1. Chandelier Types ✨

Chandeliers come in several styles based on light distribution. Choose the perfect design to enhance your living space and support an eco-friendly lifestyle:

• Omnidirectional Diffusion:

Featuring a spherical glass lampshade, this type evenly disperses light in every direction. It produces a soft, non-glare illumination ideal for living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms.

• Shielded Lampshade:

This design directs light solely downward, creating a focused pool of light on the table or floor. It works well when paired with additional ceiling or indirect lighting, minimizing energy waste by focusing light where needed.

• Translucent Lampshade:

Similar to the omnidirectional type, this option allows light to seep through the lampshade while concentrating more brightness downward for accent lighting in key areas.

• Linear Designs:

Available in both downward-only and dual-directional formats (upward and downward). Its slim, modern profile is excellent for dining tables or workspaces—helping to create a clean, streamlined look that complements eco-friendly and energy-saving interiors.

2. Luminous Flux & Illuminance 🔆

In the LED era, wattage alone no longer determines brightness. Instead, focus on:

• Luminous Flux:

Measured in lumens (lm), it indicates the total amount of light emitted by a fixture—ensuring energy efficiency for an environmentally conscious home.

• Illuminance:

Measured in lux (lx), it shows the intensity of light on a surface. Optimizing this parameter enhances both energy savings and visual comfort.

For a greener lighting strategy, use these guidelines:

• Luminous Flux = Illuminance × Area × 1.2

• Illuminance × Area = Luminous Efficacy × Wattage

A higher luminous flux is essential for large spaces to prevent dark corners, while proper illuminance provides a balanced atmosphere with lower energy consumption.

3. Bedroom Lighting 🛏️

Create a relaxing and environmentally responsible bedroom environment by choosing lighting that enhances comfort without overwhelming the space:

• Avoid Overhead Pressure:

Do not install a chandelier directly above the bed to prevent a heavy, oppressive atmosphere. Instead, consider flush-mount lights, wall sconces, or a small chandelier on one bedside table paired with energy-efficient wall lighting on the other side.

• Design & Placement:

Select a sleek chandelier with a diameter of 25 cm or less for a light, airy look. Position it about 30–50 cm above bedside furniture and approximately 100 cm above the floor to optimize both style and energy usage.

• Color Coordination:

For lighter wall colors, choose a darker fixture (black, gold, brown, or natural wood) to create a striking contrast：With darker walls, opt for delicate light fixtures that minimize visual bulk and help lower energy consumption：

4. Dining Room Lighting 🍽️

A well-chosen dining room chandelier from arternulume combines aesthetics, functionality, and environmental mindfulness:

• Optimal Light Direction:

Direct the light downward to efficiently illuminate the dining table, reducing unnecessary upward light that wastes energy.

• Color Rendering & Color Temperature:

Choose bulbs with a high color rendering index (90+ Ra) and a warm white temperature (3000–4000K) to naturally enhance food colors, stimulate appetite, and create a welcoming, energy-efficient ambiance.

• Size & Height:

Maintain a distance of 80–100 cm above the table for balanced illumination.

• Round Tables: Use a circular fixture with a diameter ranging between one-third to one-half of the table’s diameter.

• Rectangular Tables: Opt for a linear or grouped design that follows established ratios, ensuring optimal light distribution with minimal energy use.

5. Living Room Lighting 🛋️

Enhance your living space with a chandelier that is both a design statement and energy efficient:

• Choosing the Right Size:

For living rooms over 20 m², select a striking, modern chandelier that also meets energy efficiency standards. In smaller spaces, a stylish flush-mount light can provide the necessary ambient lighting with reduced power consumption.

• Dimension Formula:

A recommended guideline is:

Chandelier Size = (Room Length + Room Width) / 12

This formula ensures the design fits proportionally within your space.

• Height Considerations:

Ensure the chandelier’s bottom is at least 2.2 m above the floor to avoid obstructions during daily activities. For areas used for TV viewing, maintain a minimum height of 1.9 m to optimize both function and energy use.
