The primary functions of a bedroom are rest and sleep. So, what wattage of bedroom lighting is appropriate?

The wattage of bedroom lights ranges from 10 to 100W, and the specific wattage depends on the size of the bedroom and the type of bulb. Taking LED lights as an example:

for a bedroom with an area of 54-108ft²(5-10m²), choose a bulb with a wattage of 13-25W;
for a bedroom with an area of 108-161ft²(10-15m²), choose a bulb with a wattage of 25-38W;
for a bedroom with an area between 161-215ft²(15-20m²), choose a bulb with a wattage of 38-50W;
for a bedroom with an area greater than 215ft²(20m²), choose a bulb with a wattage greater than 50W.

Before purchasing lighting, you can consider the following activities you will engage in based on your personal habits to select the appropriate lighting: reading books/using mobile phones/iPads before sleep, habits of getting up in midnight, finding/storing clothing, dressing up, etc. 

Based on the above scenarios, bedroom lighting is mainly divided into the following three categories: basic lighting, bedside lighting, and localized lighting.

1. Basic Lighting

Bedroom basic lighting is used to illuminate the entire room and is highly important. There are two options: no master lamp lighting and master lamp lighting, which involve installing a main lamp, light strips, or downlights. Depending on style, room height, preferences, and other factors, the main lamp can be further divided into pendant lamps and ceiling-mounted lamps.

For bedrooms ≤108ft²(10m²), it is recommended to use one large lamp in combination with other smaller lamps. When purchasing lighting, you can inquire with the seller about the lighting area of the main lamp to ensure sufficient brightness.

2. Bedside Lighting

Bedside lighting is generally classified into two types based on functional needs:

1. To fulfill the need for reading in bed, you can choose wall lamps, floor lamps, or desk lamps.

2. To create a sleeping atmosphere, you can choose warm light sources, like bedside light strips, bedside lamp.

3. Localized Lighting

Localized lighting refers to areas in the bedroom besides the sleeping area, including a study and leisure area, wardrobe storage area, and floor area, etc.

Study Area Lighting: Desk lamps, Study desk lamps, and Eye-care lamps. The desk lamp should be placed on the left front of the desk to avoid glare and protect vision. Additionally, adjust the lampshade to an appropriate position so that our eyes are approximately 16inch(40cm) away from the desk lamp and about 24inch(60cm) horizontally from the light source.

Wardrobe Storage Area Lighting: Motion sensor light.

Floor Area Lighting: Floor lamps, Motion sensor light belts.

The kitchen is one of the places in the home that requires the brightest lighting. Choosing a suitable light can not only enhance the cooking experience but also make the entire dining room appear more cozy and modern.

If you're struggling with selecting a kitchen chandelier, take a look at this buying guide below to pick your best kitchen light.

Brightness

The main light in the kitchen provides overall illumination, while local lighting takes care of functional lighting. These two types of lighting complement each other, making the kitchen brighter and more user-friendly.

Quantity

Typically, one chandelier, pendant light, or flush mount light, 1-2 strips of LED lights as assistance, and optionally downlights or spotlights based on your needs.

Color Temperature

When selecting kitchen lighting, pay attention to the color of the light. Generally, cool-toned lighting is preferable in the kitchen.

Type

Flush Mount Lights
Flush mount lights are ideal for small kitchen spaces. They provide general lighting without taking up space. You can choose a simple design or a more decorative style to create subtle highlights.

Semi-flush mount ceiling lights hang from the ceiling at a height of around 30cm or less. They are suitable for kitchens with higher ceilings, especially above areas where people move frequently. They provide general lighting while being more visually interesting than recessed lights and less space-consuming than chandeliers.

Pendant Lights
Pendant lights are suitable for higher ceilings. Unlike chandeliers, each pendant light has a single light source. They provide excellent task lighting for countertops and kitchen islands while also serving as a decorative element.

Pendant Lights with Shade
Shade pendant lights are another excellent choice for higher ceilings. They feature a shade around the light source. When the shade is made of opaque glass or fabric, it softens and diffuses the light, making them a great option for creating a relaxed atmosphere above dining tables.

Linear Pendant Lights
As another option for accent and task lighting, these long straight fixtures hang from the ceiling, distributing light evenly along their length. They help minimize shadows and glare, working well over kitchen islands.

Choosing a chandelier for your home is a blend of functionality and aesthetics that can significantly enhance the beauty and ambiance of your living spaces. Whether you're looking to add a touch of elegance to your living room or create a focal point in your dining area, follow this comprehensive guide to select your chandelier in our store.

1. Consider the Location and Lighting Needs

The first step in selecting a chandelier is to assess the lighting requirements of the room. Different activities, such as reading, watching TV, or hosting guests, require varying levels of light intensity. For living rooms and dining areas, a chandelier that provides ample, yet soft, illumination is ideal. Consider the room's specific use and the amount of natural light it receives to determine the appropriate brightness level.

2. Match the Design Style

Ensure that the chandelier's design complements the overall style of your home. Modern minimalist spaces suit sleek, streamlined chandeliers, while traditional or vintage-inspired homes may prefer Nordic and crystal light fixtures. Take note of the architectural elements, color palette, and furniture style in the room to ensure a cohesive look.

3. Select the Right Size & Height

The size of the chandelier should be proportional to the room's dimensions. A large chandelier for a small space can feel overwhelming, while one that's too small may get lost in a larger room. As a general guideline:

• For a 12’*15’ room, aim for a chandelier with a diameter of around 27”. Follow this formula: Room Length + Room Width (in feet) = Chandelier Width (in inch)
• For dining areas, the width of the chandelier should be approximately one-half to two-thirds the width of the table.

Consider the room's height as well. Some chandeliers come with adjustable heights or lengths of chain/cord, allowing you to customize the fixture's position to suit your room's ceiling height.

• Generally, to take the room height and multiply it x 2.5 or 3.
• A low-ceilinged room may require a flush-mount or semi-flush-mount chandelier to avoid feeling too imposing.

Bedrooms are suitable for softer light sources like energy-saving bulbs; while higher brightness is necessary for studies, kid's rooms, and kitchens, where fluorescent lights are a good option. For living rooms and balconies, you can choose various types of fixtures based on personal preference.

5. Read Customer Reviews

Customer reviews can provide valuable insights into the performance and satisfaction levels of specific chandelier models. Look for reviews that mention factors such as lighting quality, ease of installation, and overall design appeal.
