LED lighting for a house

Before the purchase of a new home, the reform of one or, simply, for a decorative change in a house, the doubts about how to light a room are the first ones to consider. The lighting of any room cannot be left to chance. Making certain mistakes can mean breaking up certain decorative decisions, and even perceive shapes and environments that were not desired at first.

It is normal, therefore, to consider slowly and carefully the keys to plan and take full advantage of the lighting of a house.  Here are some specific tips that should be taken into account from the beginning:

• How many points of light do you consider necessary?
• What will each room in the house be used for?
• What separation between points of light, and how much space, must there be?

Analysis of options and possibilities

When making decisions about lighting a house there is a prerequisite: estimate how many points of light are required. It is not a minor fact, since based on this forecast, for example, the number of power outlets necessary to complete the project successfully is determined.

Similarly, the final destination of each room should not be missed. It is undoubtedly one of the details that will determine what type of lighting is necessary and how many devices are required for the final purpose. It is not the same to illuminate a bathroom than a bedroom; In this second room, surely the creation of different environments is valued and additional lights will be needed, for example, to work or read.

For reasons of design and energy efficiency, you should not fall into the error of creating rooms with more lighting than is necessary to avoid distorting the environment you want to create; neither should shadow areas be created, or obsolete light bulbs used. Keep in mind that many lights spend a huge amount of hours on, and that is why the selection of LED lighting options becomes especially important.

How many led spotlights per square meter are needed?

The calculation of lighting per square meter must be done taking into account the dimensions of the space in question. The 10m2 measure can be taken as a reference: if it measures less, only the installation of a light point will be necessary. Therefore, the installation of LED light points can be increased per 10 m2. You can also work with another type of measurement, which will also allow you to easily know how many luminaires will be needed: 4W per square meter. The power of each team is always reflected in its technical specifications.
