6 tips you need to consider when you choose the LED ceiling lamp for your living room.
When you choose an LED ceiling lamp for your living room, you will see a variety of ceiling lamps on the market, with different styles and prices also varying. It is really hard to choose the best LED ceiling lamp.
Now, let’s take a look at how to choose the best LED ceiling lamp - 6 tips.
1. Choose one that can be installed close to the ceiling, not one with a gap between the lamp and the ceiling
Some LED ceiling lamps have a large gap between the lamp and the ceiling. They look good when they are just installed, but after a long time, dust and mosquitoes will get in. It is difficult to clean in the future, and it affects their appearance.
By the way, LED ceiling lamps with gaps also suppress the height of the floor, making the originally low-rise house look even more depressing. When the lighting shines down, the shadows on the ceiling are very ugly.
LED ceiling lamps that are close to the ceiling are very good, with good sealing, so that dust and mosquitoes cannot get in, and they can be wiped lightly with a dry cloth when cleaning. Without suppressing the height of the floor, short apartments can also be bright, the light is even and there is no dead corner, which is beautiful and practical.
2. Don’t choose the PP material for the cover; choose acrylic material or a diffuser cover
Some LED ceiling lamps are cheap, and many people buy them for their cheapness. As a result, the lampshade turns yellow and brittle after a period of time. The lighting transmittance is also poor, and the bottom light is dim as if covered by a layer of fog, and there is no sense of atmosphere.
The diffuser materials will make the UGR<19, which is very good for our eyes.
The acrylic lampshade has high light transmittance, and the light is clear and bright, which makes the room bright.
These materials are strong and wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and aging-resistant. It can be used for several years as new. It is absolutely worth spending a little more money to buy it.
3. Don’t choose the one with the missing spectrum; choose the one with a full spectrum
Some lamps have incomplete spectrum and excessive blue light. Staying under this kind of light for a long time will cause dry and swollen eyes, and will also interfere with the biological clock and make it difficult to sleep at night. Moreover, the lamp with a missing spectrum has a poor color rendering effect, and the colors of clothes and paintings are distorted.
Full-spectrum ceiling lamps are like bringing the “little sun” home. The light is highly similar to natural light, can accurately restore the true color of objects, and is comfortable for the eyes.
Both the elderly and children benefit, and protect the eyesight of the whole family.
4. Do not choose a CRI(color rendering index)>75; choose the CRI>90
LED ceiling lamps with a low color rendering index are “color killers”.
Under its irradiation, the red sofa becomes dark red, the green plants lose their vitality, and the food has no appetite.
Being in such a lighting environment for a long time, the aesthetics are affected, and the eyes’ ability to distinguish colors degenerates.
Ceiling lamps with a high CRI (color rendering index) > 90. The light they emit is like daylight. Every detail and every color in the house is perfectly presented, which makes it comfortable.
5. Do not choose the flicker ceiling light; choose the flicker-free ceiling light.
Long-term exposure to flickering lights not only causes eye fatigue and dryness but may also induce eye diseases and even affect the nervous system, leading to headaches and insomnia.
Choosing a flicker-free LED ceiling lamp will not cause these troubles. The lighting is stable, and the eyes will not be tired even if staring for a long time. You can immerse yourself in it for study, work, leisure, and entertainment, and protect your eyes.
6. You can consider choosing a ceiling lamp with 3CCT (Correlated Color Temperature )
The signal color temperature surface-mounted LED ceiling lamps have constant lighting and are suitable for most families. They focus on peace of mind, durability, and economy.
If there is a strong demand for scene switching, and families who often watch movies or party, you can consider using an LED ceiling lamp with a 3CCT switch. Cold white(5000-6000K), warm white(2700-3000K), and natural white(4000-4500K) can be switched at will, and the brightness can be adjusted freely. According to these 6 tips, maybe you can choose the best LED ceiling lamp for your living room.
