However, there is no harm in understanding the installation method of lamps first. Learning more knowledge may be useful in the future. Let’s take a look at the installation specifications of lighting lamps.
Lamp installation method
Ceiling type
The illuminator is attached to the ceiling, which is suitable for buildings with a bright ceiling and a low room. This installation method often has a brighter ceiling, but it is easy to generate glare, and the utilization rate of light flux is not high.
Embedded
Most or all of the luminaire is embedded in the ceiling, leaving only the light-emitting surface exposed. Suitable for low rooms. Generally speaking, the ceiling is dark and the lighting efficiency is not high. If the ceiling reflection is relatively high, the lighting effect can be improved.
Pendant
The luminaire is suspended from the ceiling. According to the different hanging materials, it can be divided into line hanging type, chain hanging type and pipe hanging type. This luminaire is close to the work surface and is often used for general lighting in buildings.
Wall
The illuminator snaps to the wall. The wall lamp cannot be used as the main illuminator for general lighting, but can only be used as auxiliary lighting, which is full of decorative effects. Due to the low installation height, it is easy to become a glare source, so a low-power light source is mostly used.
branch-shaped combination type
The illuminator is composed of multiple branch-shaped lamps to form a certain pattern, commonly known as lantern. Generally hanging or ceiling type, mainly decorative lighting. Large lanterns are often used in large building halls, and small lanterns can also be used in hotels, conference halls, etc.
In-Wall Type
Most or all of the luminaire is embedded in the wall or floor, and only a small light-emitting surface is exposed. This kind of luminaire is often used as a floor lamp, used as a night lamp indoors, or as a late-night lighting lamp for corridors and stairs, so as to avoid affecting the rest of others at night.
Desktop
Mainly used for local lighting, such as placed on desks, workbenches, etc.
courtyard style
