When designing lighting schemes, selecting the right fixtures for each space is essential. However, with the wide variety of lighting options available, understanding their performance and characteristics is the first step in making an informed choice. Here’s an overview of the common types of lighting fixtures used in residential settings:
**Chandelier**
*Features:*
1) Decorative lighting fixtures;
2) Best suited for spaces with high ceilings;
3) Often uses specialty bulbs like incandescent or fluorescent lamps.
*Notes:*
1) Many chandeliers are bulky and heavy;
2) Installation can be direct-mounted or hung via ceiling hooks;
3) Heavy fixtures may require structural reinforcement of the ceiling.
**Floor Lamp**
*Features:*
1) Versatile lighting fixtures;
2) Available in various styles and heights, affecting light dispersion;
3) Lampshades come in transparent or diffusing designs;
4) Most floor lamps are plug-and-play, making placement flexible.
*Notes:*
Ensure there’s a nearby outlet before installing one, especially when planning your lighting layout.
**Ceiling Light**
*Features:*
1) Mounted flush with the ceiling for even illumination;
2) Often serves as primary lighting in homes;
3) Uses circular fluorescent lamps with acrylic shades for soft lighting;
4) Control options include wall switches or remote controls with dimming features.
*Notes:*
Verify compatibility between the ceiling hook and the fixture’s base based on the manufacturer’s instructions. Common hooks include square, round, or full-hanging types.
**Pendant Light**
*Features:*
1) Suspended from the ceiling by cables or chains;
2) Comes in numerous sizes and styles;
3) Installation can be straightforward or require direct ceiling mounting or guide rails.
*Notes:*
1) Ensure the ceiling hook supports the weight of the pendant;
2) Chains and cables add weight over time;
3) If using guide rails, confirm compatibility with the lighting system’s power supply and switches.
**Outdoor Lighting**
*Features:*
1) Includes doorpost lights, downlights, spotlights, and garden lights;
2) Waterproof fixtures are standard;
3) Security sensors can enhance nighttime safety;
4) Design should focus on both aesthetics and security.
*Notes:*
1) Even waterproof fixtures shouldn’t be placed in flood-prone areas;
2) Outdoor installations need proper drainage and should be planned during construction.
**Wall Sconce**
*Features:*
1) Mounted on walls for accent or auxiliary lighting;
2) Used in hallways, staircases, or as indirect lighting.
*Notes:*
Confirm dimensions and clearance to avoid obstructing pathways or causing accidents.
**Footlight**
*Features:*
1) Illuminates the ground level;
2) Often used as mood lighting or emergency flashlights;
3) Motion sensors can automate activation.
*Notes:*
1) Typically installed 250–300mm above the ground;
2) Outdoor footlights are often buried in concrete boxes during construction.
**Recessed Light**
*Features:*
1) Embedded in ceilings for unobtrusive lighting;
2) Supports various light sources like fluorescent or LED;
3) Options include general illumination, directional lighting, adjustable angles, and wall washing.
*Notes:*
1) Residential models typically use E26 or E17 sockets, depending on size;
2) Match insulation methods (SB, SGI, SG types) with ceiling construction.
**Track Light**
*Features:*
1) Mounts on rails for focused lighting;
2) Bolt-type allows post-construction adjustments;
3) Flanged versions offer sleeker aesthetics.
*Notes:*
Avoid installing too many bolt-type track lights on the same rail, as they may appear overly prominent on standard ceilings. Limit to 2–3 rails per 1000mm.
These lighting fixtures cater to diverse needs, ensuring functionality and style in any home setting.
