General lighting is needed in every room
It makes it comfortable to be in a room, setting the mood for work, relaxation or dinner with the family.
The most common solution for rooms is general lighting from one or more sources, with the addition of lighting scenes using LED strips or accent luminaires.
However, each room has its own recommendations, both for the hue of the light (colour temperature) and its intensity (illuminance).
Living and dining rooms
– are places where family and friends gather and socialise.
These rooms have one thing in common: they are filled with a friendly, homely atmosphere.
«Warm» light is an easy way to create a cosy atmosphere.
This is why warm white light (3000-4000 K) and 150 lux illuminance are used in these rooms.
Lighting perspectives
Kitchens serve two very similar but different purposes when it comes to lighting: cooking and eating.
While the cooking area is a workplace, the dining area usually requires a relaxed atmosphere for a family dinner or a friendly lunch.
Therefore, the colour temperature can range from warm (3000K) to neutral (4000K), with a general lighting level of 150 lux.
Bedroom lighting
The bedroom is a place to relax.
Lighting plays a very important role in preparing you for sleep.
Warm tones evoke the atmosphere of a sunset and help you tune into a calm and deep sleep.
Therefore, the best solution for such a room would be a colour temperature of 2200-3000K and an illuminance of up to 150 lux.
Lighting for a child’s bedroom or playroom
Children’s rooms usually combine several functions – they are study rooms, playrooms and bedrooms.
That’s why the colour temperature and brightness control function of VIOLUX SMART luminaires is best suited to these rooms.
The optimum colour temperature for these rooms can vary from 3000K to 4000K and the total illumination is 150-300 lux.
Workspaces
– are areas where you need to concentrate.
The cool white colour (4000 K) allows you to maintain a pleasant working atmosphere, while the 300 lux illumination prevents eye strain when reading.
Adaptive artificial lighting
should change throughout the day as the Sun moves from west to east.
We can recreate this process with VIOLUX LED SMART luminaires by changing the brightness and hue of the light.
This option allows you to recreate the atmosphere of the first rays of the sun at 2700K, the bright sun at its zenith at 5000K in your home.
