Using a Lampshade In Decorative Lighting

29 April 2023 0
What is a Lampshade ? A lampshade is a cover used to prevent direct light from entering the human eye. Lampshades are also used in chandeliers and wall sconces, but they are usually used in table lamps and floor lamps. Lighting products that use lampshades provide a very soft and comfortable lighting to the environment. They generously fill the space with a simple sense of richness without causing glare or dazzle. Choosing the right lampshade can provide a comfortable ambiance in a corner side or inviting atmosphere in the entrance or hallway. Whether you're planning to completely renovate your home, moving into your first home, or simply looking for furniture accessories to add some brightness to your home. You can find all the lighting models with lampshades in the Avonni catalog. What to Consider When Choosing a Lampshade ? • The bulbs used in the lampshade should not be transparent. Soft bulbs(white outer layer) should be preferred if possible. When using transparent bulbs, the shadow of the filaments inside transparent bulbs is reflected on the lampshade fabric and reducing visual quality. When soft bulbs are used, shadows are eliminated and soft bulbs provide homogenous soft light. • If you are choosing a lampshade for your existing lamp, do not forget that the shape of the lampshade is also very important. Make sure to choose a lampshade that is compatible with the shape of your table lamp or floor lamp base. If the base of your table lamp or floor lamp is round, choose a round lampshade. If the base is square, choose a square lampshade. • The size of the lampshade is also very important. Lampshades with diameters of 40, 45, and 50 cm are generally used for floor lamps. The diameter of floor lamp bases is usually 30 or 40 cm. As the diameter of the base increases, make sure to choose a shade that is larger than the base diameter. When choosing a lampshade for your table lamp, consider the height of your lamp. Using a large shade on a short table lamp would be an incorrect application. • When deciding on the color of the lampshade material, start by determining the purpose of the lighting. Is it decorative or functional? If you want to use the lamp for creating an ambiance or reading, choose a semi-transparent lampshade material. If the lamp is only for decorative purposes, then you can use a material that allows less light to pass through or use dark colors. What Materials Should You Choose for Lampshade ? • Fabric materials can be specially produced to match the fabrics used in your room and can perfectly complement your room. Beautiful and elegant fabric lampshades add a stylish and luxurious touch to your home and have the ability to add warmth and comfort to even the simplest decorations. However, if the location where they will be used is a public area, cleaning fabric lampshades may be a bit more difficult compared to other materials. While fabric lampshades can be used in your living room, they are not often preferred in public spaces such as hotel lobbies. •  Parchment and parchment-like lampshades are excellent in terms of light diffusion. Additionally, they are very easy to clean. If they get damaged due to a sharp object hitting them, it may not be possible to repair them. They are the most preferred lampshade material in hotel rooms because they are inexpensive and easy to produce. • Fabric shades produced by applying a very thin fabric on a transparent plastic are the lampshade type that reflects luxury feeling the best. While the outer parts of these lampshades give a fabric feel, inner parts are made of transparent plastic. Cleaning is easier compared to parchment lampshades. They may be a bit more expensive compared to other materials.. A table lamp or floor lamp with a lampshade is a great way to bring a dazzling design to your home without spending money on an expensive decoration or furniture accessories. You can use it in your entrance, living room or at the sides of your bed in your bedroom. Using these products with chandeliers allows you to have light at different height levels and help turn your home into a complete cozy nest with multi-layered lighting.

Lighting Recommendations for Cafes

15 April 2023 0
When it comes to lighting in cafes, the goal is to create an atmosphere where customers feel comfortable, stay for a longer time, and want to come back again. Lighting fixtures come in various styles and forms, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the right lighting fixture will depend on the nature of your cafe space, the mood you want to create, and whether you need task lighting or ambient lighting. Utilize Both Types of Lighting (Ambient Lighting and Task Lighting) Ambient lighting is used to illuminate spaces without creating glare. It provides a soft and evenly distributed illumination throughout the area. Task lighting is used to highlight specific areas in the cafe such as work surfaces, display cases, counters, and tables. These lights should be bright enough to provide clear visibility but not excessively bright to cause discomfort. Using Low-Level Dim Lighting Using low-level dim lighting in a cafe helps create a more intimate atmosphere. Dim lights are often considered relaxing or romantic and encourage customers to linger in the cafe. To achieve this effect, it's recommended to use light sources with a low color temperature (around 2700K-3000K) and dimmable lighting fixtures. By adjusting the light level to be lower, you can create an ambiance, providing a sense of privacy for guests and enhancing the cozy atmosphere. However, when implementing low-level lighting in a cafe, it's important to ensure the safety and ease of navigation for both staff and customers. Task lighting should be used to provide adequate illumination in areas where people need to move around to prevent accidents ordiscomfort. What Should be the Color Temperature in Cafes? There are two main categories or colors of light bulbs: warm yellow and cool white. Cooler colors are best suited for the working areas of a cafe. The most important feature of cool- colored bulbs is that they stimulate a sense of energy and increase attention levels in people. You should use these bulbs in areas such as food preparation, and dishwashing areas. Warm-colored bulbs create a sense of comfort and relaxation in people. Individuals seeking relaxation tend to stay in such environments for longer periods of time. If you want customers to linger and spend more time in your cafe, warm bulbs are a must. However, if you are running a fast-food establishment, you may not want your customers to stay in the cafe for longer periods. In this case, you should prefer cool white bulbs instead of warm-colored ones. Cafe Counter Lighting Lamps that used to illuminate and showcase food on counters, the Color Rendering Index (CRI) values of the bulbs are crucial. People tend to choose food not only based on taste but also with their eyes, making food presentation extremely important, especially in cafes. Cakes, pastries, and all other food items served in the cafe should be presented to customers in their true, natural colors. The last thing you want is a flawed lighting choice that makes a great cake look bad. Color Rendering Index (CRI) can be defined as a measure of how accurately a light source reproduces the colors of the illuminated object. If you use bulbs with a low CRI value on counters, it can lead to improper display of product colors and goods do not look as it should. For countertop lighting, using pendant lights hung at regular intervals creates a more visually appealing cafe. Use an odd number of pendants if possible (3, 5, 7, etc.). Placing the center pendant in the middle of your counter helps maintain lighting and visual balance. When hanging the pendants over the counter, ensure they are at an appropriate height that doesn't obstruct the view of your cafe for the staff and customers. Use of Chandeliers and Large Pendants in Cafes Large pendants and chandeliers are essential decorative elements in cafes due to their visual impact. They perfectly enhance the ambiance and play a significant role in attracting people and making them feel comfortable. The entrance of a cafe should be warm and inviting, and one easy way to achieve this is by illuminating it with a sparkling chandelier, if your space and ceiling height allow for it. The large and dazzling chandelier will also leave a lasting impression on people passing by on the street. Allow your grand chandeliers to be visible from the outside. How should tables be illuminated in cafes? Candles can be used to create a dimly lit atmosphere on cafe tables, but a better solution is to use rechargeable, wireless table lamps that have become possible with advancing technology. These wireless table lamps eliminate the need for cables, avoiding any clutter on the tables. With adjustable light levels, the table can be illuminated brightly or dimmed to create a sense of privacy. Wireless table lamps are one of the easiest and most stylish ways to add prestige to a restaurant. Avonni offers a wide range of rechargeable wireless table lamps that will differentiate your cafe from competitors and add prestige to your establishment. Click here for more information.

Guide To Energy-Efficient Lighting

26 August 2022 0
Son 10 yılda aydınlatma teknolojindeki ilerlemelerle ışık kaynakları çok daha verimli bir hale geldi. Yeni ışık kaynakları eski nesil aydınlatmalara göre çok daha az enerji harcıyorlar ancak tüm dünyada artan enerji maliyetleri ve yüksek elektrik faturaları nedeniyle hepimiz daha fazla tasarruf istiyoruz. Bu yazımızda aydınlatma araçlarının kullanımında enerji tasarrufu nasıl yapılır onu inceledik. Enerji tasarrufu sadece sizin ödediǧiniz faturaları azaltmaz, çevreyi korumanıza da yardımcı olur. Hazırsanız başlayalım… Gün Işığından En İyi Şekilde Yararlanın Işıklar, her zaman gerekli olmasa da, özellikle ofislerde genellikle alışkanıktan yanar. Özellikle yaz aylarında gün ışığı rahatça çalışmak için yeterli olabilir. Ofis içleri için masa yüzeyinde 300 ile 500 lüks arasında bir ışık seviyesine ihtiyacınız bulunur. Gün ışığından elde ettiǧiniz kazancı en üst düzeye çıkarmak için masanızı veya çalışma alanınızı pencereye yakınlaştırabilirsiniz. Ayrıca, açık renklerde boyanmış bir iç mekan, güneş ışığını kolayca yansıtırken, mekanın aydınlatmasına da yardımcı olur. Doğru Lambaları Kullanın Evinizdeki her lambayı enerji tasarrufu saǧlayan led ampuller ile değiştirmelisiniz. Ancak led ampullerin satın alma bedelleri pahalı olabilir ve bu nedenle adım adım deǧiştirmeye ihtiyaç duyabilirsiniz. Hangi ampullerin önce deǧiştirileceǧine karar vereceǧiniz zaman, günde bir saatten daha fazla yanan lambalara öncelik tanıyın.Çok kısa sürelerde açık kalan ya da çok sık açıp kapanan mekanlarda CFL (Kompakt flouresan lambalar) ampuller kullanmayın. Çok soǧuk mekanlarda, örneǧin buzhaneler ya da soǧuk bölgelerde dış mekan aydınlatmalarında CFL ampuller kullanmayın. Bu ampuller düçük sıcaklıklarda maksimum ışık gücüne ulaçmaları biraz zaman alır. Bu, onları önceden yakmanız gerekeceǧi veya parasını ödediǧiniz ışığın yalnızca bir kısmını alacaǧınız anlamına gelir. Aydınlatmanızı Dim Edin Işıklarınızı kısmak sadece rahat bir atmosfer yaratmakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda lambaların daha az enerji harcamasını saǧlar. 50W'lık bir lambanın verdiǧi ışığı yarıya düşürürseniz, lambanın kullandığı güç de 25W'a düşer. Elbette, dimmerin kendisi de bir miktar güç kullanır, ancak bu ihmal edilebilecek kadar düşüktür. Işıkları Söndürün Bu başlık size biraz garip gelebilir ama ışıkların gereksiz yere yanması düşündüǧünüzden daha fazla olur. Iş yerinde, ışıklar genellikle öǧle tatilinde açık kalır. Evde, duştayken oturma odasındaki ışıklar yanmaya devam eder, kafe ve restoranların tuvaletlerindeki ışıkar neredeyse gece gündüz yanarlar. Gece gündüz yanan ışıklar elbette bir sensör yardımı ile kolayca çözülebilir ancak evde gereksiz yanan ışıklar için en doǧru çözüm şudur: "Odadan en son ayrılan ışıkları kapatır".Bir anahtarı açıp kapatmak yaklaşık dört ila beş saniye deǧerinde enerji harcar. Bu nedenle, beş saniye içinde geri dönmeyi planlamıyorsanız, ışığı kapatarak daha fazla enerji tasarrufu saǧlarsanız. Gerçekten İhtiyacınız Olan Işıkları Kullanın Çok sayıda farklı ışığı olan bir odada olmanız, hepsinin aynı anda açık olması gerektiǧi anlamına gelmez. Odadaki tek kişi sizseniz, ihtiyaçlarınızı karşılamak için tek bir ışık yeterli olabilir.Misafirleriniz geldiǧinde birden fazla ışık kullanmak ve salonunuzun güzelliǧini ışıkla ortaya çıkarmak isteyebilirsiniz. Ancak sadece misafirleriniz yokken ve sadece siz kullanıyorsanız ihtiyacınız olan alanları aydınlatmak yeterli olacaktır. İhtiyaç duymadığınız ışıkları kapatın. Vavien Anahtar Kullanın Işık anahtarınızı mantıklı bir şekilde yerleştirirseniz, aydınlatmanızın kullanımını daha iyi kontrol edebileceksiniz. Örneǧin, merdiveninizin her iki ucunda bir ışık anahtarınız varsa, hangi taraftan geliyor olursanız olun, ışıkları geldiǧiniz taraftan açıp diǧer taraftan kapatabilirsiniz. İki girişi olan bir odada, odanın ortasındaki avizeyi vavien anahtarlar ile her iki kapıdan da açıp kapatabilirsiniz. Dış Aydınlatma İçin Hareket Sensörlü Işıkları Ve Zamanlayıcılar Kullanın Hareket sensörlü ışıklar ve zamanlayıcılar, enerji tasarrufu saǧlayabileceǧiniz harika araçlardır. Hareket sensörlü lambalarda, ışık inaktif durumdayken enerji maliyeti çok düşüktür. Sensörün ampul kapalıyken bile tarama yapabilmesinin küçük bir maliyeti vardır, ancak bu, tüm gece boyunca dış mekan aydınlatmanızı yakmanızın maliyetinden çok daha düşüktür. Ayrıca dış mekan aydınlatmanızda bir zamanlayıcı kullanabilirsiniz, tüm gece açık kalması gereken aydınlatmaların, akşamları açılması ve sabahları kapatılması konusunda endişelenmenize gerek kalmaz. Bu sayede dış mekan aydİnlatmanız akşam ayarladığınız saatte açılır ve sabah ayarladığınız saatte kapanır. Temizlik Tabii ki, tüm evinizi temizlemekten bahsetmiyoruz, ancak zaman zaman kullandığınız ampulleri temizlemeniz kesinlikle daha fazla ışık almanıza yardımcı olur. Ampuller kolayca toz tutabilirler. Ampul üzerindeki toz ortama yeterince ışık gelmesine engel olur. Ampulleriniz temiz olduǧundan emin olun. Işığın etkisini artırmak için abajurları veya armatürleri düzenli olarak temizlemelisiniz. Son olarak şunu ilave edebiliriz. Enerji tasarrufu yapmak, evinizi yanlış bir şekilde aydınlatmanıza neden olmamalıdır.Evinizi doğru ve amacına uygun şekilde aydınlatmak için aşağıdaki bağlantıdan "Doğru aydınlatma nedir?" makalemizi inceleyebilirsiniz. https://www.avonni.com/dogru-aydinlatma
