Everyone knows that adequate illumination of a room is the key to the comfort of those who are in it. Therefore, artificial lighting is simply necessary. How to organize it as efficiently as possible?
Today, no one argues that natural and artificial lighting should go, as they say, side by side. Not so long ago, information circulated in society that mixed lighting is harmful to vision. But science does not stand still, and this statement has been refuted.
It should be understood that artificial lighting, or rather its organization, will largely depend on which side the windows of the house face, whether they are covered by trees, and many other factors. Moreover, it may be that in one building the rooms are completely differently lit. Also, you must certainly take into account the tendencies and needs of those who will be indoors. Yes, and the purpose of the premises.
For example, in office premises, artificial lighting is usually quite bright and centralized. The individual needs of each employee are rarely considered. But this situation is not hopeless! It is quite possible to bring along a table lamp or a floor lamp, which will become the solution to the problem of insufficient lighting. And if there is too much light, then you can try to change places with one of your colleagues.
As for how artificial lighting at home will be, then everything depends entirely on you. But it is definitely worth noting that to hang a chandelier in each room, and even confine oneself to it, is not the right approach. The chandelier, of course, should be in the room. But! Not always its power is enough to properly illuminate the entire room. And the cost of electricity can simply “roll over”. Therefore, a more rational solution is the use of a medium brightness chandelier, supplemented by local lighting. So, for example, there can be a lamp near the chair, which will be used for reading, and near the computer you can put a special lamp that will make the work comfortable. And in the kitchen it’s worth putting special lamps on work surfaces that will make housework more productive.
The quality of artificial lighting will depend on which lamps are used. It is better to refuse incandescent lamps. They do not give a powerful light flux, but they consume a lot of electricity. A worthy alternative is fluorescent lamps, which are somewhat more expensive than their "ancestors", but quickly pay off.
By the way, do not forget that light is necessary not only for people. Plants need it to the same extent! Therefore, it is necessary to reflect on how to organize artificial lighting of plants. Here, fluorescent light sources will also be the best solution. After all, they can be located quite close to the plant, without fear of harming it. It is recommended to turn on the backlight in summer for an average of 3-4 hours, and in winter - for 6-8.
That's so simple!
