Many people rely solely on information from one point of light, as the kitchen light. In fact, such information is sufficient. Especially if the power and intensity of scattered light is uniform and strong. Quite a light, bright kitchen can be uneven.
Different if the lighting condition was not flat and strong. It may be that, when cooking up a variety of problems due to the lack of light. For example, it is hard to recognize good food and not from the physical. Or hard to find items that are in the closet area.
Lighting effects to give the kitchen more functional and attractive, can be arranged more specific information. At least three types of information required in the kitchen, namely: two functional lighting and a lighting are optional.
“Lighting is a lighting function which is applied because of its function. For the kitchen, its function to illuminate the work area. As more light is optional as an accent,” said Specialist Lighting from Cipta Graha Hadiprana, Arwin Amir.
What are the functional lighting?
The first is a comprehensive lighting (general light). For this lighting typically use downlights placed on the ceiling. The second is the task. For this area, normally used halogen spot lights placed at the bottom of the cabinet hanging.

Actually, all the room lights that require a special set. This was expressed by many lighting designers around the world. Bright is not enough. Need to ensure that the available light can safeguard the security and user convenience space.
In the kitchen, lighting required for the activities there safe and comfortable place. For example, for the kitchen as a whole, at least 300 lux of light needed. Confused? Relax, Mariana Rahman from Lumina Lighting Consultant Group was willing to explain this matter of lighting.
According to Mariana, “bright light of strong standards in every inch of the kitchen is 300 lux. That is, in every square meter room needed 15-20 Watt light.”
Well, we can count them now. For example, your kitchen 4mx5m size, mean size is 20m2. Thus, in the room needed a lamp that has a level of total light 300lux.
Professor Christian Bartenbach, lighting designer who came from Austria, explains in his book, The Light of The World. According to him, good lighting is bright enough to do the activities, but not too harsh to make headache.
Mariana support the statement, “The lights had to be adjusted to the needs of the activity. For the kitchen, should have a color rendering (CR) above 80%.” You can use this type of fluorescence (CR: 70-80%) or halogen (CR:> 80%). If you could choose the type of daylight so that the color as the original food. For installation point, so that no glare, install lights at an angle of about 30 degrees. Cover with opaque acrylic if necessary.

Choose carefully Bathroom Lamp Place
Lighting and Electrical January 21st, 2010
No home light, bathroom lighting needs extra specifications. Lamp with protection from water and humidity, fits really applied here.
Lights are often exposed to splashes of water or high humidity, can lead to danger, tuh. Water, as one of the good conductor of electricity, can cause electrical short-circuit. We often forget this when choosing lighting for the bathroom. Usually we think of was, “The important thing is bright.”
According to Philips Lighting Product Manager, PT Philips Indonesia, Mirsya Budiasih, bathroom requires a special lamp. At least these lamps must withstand high humidity. “Better yet resistant to water splashes,” said Mirsya.
Bathroom, obviously Mirsya, has areas with different levels of humidity. Shower area can be more humid than the area of the sink and toilet. So this area needs a lamp that is more resistant to moisture. Lights we are talking about this, obviously Mirsya, is light overall, including light bulbs, electrical components, and the house lights.
As a sign that the lamp has a resistance to water and humidity, Mirsya said, could be seen whether the lamp has Ingress Protection (IP) or not. IP is the international standard code. Especially for electronic products or relating to electricity, IP can show the product resistance to water and humidity.
Lamps with IP is relatively expensive, but its safety is assured. Then, what about those who are not deep pockets? Careful placement of lights is the answer. Avoid placing lights in areas that are often exposed to water splashes. If necessary, ensure safe enough shade to protect the lamp from water splashes.
Well, turned out to vote and put the lights, to the bathroom too, need special attention, yes.
