5 tips for choosing your new designer ceiling light
• Purpose: Start by considering the purpose of the ceiling light. Are you looking for bright, direct task lighting, soft general lighting, or a decorative ceiling light fixture that creates a warm ambience? Narrow your options accordingly.
• Pendant or flush mount: Ceiling lights come in two main types: pendant lights and flush mount lamps. Pendant lamps can range from simple cords with bulbs to elaborate chandeliers or sculptural shades, while flush mount lights include small spotlights as well as striking designs with intricate shades.
• Materials: The material of a ceiling lamp influences both its look and the quality of light it emits. Ceiling lamps with glass, paper, and textile shades diffuse light softly, while wooden ceiling lights add a warm, natural touch. Metal is the most versatile material for modern ceiling lights.
• Size and proportions: Ensure the size of the ceiling lamp fits the space. Avoid a crowded look by leaving enough empty space around the fixture. In larger rooms, go bold with an oversized chandelier or group smaller ceiling lights into a cohesive arrangement.
• Dimmability: If you want to adjust the brightness throughout the day, a dimmable ceiling light is an excellent choice. A dimmable fixture easily transitions from bright task lighting to cosy mood lighting.
How to select the right brightness for a ceiling lamp?
For decorative or ambient ceiling lights, a low luminous flux – typically under 250 lumens – is usually sufficient. For dining areas, aim for 450 lumens or more, depending on the room size and whether it doubles as a workspace. For task-specific overhead lighting, opt for higher lumens, ranging from 800 to 2500 lumens, depending on the space.
