Interior lighting solution

Important role in the design space is lighting. The dim lighting and poor eyesight forced to strain, and active and overly strong quickly tires, forcing the person involuntarily to focus on minor details. Every space is full of objects. Lighting design is intended to take into account the peculiarities of the room and focused on the need to identify with light sufficient for the perception of information, focusing on critical areas. Lighting should not be too unevenly distributed over the area of ??the premises, it is not recommended to allocate too much light, the individual elements of the interior. The degree of illumination of an object should not exceed the ambient background brightness immediately more than tripled, and the brightness of the peripheral areas of more than ten times. In any case, you should abide by the measure. In the world there is one more feature: it creates an illusion. With it you can visually increase or decrease the space. In apartments and homes, where ceilings are low, are encouraged to light flows up or on the wall, in which case the space of "revealed" seems higher or wider. A similar effect was observed in the case, if you install lighting in niches, the partitions in the building structures. Structural elements, walls, ceilings, partitions naturally close the space, but, being illuminated, lose their weight, density, and cease to perform limiting role. In the case where the premises are high (greater than 3.5 m) ceilings, then darkening the ceiling, you can achieve the disappearance of "the effect of the well, illuminating the wall at the height of human growth. Ceiling lighting with respect to the walls will be lower, he gains more weight and visually close. It must be remembered that, when the ceiling or wall becomes visible surface structure. Any cracks, chips, spots begin to "strike the eye." Light also makes more explicit the texture of the plaster, decorative panels and wallpaper. What is strikingly wall texture and brighter light, the perception will be disastrous for their interaction. Therefore it is best to use a soft diffused light. What, then, there are streams of light and lighting? First, the most important source of light is natural. He is the most favorable and comfortable. Therefore, the development of light-directing is important to consider the amount of light to penetrate not only through the windows, but through the door. Lighting can be of different kinds, and each of them has its own purpose. 1. General lighting is almost uniformly fills the entire space. 2. Task lighting is used to when it can be successfully engaged in some business. 3. Local, local lighting is necessary for zoning, allocation of separate islands of ambient light background - whether it's working area in the kitchen or dining room table in the living room. Purpose of decorative lighting should be from the title. If the local spatial coverage puts the emphasis, it is purely aesthetic, decorative purposes. It should be noted that in each room should be multiple types of lighting. Beams can be straight, going directly from the bulb. This is the most powerful and efficient light output, but the glaring and giving deep shadows. The scattered light is formed by refraction and reflection of rays emanating from the source. The scattered light is softer, more pleasant and less direct, not a problem with shadows. Reflected light - is light that is reflected from the surface and interior. The quality and intensity of this flux depends on the type of surface. If the surface is smooth, then the reflected light beam from it - is flat. If it is rough, textured, then the flow is enriched by the rays reflected from different angles, and becomes more enjoyable. Source of direct, diffuse and reflected light may be somewhat different or even the same source of light. In this case we speak of the combined light. Direct and scattered light depends entirely on the design and materials of the lamp, and reflected light - the characteristics of the interior. The brighter interior, the more the reflected light. Conversely, if the walls and furniture of dark shades, strongly absorb light, the greater should be the power of lighting devices.
