Practical Q&A
How to choose the color temperature and power of ceiling lights brands
Answer: Follow the recommendations below to achieve the basic brightness for your home.
Living Room:4-5W/square Meter Bedroom2-3w/square Meter
Restaurant, kitchen: 5-6W/square meter
It is important to use the same color temperature for all lighting sources in a space. This will help create a more harmonious lighting effect.
It is recommended that the color temperature of a ceiling light be no higher than 4000K.
today, almost all ceiling lights come standard with dimming, memory and other functions.
It is better to purchase stepless dimming in bedrooms rather than three-stage dimming, if you are experiencing a problem with over-brightness.
How to choose a color rendering index
Answer: The ceiling lamp is an essential lighting fixture. It’s best to have it as high as possible.
R9>0, according to the national standard Ra>80 can meet most of your home’s needs.
The CRI for many big brands still uses the national standard. Ceiling lamps with high color rendering can be used in studios and children’s bedrooms if you have a Sufficient budget.
Better light quality
In certain scenes, like painting, makeup, and other tasks that require high-quality colors, light sources of superior quality can play an important role.
These lamps are more comfortable to use on a daily basis. We buy full-spectrum or high-color-rendering lamps to ground.
There are many reasons to be angry. Avoid gimmicks like “eye protection”
Purple LEDs are the best choice if you’re concerned about color rendering index. It is characterized by a low spectral miss rate, a high color tolerance, a href=”http://ledlights.ng/”>index, and /a>a gentle spectrum.
The pictures below show both high color rendering LEDs with Ra>96 and 4000K. Spectrum shows the difference.
Some lights may have a very high color index but still show a dim color under the light.
Ra is the average value of R1 to R8.
This section primarily represents the reductionibility of light colours. As an example, the R12 color in the image below is only 70+.
Ra is not the best way to support CRI.
Consider the color spectrum, CRI (color rendering index), Rg/Rf and color tolerance.
E-commerce companies often use red apples and strawberries to describe CRI.
Buying purple LEDs is the easiest and most reliable solution.
Q: How do ceiling lamps emit light? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
Answer: Direct lighting, light guide plate side lighting, linear silicone lampshade
Q: Why are light guide plates better than traditional ceiling lights?
Answer: It’s thinner (about 2cm) than the ceiling lamp which is 10cm.
Comfortable. The side-emission of the light guide is more comfortable than the direct downward emissions of traditional ceiling lights.
It is more beautiful, easier to use, and durable.
It’s less worrying. It is a metaphysics, that ceiling lights will not let mosquitoes inside. Light-guided ceiling lights are a science.
Richer means more expensive
What are the advantages of direct-emitting lamps over light guide plates?
Answer: The power supply and direct emitting light source are modular.
By removing the lamp shade, you can easily change the source of light.
Maintenance costs are extremely low. The light guide plate is not for non-professionals.
Linear silicone lamp shade: This is the most common method of creating linear surface ceiling lights. It can give a linear feeling and be slightly dazzling. The conventional lamp body thickness can range from 6cm to 8cm.
Q: What is the life expectancy of a ceiling light?
Answer: The service life of LED lamps from the brand is generally 15000h25000H+. If you use the lamp for 8 hours per day, then there will be no pressure on your LED lamps for at least 5 years. Lamps with high positioning are free of pressure for at least 10 years (with low light efficiency). Come on, I’ve said it 100 times. Buy only brand-name lanterns and lamps for your light sources. You must buy brand-name lighting sources, even if you are buying brand-name lanterns and lamps.
It is not dead light, but a product that does not meet the commonly used L70 standards.
How to choose the right size ceiling lamp for the living room
Answer: The ratio between the length width and the heightwidth should be 1:5. If the living room measures 5M 3.5M, then the lamp size should be around 100cm70cm. This is only a guide.
Ceiling lamps are priced in the range of $100-$200.
Answer: If we take three bedrooms and two lounges as an example, the typical budget is between 2-3K. It doesn’t matter how much the ceiling lamp costs, as long as it has a premium brand, is a different model or offers a better light source, materials, workmanship and functionality. Sets are available. You can save money by buying them together.
Many big brand ceiling lights are available online at very low prices. Can I buy them online?
Answer: Of course you can. If you’re on a tight budget, running models from different brands are a good option. But don’t demand too much. Please top up if you are demanding a lot.
Why?
- Volumetric energy stores and e-commerce competitors cannot even imagine it. E-commerce is accustomed to selling 10W+ of a model, but the entities are not even aware of it. The profits of merchants are low because each brand has their own models that sell in large quantities. Even though they rely on lamps with high unit prices to make profit, some companies lose money or make money when big sales occur.
One lamp is produced on a single production line. Single product sales can start in the tens or hundreds of thousands. The cost of opening the mold is negligible, no matter how low it is.
Does the quality of the product seem poor?
-Won’t
The LED technology of today is highly mature. The service life of the LED light source is 15000H to 25000H. The average maintenance interval will be no less than five years if the light is used 8 hours per day. And the average defect rate will be no more than 1%. The manufacturer is likely to lose money if the light is not maintained.
There is no problem with the light source as long as it is certified. Many ultra-cheap bulbs have a color rendering of more than 90. LEDs and driving powers supplies are already mature and very popular.
It is true that “saving” materials is “saving”, but it is rarely “stealing”.
Q: Why are the ceiling lights in the line-surface series more expensive? What is the difference in price? What’s the price difference?
Answer: The main reason for the price difference is due to model. The high price is due to a small sales volume, high costs of assembly, and costs for single mode. The lamp’s value is greater than the premium. It is worth a few dollars more from an aesthetic perspective. Buy something that is visually pleasing.
Styles that are timeless will never go out of fashion
Answer: The more classic and simple the model is, the more attractive it will be. The shorter the lifespan of models that are popular on the internet and flashy will be the more the model is known. Styles of lamps change every year. You can’t decorate your house every year. The best models to buy are classics. main direction.
Q: Can you recommend a brand of ceiling lamp?
The recommended price for a 3-family room is $1,200 (only for ceiling lamps with direct downward lighting).
You can choose from major brands in domestic distribution such as Opple NVC and Sanxiong if you are concerned about the cost-effectiveness of your product (0.8-2K).
Panasonic and Philips are good options if your budget is low (under 2K).
Choose Berman (5K) watch if you are looking for precision craftsmanship and comfort in light source.
Yeelight (around 2K), if you are looking for Mijia smart lighting, is a great choice.
The lipro series is a good choice if you are looking for a minimalist design with omni-spectral light. The entire series is made of purple LEDs (approximately 5K).

Continues to maintain the high quality “Ruran light” that is similar to sunlight.
Upgrade to the Mijia ecosystem based on Lipro Smart Home and HomeKit.

The entire light source is purple LED. It has low blue light and low color tolerance. High color fidelity and a high CRI90+ color rendering index. The light source is of top quality, Ra97+.
HomeKit Mijia and Matter are finally here.
It’s true that I used to boast about him being an abortion expert, but now I can no longer call him such.
Each product is unique and designed with the user in mind.
After installation, the round ceiling light is only 2.16cm in thickness.
Materials and workmanship are clear from the inside out. The price may not be cheap but the quality of the products and the price/performance ratio are still good.
Berman Rohm S1/A1/L1
I bought Rohm. It was a real snafu. It was not timely.
I did not confirm with an official if it was a LED purple (I do not know if this is true). The sky was filled with ten thousand ants, but judging by the data that I had tested previously, it is clear that the light source in use has improved significantly.
The official announcement has been made
This lamp works well regardless of the source. The lamp is made of metal and has a lot of weight.
It is easy to tell that it’s a Berman Lamp at first glance.
It’s also easily recognizable. Berman also offers a 10-year warranty on performance, which is a very good thing in the lighting industry.
It is the first time that a lighting company of international standing has taken this approach.
Both rectangular and round living room lights as well as bedroom lights are available
Honeywell ceiling light
This is not a new model. It’s listed with other models in the same range of prices for your convenience.
The ideal living room lamp emits 8000lm of light, while the direct light from the sun can reach up to 9000lm. Oh my!
Ideal ceiling light is brighter but less powerful than natural ceiling lights.
-Lamps that have high color rendering are often forced to sacrifice brightness. Ideal light has a side-emitting design and a low utilization rate. High power and low brightness are normal.
This is a good lamp that is easily recognizable. Here are the 13 grids of the brand.
Some people claim that taking pictures of Honeywell light fixtures with a smartphone can cause “water ripples”, and there’s a stroboscopic danger.
I will tell you this: No, no no. It is safe to use a stroboscope for measuring it. Mobile phone photography is not reliable. The photos I took with my phone didn’t have any “water ripples”.
The lamp itself is good, but personally I don’t care for the logo being on the surface of the lamp. The advertisement is a little forced.
5) yeelight slim/mix light guide
Yeelight will be very familiar to you. Mijia’s eco-lighting section is dominated by this product. The products are very affordable. Slim mix has arrived after the ultra-thin lamps of the first half year were reversible. It has the same functions as Mijia.
Showdown: I’m also riding the popularity of these ceiling lights brands. I’m too busy to do this during this time. For the moment, I’ll also be using the cloud. It’s not bad to hear from my friends. According to yeelight’s urinary properties, there shouldn’t be any problem.
Everyone can identify themselves
Pick up missing items
When your budget is limited, buying high-volume models from various brands can be the most cost-effective solution. Just buy them blindly and without thinking.
All of them are used to generate income during big sales. Price-performance ratios are very high. A whole house is usually available for only a few hundred Yuan.
If you want to get the best quality and service, go for the big brands. But don’t expect too much.
Budget for the entire house is 0.5K to 1.5K. There are models with high volume, models that are cost-effective, and models with high color rendering. Here’s a link:

2) yeelight Lingxi
This is a very classic model. Last year, the package price was over 2K. Last year, I tested ceiling light brands and found that the color rendering index (Ra95) was very high. According to the website, it has been upgraded to a “full spectrum”, Ra97. Theoretically, it’s better than the original. Even without upgrading the source of light, the price is still worth it.
This year, Lingxi launched a tri-proof back-mounted light. You can choose. Here are a few suggestions.
How do you select an individual?
Three male Aurora Haoyu within 2K or less
Ceiling lights are available in less than $1000. It’s very affordable and has a great light source. I bought this light after recommending it to several Zhihu Influencers via private messages. They all said it was good after using it and that the price is also important.
You can still save money by choosing the cloud wing lighting set for your bedroom. It costs more than 1K dollars for the entire house.
4) jade fiber yeelight (approximately 2K).
This lamp has been mentioned thousands of times. This is a classic Yeelight model. It used to be equipped with daylight algorithm but that was removed long ago. It is likely that the reduction in configuration was done to create a larger gap between the old and new models, so the new one can be easily pushed aside. There isn’t a lot of toothpaste to squeeze in.
The lamp has a color rendering index of 90+. It comes with Mijia Smart Control, Atom Switch, dimming, and color adjustment as standard.
A three-bedroom package with four lights cost just under 2k last year. It costs only a few thousand Yuan this year. That’s a savings of hundreds of yuan. The product is still worth purchasing.
5) Philips Yixuan ceiling lamp (1K+)
The lampshade has a minimalist design, and the frame is made from solid alloy. With a 120W 8300lm luminous flux, you can easily cover more than 30 square metres with just one lamp. The 970*650 size is too big. Large light-emitting surfaces also produce a softer light with the same brightness.
The lowest color temperature of 2700K and the highest color temperatures are 6500K.
CRI, Ra80+, passed.
Ultra-thin? The frame thickness does not equate to the overall thinness of ceiling light brands. The frame is 2.8cm thick and the whole lamp measures 9cm.
intelligent? With one remote, you can travel the globe. It has four preset lighting functions, including a sleep mode and a delayed lights-off function.
Why would you recommend this lamp to others?
The picture shows that the lamp is very durable with a low failure rate. This is a model that’s cost-effective and comes from a well-established lamp manufacturer. Expect nothing fancy and no eye-catching features. This lamp is for those who are looking to simplify their lives, be pragmatic and worry-free.
Midea Natural/s (1.5K-3K+).
The light source is what makes the product stand out. It is good to have a light source with a Ra98, but R12’s blue saturation is only in the upper 80s and not 90.
The ceiling light brands are already good. The manufacturer just doesn’t want you to know. That’s it.
The light guide plate is the most important selling point for this lamp, not the quality light source. This method produces a very uniform light.
The prism lens evenly distributes the light, making this lamp bright but not dazzling.
The S is designed to reduce the price. The S has a plastic casing, a lower brightness and smart control. S is the best choice if you’re looking for a cheap light source with a good quality, but don’t care about texture.
