How To Find The Perfect Light Leave a comment

Bulbs are not something that you buy every day. Most times it is something that people only buy when they are shifting homes or when the old ones stop working, which is not that common with light bulbs as they are made to last an extensive amount of time. So it is wise to buy a light bulb that is perfect for your house and lights it up just the way you want it to. There is almost an endless amount of the kinds of lightbulbs and other lights that you can buy, the most important things are the dimension and angle of the light, the size of the room the size of the light, and the kind of light that you are looking for. Let’s dig a little deeper into how these factors come into play.

Dimensions of the room

The dimensions of the room can play a very important role in how the light will look in that room. If the room is large and you buy a smaller light, the room will not be properly illuminated. Similarly, if the room is small and you buy a bigger light the room will seem really bright and tacky. That is why it is important to keep a balance between the size of the light depending on the size of your room. This might seem like a really small detail but it is very significant and can have a sizeable effect on how your room looks. Lights also go in more places than just rooms and everywhere they have to be put, the environment and the light have to work together to make the place look good. If the two don’t go well together, no matter how good of a light you bought, it will not look good.

Angle of light

The angle at which the light hits a room is also very important. Most people make the mistake of facing their light bulbs downwards which makes these bulbs throw light directly at the ground. Not only does this undermine the capability of the light but it also provides your room with less illumination as the light has nowhere to bounce from. The light should always be fixed facing upwards so that it can hit the ceiling and bounce the light off to provide more illumination throughout the room. If you want to make a circular pattern on the floor using lights, buy a low wattage bulb and place it facing downwards so that you can achieve a good looking small circular pattern.

Size and construction of a room

The size of the room where the light is being placed has an important role to play. Rooms come in different shapes and sizes and not all rooms are made the same way. Some have different textures and shapes, some have different paint on them and all these different room patterns and paints can affect the way light looks in each room.

Size and construction of the light

Just like rooms, all lights are not made the same way and different lights are made for different places such as Bollard Lights are made to be put outside the house in the backyard or the front porch and Pendant Lights are made to be put inside the house. The size of your light should depend on the size of the room that you have to put it in and the design of the light is entirely up to your choice.

Type of light

Lights come in many different shapes and sizes and each light has its own uses. Street light is made to be used in the streets, floodlights are made to be used in stadiums, tack lights are made to be used in shops and display centers, panel lights are made to be used in offices and building floors and outdoor lights are made to be used in backyards or front porches. All of these lights have different uses depending on how they are built and if you were to place any of these lights in a place where they don’t belong. They will still function but it will end up looking very weird. So choose lights correctly and according to their uses.
