling, divide the room into zones

By creating artificial lighting your home, you must be aware of some rules. First, the light should be sufficient. Overall, the illumination shall be from 15 to 25 watts of power bulbs per square meter of floor area.

Secondly, it must be functional. It is more convenient to watch TV in dim light, entertaining guests - in bright, fill the room. The bedroom is preferably soft lighting, diffusion, and in the kitchen - bright, but uniform.

Third, the light should be comfortable: no abrupt transitions from shadow to light, bright light or glare surfaces - all of it is harmful to the eye. It is necessary to avoid open source, irritating eyes and tiring psyche. Bright spot light beam is good only in desk lamps. The room is better to seek the light softer. In this regard, it is fortunate ceiling lights in the shape of a sphere or hemisphere. They are opaque and partition the direct rays.

Finally, the illumination should be safe. Crystal chandelier in a nursery or outdoor light bulb in the bathroom - it's an unnecessary risk. And hanging too low lighting in the kitchen, which is impossible not to hit his head - a nasty little thing, too.

Not only light Ilyich

The apartments are usually used three types of bulbs: incandescent, halogen and fluorescent (aka fluorescent light).

Incandescent lamps serve us for over 120 years. Their light with a spectrum shifted to the infrared region, is considered the best and very pleasing to the human eye. But these good old light bulbs have one serious drawback: they are not as much light as warm. Approximately 95% of their energy is converted into heat, and only 5% left for the light.

Incandescent lamps can be simple, colored and mirrored. Here dwell on the past. At the top of a lamp bulb is covered with a mirror layer, which protects the lamp from overheating and allows it to operate for much longer. Reflector lamps shine brighter than some conventional and dull portion of the bulb makes the light more even and diffused.

Halogen lamps emit a pleasant white light. They light up the room better than an incandescent bulb, but consume much less energy. But halogen lamps are very sensitive to voltage drops. That they work in our reality, you have to buy a personal transformer.

Fluorescent light compared to incandescent lamps can significantly reduce energy consumption and increase the production of the actual world. But they make noise, flicker and quickly tire the eyes and mind. However, the latest generation of lamps are deprived of most of these shortcomings, but permanent residence under the fluorescent lights still unpleasant. These lamps can be successfully integrated into bookshelves, put on the desk or in the kitchen over the sink, and basically covering prefer more pleasing to the eye bulb.

Home lampovedenie

Lamps are different: the ceiling, wall, table and floor. Should not be limited to only one type of lighting: the more diverse lighting fixtures at your disposal, the easier your life will be. Do not be afraid to fill your home with light.

On light, ceiling. She chandelier.

Ceiling lights are 4x species. Chandeliers hanging chandeliers or proper. This is a traditional lamp, hanging on chains, on electric wires or metal rods. Type chandeliers ceiling lamps that are "sit" directly on the ceiling. Chandeliers type soffits - turning a focused light beam. And finally, the lights, built-in suspended ceilings.

Bright front light chandelier - a central source of light in the room - not only creates a uniform, full of light, but also has a unique psychological property: it brings together all the people in the room. In the living room, the dining room, the kitchen is best to use ceiling lights, which give a combined light: one part of the light is coming up at the ceiling, and the other (comparable in magnitude to the first one) - is directed downward. For the bedroom is better to choose a chandelier whose light softly diffused throughout the room. In the children's coverage should be uniform and fairly bright, but that's open intense sources of light should be avoided.

Ceiling lights can also act as sources of local illumination. Soffits, throwing light within a narrow angle, to help distinguish, for example, a dining table.

Wall Lamp

Wall lamp called "bra". Typically, its light fluxes are directed upwards or downwards along the wall, approximately parallel to it. With the lights can be zoned room. You can save a lot of money - why should illuminate the whole room when you can light up only the one area in which you are now? But, most importantly, sconces can create a huge number of micro-scale in one apartment - each family member to create their private space. One must remember that the lights - it's not necessarily pleasant shade. If you are used to read under the lights, then its light should be bright enough.

Floor lamp is intermediate between desktop and floor lamps. Though he is on the floor, the light emitted is higher - on average. Floor lamp - it's not only a lot of comfort and a pleasant atmosphere. It is also a great way to fill a room with soft indirect light in a position to rest, reflection or conversation.

Floor lamp

It is very fashionable - embedded in the floor lamps. And it's beautiful. For example, a fireplace, lit from below. Or aquarium. Or luminous path from room to room. And yet, sometimes, it is useful - often standing lamps mounted in humidifiers.

Just remember that in the children's outdoor luminaires is not the place. Young researchers are sure to try to dismantle it. And certainly in the ON state.

Table lamp

Table lamps, perform a variety of tasks: light, illuminate, decorate. But their main function - they help run. Especially important to the proper lighting of the places where engaged in work related to eye strain.

Desk lamp should definitely be set so that the light fell on the left (for left - right), otherwise it will interfere with the shadow of the hand. In general, power table lamps is better to choose between 40-60 watts, the distance from the lamp to the table should be 40-50 inches. It is better if the lamp is movable visor, which will allow to direct the light to the workplace. It is desirable that the lampshade was opaque and wide open at the bottom, with a large steady stream of light.

Adequate lighting sheet of drawing paper when drawing gives a desk lamp with an incandescent bulb 150 watt at a distance of 80-100 centimeters. Knit, embroider, darn black thread better at 100 watts at a distance of 20-30 inches, and read - at 60 watts.

You should not skimp on quality table lamp - tainted vision will be more expensive.
