What is the main light? Auxiliary light? How do they distinguish?

The main lamp is the main light source lamp, the lamp closest to the figure, the lamp with the strongest intensity, and the lamp showing the light source line itself. Auxiliary lights are generally lights that outline the lines of characters or compensate for dark details. To put it bluntly, it means the light that hits the back or side a little farther and weaker.

The arrangement of lamps and lanterns in the living room can refer to the following methods:

Main lighting:

The main lighting provides a large area of lighting for the living room space. Usually the light source of this task is the chandelier or ceiling lamp above, which can be matched with different styles according to the preferences of residents. For example, luxurious snowflake chandeliers, crystal lamps and handmade glass lamps are all good choices. If the lighting design in Europe is taken as an example, the Nordic style is simple and calm, which is suitable for minimalist collocation. Italian design, emphasizing design sense and texture, reflects each other with post-modern style; Austrian or Irish crystal lamps are properly combined with neoclassicism and Victorian style; Spain's original stone, after the completion of the work, is the representative of nobility and luxury.

When using chandeliers, we should pay attention to the uniformity of brightness in the upper and lower spaces. If the brightness difference between the ceiling and the lower activity space is too large, it will make the living room look very dark and uncomfortable. A room with a floor height of less than 2.6 meters should not use gorgeous multi-head chandeliers, which makes people feel heavy and depressed, as if the space has become crowded. In addition, when choosing the main light, if the lampshade mouth can be selected upwards, the light will shine on the ceiling, and then the reflected light will make people feel softer and more relaxed.

Auxiliary lighting:

Auxiliary lighting generally refers to small lamps such as wall lamps, desk lamps and vertical lamps, which are used as auxiliary lighting to enhance the sense of light layering. Wall lamps are mostly installed in porch, corridor or hall, mainly used to guide the direction; Recently, however, the choice of lamp shapes has increased, and many families use bi lamps to decorate corners, which makes them unique.

Vertical lamps are also often used as auxiliary lighting. Consider the height of the ceiling when using the floor lamp. If the ceiling is too low, the light can only be concentrated in local areas, which will make people feel that the light is too bright and not soft enough. The biggest advantage of vertical lamp is that it is easy to move; It is also very practical for creating a corner atmosphere. If the lighting mode of floor lamp is direct projection, it is suitable for reading and other activities that need to concentrate. If it is indirect lighting, different light changes can be matched interactively. At present, there are many special and well-designed vertical lamps on the market, which not only play the role of lighting, but also naturally add a lot of color to the living room.

The table lamp beside the coffee table is an auxiliary or accent lighting, which can supplement the deficiency of embedded lighting and can also be used as the key local lighting source of reading lamp. Some desk lamps are designed to be connected with coffee tables and small round tables, and their functions are combined, which is also a good choice. The lampshades of many desk lamps can be replaced at will according to the season or the use of the living room; Add a lot of fun to life.

In addition, compared with the above lamps, the embedded lamps have little change in appearance; However, different reflectors, filters, shutters and bulbs can be combined to adjust different light effects. Embedded lamps do not occupy space and are suitable for softening the space atmosphere. If you want to create a warm feeling, you can try to install several embedded lights to reduce the pressure on the space.
