What are the advantages and disadvantages of chandeliers and ceiling lights?

The living room is the most active place for a family, so the lighting design of this space is particularly important. As is well known, we can choose from various lighting designs in the living room. But most people still struggle when making purchases and don't know how to choose. So, let's introduce and explain the advantages and disadvantages of chandeliers and ceiling lights to everyone through Jiuzheng Lighting Network? Is it better to choose chandeliers or ceiling lights for living room lighting? Come and take a look together!
What are the advantages and disadvantages of chandeliers and ceiling lights
Advantages and disadvantages of chandeliers:
1. A common feature of chandeliers is that they come in a variety of materials, including metal, glass, marble, plastic, and even paper.
2. The advantage of chandeliers is their aesthetics. A European style decoration design like that is particularly suitable for installing chandeliers, and the entire home's level instantly rises.
3. The drawback of chandeliers is also evident, which is the high lamination. Because the pendant lamp will hang down to a certain height, it is not suitable to install the pendant lamp if the floor height is too low. There is a sense of narrowing, and the more suitable height is 2.2m from the ground.
Advantages and disadvantages of ceiling lights:
1. Ceiling lights rely on rooftop mounted fixtures, with a relatively flat upper part and minimal height. The old style ceiling light source had white bulbs and fluorescent lamps, but now the light source of ceiling lights is LED.
2. The advantages of ceiling lights are numerous, including simple installation, elegant style, and high cost-effectiveness. Among them, the advantage is that they do not stack high, and you can install ceiling lights no matter how high your home is.
3. The disadvantage of ceiling lights is that when installing them, it is important to be careful not to come into contact with flammable materials. Because ceiling lamps with incandescent tubes are prone to heat generation, they may cause a fire when in contact with flammable materials, posing a certain safety hazard.
Is it better to choose chandeliers or ceiling lights for living room lighting?
1. From an appearance perspective
If you choose the right style of chandelier, then the appearance of the chandelier is definitely perfect for ceiling lighting. For friends who pursue height, a luxurious and elegant, crystal clear chandelier is the perfect choice. Although ceiling lamps are now rich in style, warm and elegant, they still lag behind the exquisite chandeliers in terms of elegance.
2. From the perspective of apartment type
Duplex building
If your house is a duplex building, don't hesitate to install large chandeliers directly in the living room! The living room of the duplex building has a very high floor height, and the chandeliers that occupy a large space are just in use. Not only are they beautiful and generous, but they also fill the emptiness brought by the high floor height. Of course, cleaning chandeliers can be challenging.
Large-sized apartment
For small units below 80 square meters, I do not recommend considering chandeliers (unless you choose a customized version); Chandeliers are not suitable for living rooms with lower heights. Otherwise, not only will it not bring warmth and harmony to your living room, but it will also make the originally limited space appear more cramped, and both the host and guests will experience a sense of oppression.
3. Practical considerations
If only from a practical perspective, the light distribution emitted by ceiling lamps is very uniform and gentle, making them more suitable for daily household use. And now most ceiling lights can provide three types of light sources: warm white light, positive white light, and warm yellow light, which can be freely selected according to different seasons and preferences!
4. Decorative effect
When choosing chandeliers, we not only use them for daily lighting, but also for decorating the space in the home. Therefore, the style of the chandelier should be consistent with the overall decoration style of the home. For a magnificent design, we should choose European style chandeliers, classical and elegant Chinese style chandeliers should choose Chinese style chandeliers, and so on. If the style is not unified, it will leave an impression of disorder and incoherence, so we must choose according to the actual situation.
5. Material selection
Material of lampshade and lampholder
Choosing a ceiling lamp not only depends on the lamp type, but also on the material of the lamp holder and lampshade. Some unknown and miscellaneous ceiling lamps use flammable materials, which greatly increases the possibility of fire. Therefore, when choosing, it is important to choose branded lighting fixtures.
Selection of Luminaire Materials
In fact, whether choosing chandeliers or ceiling lights, it is best to choose LED lights for lighting fixtures. Compared to ordinary light bulbs, they have advantages in terms of service life and energy efficiency, and have smaller power, lower pressure on household wires, and are less prone to heating.
