Dining room lamps have chic and charm

Metal, glass, plastic, paper or textile, purely a question of good taste and their own style of furnishing. When question hanging, pendulum or ceiling lightHowever, mindfulness is required in the selection. In most cases, the dining room light is probably the direct lighting of the dining table. In this case, a ceiling lamp is rather not suitable because it does not provide enough light to the table due to the far distance. A ceiling lighting could possibly be suitable for large rooms as an additional solution. The ceiling light serves as a light source, which illuminates the room itself and a separate lamp illuminates the table. In order to obtain a perfect illumination of the dining table, a pendant or pendant lamp should be mounted directly above the table. The rule is: about 60 centimeters height difference to the table top. Experts recommend this for the achievement of pleasant lighting conditions without glare effect as well as the complete illumination of the table.

For pure table lighting, the lamp shape should be adapted to the size and shape of the table. With the simple motto: round table equals round lamp. For square tables, it depends on the length of the table. At lesser length is a single-flame hanging or pendant lightsufficient. For longer tables, or even extendable tables, it would be useful to a multi-lamp lamp, e.g. with bulbs in series next to each other.

Pendant lights, as the name already describes, are not rigid and move in contrast to hanging lamps, e.g. in a draft. Many versions of both models can be sophisticated cable systemsor adjust similar connections in height. Depending on the use of the dining area, possibly as an additional workstation, the regulation of the brightness can also be decisive. Please note that stepless dimming is only guaranteed with halogen lamps. For LED or energy-saving lamps, this functionality must be explicitly confirmed by the manufacturer. The type of bulbs is also crucial in color selection.

The bulbs are the decisive criterion

Dining lamps are not just chic and charm, they should also spread the right light in the room. Therefore, the decision for the right light source is just as important as shape and design. There are halogen, LED or energy-saving lamps available that vary greatly in color, light intensity and lifetime.

It should be noted here that the following information applies to bulbs since the end of the light bulb. The indication Lumen provides information about the brightness. The larger the number, the brighter the light source. Kelven gives the information about the light color. The higher the number, the more light equals daylight, and the lower the number, the warmer the light.

Energy-saving lamps are suitable for higher illuminance levels than LED lamps, but often require a longer start-up time. In contrast to LEDs, which usually produce a bluish appearance and thus rather colder light, halogen lamps with warm white radiation are the variant for more comfortable lighting conditions. In terms of power consumption, LED and energy-saving versions are ahead of the halogen lamps. The advantage of LED lights is also a very long service life, which is generally given as an average of 20 years. Also, the fact that the light emitting diodes do not get hot because they do not give off heat themselves is a positive effect. In the LED area even color changer are possible, but this affects in a clean dining room atmosphere rather disturbing. Here it makes more sense to adhere to the usual light conditions for the eye.
