How to choose ceiling lamps

ceiling lamps are the quintessential lighting element in any room and as such it is important to choose them appropriately. Given that they serve both to illuminate and to decorate, it is advisable to purchase a model with a design that aligns with the rest of the space. Nevertheless, if you wish to add more emphasis to the lighting, you can acquire one that stands out and distinguishes itself from the rest of the furnishings.The main characteristics of these lamps are, quite obvious, they are mounted to ceilings and come in various designs and styles, such as pendant lamps, surface panels or spotlights.

Can ceiling lamps be suspended without drilling holes?

No. Under no circumstances shall a lamp be installed on the ceiling without any drilling. Always follow the instructions and indications of the manufacturer and use the appropriate dowels, screws or anchors suitable for the surface where the installation is to be carried out.

How are ceiling lamp wires connected?

When wiring a ceiling lamp, always check that there is no electrical current present in the installation.

Choosing the right bulb for a ceiling lamp

The selection of a bulb is determined by several key points. Firstly, the space and the purpose for which it will be used, as kitchen lighting is not the same as living room lighting. Choosing the right tone of light (warm, neutral or cool) and the intensity of the light will depend on the lighting requirements and preferences of the user. It is worth noting that to know how much light an LED luminaire emits, one must look at the luminosity and not the watts consumed. Luminosity, which is measured in lumens, will be the comparative value to determine whether one lamp produces more light than another.On the other hand, take into account the models that do not have integrated LEDs. In these cases, choose a bulb suitable for the lamp. The most commonly used bulbs are E27, E14, G9 and GU10.
