How To Clean A Chandelier?

19 February 2024 0
Chandeliers are important elements that illuminate the atmosphere of your home or workplace and complete its decoration. However, over time, they can become covered with layers of dust, dirt and oil, making them look bad. Fortunately, it is possible to make your chandeliers shine like the first day, with the chandelier cleaning steps we explain below. Before you start cleaning your chandelier, it is important to make some preparations. You can lay a cover as a safety precaution against glass pieces that may fall during the cleaning process. If there is a table or coffee table under the chandelier that could be damaged, protect these products. You should have equipment such as a cleaning cloth, microfiber cloth, glass cleaner spray and, a ladder or stool in some cases. First, turn off the chandelier and wait for the bulb to cool. Do not just turn off the electricity at the wall switch, if possible, also turn off the fuse switch. Reach the chandelier using a ladder or stool. If glass, lampshade or crystal parts of the chandelier need to be removed, carefully dismantle them first, you can put these parts back after the cleaning process is completed. To clean the glass parts of your chandelier, the first step is to remove all the bulbs. You can then gently remove the glass or directly with a cleaning cloth. While doing this, you can clean the glass with gentle movements and using glass cleaner spray to avoid damaging the glass. It is more effective to spray the glass cleaner spray on the cloth rather than directly on the glass and then wipe the glass. In this way, you can clean your glasses spotlessly and brightly. Also, don't forget to clean the bulbs you remove. To clean the metal or wooden body of the chandelier, the first step is to gently wipe it with a microfiber cloth to remove dust and dirt. Then, you can go over it with a cleaning cloth. If the body of your chandelier is made of sensitive material, you can wipe it by pouring some soapy water or a special cleaning solution on the cleaning cloth instead of applying cleaning products directly. After cleaning, you can prevent water stains by drying with a cloth. If there are oily stains or dirt on the chandelier, you can find solution in this step. Fill cleaning spray or soapy water into a spray bottle. Using this mixture, lightly spray the surfaces and parts of the chandelier and then wipe with a clean cloth. When using soapy water, make sure that cleaning products do not damage the material of the chandelier. Once the chandelier cleaning is complete, wait for the parts to dry completely. If it's still damp, give it a little more time to dry. Then, reattach the glass or crystal pieces and return the chandelier to its original shape. Do not turn the electricity back on until you are sure that the chandelier is completely dry. If you have any doubts about the safety of electrical connections it is important to consult a professional. Cleaning of chandeliers is important both to ensure an aesthetically pleasing appearance and to increase light emission efficiency. You can keep your chandelier fresh by using the tips shared above to clean the glass shards, body, crystals, and other decorations. During the cleaning process, care should be taken and make sure about the necessary safety precautions. Now you can follow the steps to clean your chandelier and create a sparkling home environment.

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.

29 November 2022 0
The atmosphere of a hotel room should be pleasant and inviting, and the lighting in the room is one of the most important tools to have this atmosphere. It is important to consider lighting as part of the interior decoration of the hotel. It is not enough just to have an interior with a beautiful appearance, because if the lighting is not right choice, even a professional interior decoration will not be able to make guests feel comfortable. The color and amount of light has a huge impact on people's moods. The color temperatures of the light sources that you may find from the market can vary between 2700K and 6500K. While 2700K light color provides rest and peace effect in people, 6500K light color puts people in a more energetic mood. Since the lighting used in the hotel room serves different purposes, the color temperatures to be used in hotel rooms may be different. You can find the recommended light colors for lighting types below. General lighting of the hotel room The recommended color temperature is 2700K – 3500K. This Kelvin range is best for bedrooms because of its warm white light. It is relaxing, inviting and allows for relaxation. Bedside lights Whether the lighting that you use at the bedside is wall sconces or table lighting, you should prefer 2700K-3000K light color due to its relaxing effects which may make you sleepy easily. Reading sconces On the spiral reading lamps, 3500K-4000K light color can be preferred because it has an effect that does not make you sleepy or does not make you awake.

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

Best Lighting for Your Child’s Study Desk

24 August 2022 0
Öğrenciler, evde çoğu zamanlarını odalarında, çalışma masasının başında geçirirler. Özellikle üniversite ya da lise sınavlarına hazırlanan çocuğunuz, zamanının büyük bir bölümünü kendi odasında, çalışma masasında geçiriyordur. Gelecek yaşamlarının temelini oluşturacak olan bu sınav öncesinde, çocuklarınızın çalışma masasının derse konsantre olmasına uygun olup olmadığını bu yazımızda gözden geçiriyoruz. Çocuğunuz çalışma masasındaki aydınlatmayı düzenlerken aşağıda verilen tavsiye ve uyarıları dikkate almanızı öneririz. Ders Çalışan Öğrenciler İçin Aydınlatma Önerileri Çalışma masasının uygun şekilde aydınlatılması görme kabiliyetini ve odaklanmayı artırır. Çocuğunuzun odasında yer alan avize, çalışma masasını aydınlatmak için yeterli değildir. Çünkü avizeden gelen ışık ile masa arasında çocuğunuz bulunur. Çocuk masa üzerinde hep kendi gölgesi ile çalışır. Bu nedenle yalnızca avizenizin ışığı ile yetinmeyin. Çalışma masasını ayrıca aydınlatın.Çocuğunuz uzaktan eğitim alıyorsa, odanızın ortasında asılı duran avize yerine masa üzeri aydınlatması tercih edilmelidir. Bilgisayar ekranında ışıkları parlayan bir avizenin yansıması can sıkıcı ve dikkat dağıtıcı olabilir.Çalışma masası üzerinde kullanılan lamba ışığının renk sıcaklığı çok önemlidir. 2700K ışık rengi dinlendirici bir etki sunarken, öğrencinin uykusunu da getirebilir. 6500K ışık rengi ise enerji verici, canlandırıcı bir etkiye sahiptir. Öğrenciyi zinde tutar ancak uyku öncesinde bu ışığa maruz kalmak öğrencinin zor uyumasına sebep olabilir.Öğrencinin ışık ihtiyacı her zaman aynı olmaz. Farklı ışık seviyelerine ihtiyaç duyabilirler. Masa lambalarının ışık seviyesinin ayarlanabilir olması çok faydalı olur. Çalışma masası üzerinde kullanılan lambalarda en çok dikkat edilmesi gereken konulardan birisi, ışığın titreme problemidir. Titreşen ışıklar, göz yorgunluklarına ve baş ağrılarına neden olabilir. Floresan lambaların verdiği ışıklar titreşmektedir. Çalışma masalarında floresan lambalar kullanmayın.LED ampullerin ekonomik olanları da titreşirler.Titreşmeyi kontrol etmenin en kolay yolu lambaya cep telefonunuzun kamerası ile bakmaktır. Kamera görüntüsünde ışık titreşimleri kendilerini daha çok belli eder.Yaz mevsimine yaklaştıkça ısınan hava ya da sıcak bölgelerde yaşayan öğrenciler için çalışma masasında enkandesen (akkor filamanlı) ampulleri kullanmak sorun olabilir. Bu ampuller verdikleri ışıkla birlikte önemli miktarda ısı da yaydıklarından, verdikleri ısı ile çalışan öğrenciyi bunaltabilirler. Mümkün olduğunca az ısı veren enerji verimli led aydınlatmalar kullanılmalıdır.Masa lambaları kullanırken, masa lambasının kablosundan kaynaklı karmaşa en son istenen şey olabilir. Kablosuz masa lambası kullanmak, çalışan öğrenci için son derece kullanışlı olur. Masanın üzerinde istenilen yerde konumlandırılır ve bu esnada kablo derdi olmaz.Ders çalışırken aydınlatma için sadece masa lambası kullanmak da çok uygun olmayabilir. Ortam aydınlatmasını sağlayacak ilave bir ışık kaynağının da odada olması çok daha sağlıklı bir aydınlatma sunar. Çalışma masalarında en uygun aydınlatma çözümünü görmek için kablosuz masa lambalarımıza göz atabilirsiniz. Kablosuzdurlar. Kablo karmaşasından kurtulursunuz.Tek bir şarj ile 20 saatten fazla aydınlatma sunarlar.Işık seviyeleri ayarlanabilirdir. Öğrencinin her ihtiyacına uygun ışığı sunarlar.Titreşim yapmayan, sağlık bir aydınlatma sunarlar. Titreşimden kaynaklı göz yorgunlukları ve baş ağrıları oluşmaz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oo8H9DpryU&t=42s

Most İmportant Things to Consider While Choosing Mosque Chandelier

Most İmportant Things to Consider While Choosing Mosque Chandelier

7 March 2022 0
Most important things to consider while choosing mosque chandelier? We will be explaining this topic in our article Getting the natural ambiance of mosque requires choosing the right chandelier. In this article, you will find lighting suggestions that you should consider for your mosque construction project or mosque renovation. How are mosques illuminated effectively? The luminance levels of mosques depend on multiple factors such as the number of the people inside, the average age, and activities inside the mosque. Average age of congregation While the average age increases, the amount of light required also increases. If there is an older congregation, more light will be required, while for a younger congregation less light will be sufficient. Number of people in the congregation The number of congregations coming to the mosque for morning and evening prayers is not the same. Depending on the number of the congregation, it will be sufficient to illuminate certain parts of the mosque. Lighting according to the events The amount of light inside the mosque also varies according to the usage purposes of the mosque. The lighting used for everyday will not be the same used for special ceremonies. What should be the number of bulbs required to illuminate the mosque? • Since mosques are different from each other in terms of design and size, there is no single lighting calculation suitable for all mosques, but you can use the following method that gives average values:• Find the total square meter value of the main part of the mosque,• Do not include areas such as portico, courtyard, and fountain in this total.• The light level on the surface of this area should be an average of 250 Lux for a mosque. With the formula; Lumen = Lux * m2, the total amount of lumen needed is determined. After the total lumen value is calculated, it is divided by the lumen value of the bulbs and the total amount of bulbs is calculated. To explain through an example: The main part of the mosque: 100 m2Floor : 25 m2Total Area = 100+25=150Total Lumen value = 250 lux * 150 m2 = 31,250 Lumen500 lumen value is written on the box of the bulb we will use.In this case, 37.500 / 500 = 75 bulbs will be required to illuminate the mosque. We have calculated the approximate number of bulbs we should use in the mosque; but it should not be forgotten that these lights should be distributed homogeneously in the mosque. In other words, the mosque cannot be properly illuminated with a chandelier with 60 bulbs in the center. These lights should be distributed homogeneously throughout the mosque, with a chandelier in the center, sconces on the walls, and chandeliers that illuminate the mahfil floor and the bottom of the mahfil. How do we benefit from natural light in mosques? Especially historical mosques are not only open during prayer times. Apart from religious worship, they are also visited for cultural purposes. It is necessary to make maximum use of natural sunlight in the illumination of these mosques, which are active all day. When you look at historical mosques, you will see that the windows are not small. There are even many windows under the dome to let in natural sunlight. What type of bulbs should be used in mosques? LED bulbs should be used in mosques to save energy. These bulbs give more light with less energy and last longer. It is not necessary to change the bulbs at short intervals. What should be the color temperature in mosque lighting? Mosques are centers of worship. Since these are peaceful environments, it is appropriate to illuminate them with softer and more relaxing lights. 3000K/4000K color temperatures are recommended for mosques. For more information about color temperatures, click here. What should be the CRI value of mosque chandeliers? If the mosque has a historical or special texture, lighting with high CRI values will be appropriate for these texture lightings. Lighting with high CRI values should also be used for mosques where mevlit programs are filmed for televisions. What should you pay attention to when choosing a mosque chandelier? If the height of the chandelier used in the center of the mosque is too high, it will be necessary to build a scaffold during the maintenance and cleaning. If the dome of the mosque is not very high, choose wide chandeliers instead of high chandeliers.Since the maintenance of the mosque chandeliers cannot be done frequently by the mosque administration, the crystals used in the chandeliers become dusty over time and form a bad image. If there is no special cleaning program, do not prefer crystal chandeliers in mosques.The bulbs have a lifespan and will need to be replaced when their economic life is over. Choose chandeliers whose bulbs can be easily replaced. LED bulbs with suitable quality have a long life. They don't need to be changed very often. Prefer LED bulbs. When replacing expired bulbs, do not forget to check out other bulbs.With the development of LED lighting, the use of decorative LED lighting in mosque chandeliers is becoming more and more common. LED drivers have a lifespan just like light bulbs. It is necessary to make sure that the LED drivers of the chandelier have good quality. In addition, it should be possible to easily replace the LED drivers.If the lamps used in mosque chandeliers are open, these lamps collect dust inside. Prefer to use chandeliers with overhead lamps. You should also make sure that these lamps are easy to clean. How should physical security be in mosque chandeliers? The carrier chain hanging from the dome of the mosque and the dome connection points are usually made ready during the construction of the mosque. When buying a chandelier for the mosque, find out the weight of the chandelier and make sure that the chain hanging from the mosque dome can carry 3.5 times the chandelier weight. It is not a coincidence that the safe handling tolerance was chosen as 350% (i.e., 3.5 times). It is calculated by taking into account many factors such as hot, cold, humidity. The chain manufacturer should be contacted and the chain certificates should be checked.If the chandelier in the mosque is renewed, make sure that the carrier chains calculated for the old chandelier are also safe for your new chandelier.If the diameter of the chandelier is Ø:500 cm and larger, it would be appropriate to use carrier steel wires that go vertically from the circle to the dome instead of carrying the weight of the chandelier from the center. How should electrical safety be in mosque chandeliers? Make sure the cables used in mosque chandeliers are copper cables. Aluminum alloy cables should not be used inside the chandelier.Make sure that the lamp holder and led drivers used in the chandelier are in CE standards and in compliance with CE safety labels.Check that the chandelier has a grounding line and connect this grounding line to the grounding line of the mosque.Turn off both the switch and the fuse of t he line coming to the chandelier during processes such as maintenance, cleaning and bulb replacement. Assign a person to wait by the key or the board so that no one else will come and open it while you are doing these operations.If there is a section in your chandelier that does not work electrically, ask for help from an authorized electrician. Do not try to repair it yourself. What are the mosque chandelier models? • Ottoman mosque chandeliers: These are the models in which there are oil lamp glasses under the circles of the chandeliers, and the bulbs are inside these lamps. • Crystal mosque chandeliers: They are chandeliers that expand from top to bottom and have dome glasses on their sides. There are also crystal chandeliers without dome glasses. • LED mosque chandeliers: They are chandeliers that use LED lighting for main lighting purposes or used for decorative purposes added to the oil lamp lighting. • Armed mosque chandeliers: These are the chandeliers that have lighting on the arms and arm ends that come out of the center of the chandelier. Decorative crystals can also be found on the arms of these models. It can be used with dome glasses or bare bulbs at the ends of the arms. • Mosque chandeliers with lanterns: They are chandeliers that contain decorative lanterns instead of oil lamps in lighting, whether with an arm or a ring. How should you control mosque chandeliers? The number of congregations worshiping in mosques is not always the same. The number of the congregation will be much higher than in normal times, such as on Kandil evenings, Ramadan nights. For this reason, the illumination of the mosque should be sufficient for the entire congregation.When the number of worshipers is small, it is important that the lights can be dimmed or only illuminate certain areas. The regional control of the lights provides energy-saving lighting. • If the general lighting of the mosque is provided by the chandelier in the center, it will be advantageous for the chandelier to have several light levels. When energized, all the lights in the chandelier do not need to be on at the same time. There should be 2-3 switches for the chandelier and the lights should be adjusted according to the light needs. In order to control the chandelier in a few steps, the power line to the chandelier must be multiple. • However, if there is only one power line, then partial lighting can be made with remote-controlled disconnector circuits. These systems can even be applied to existing chandeliers. However, if there is only one power line, then partial lighting can be made with remotely controlled disconnector circuits. These systems can even be applied to existing chandeliers. • In modern mosque chandeliers, where LEDs are used as basic lighting, you can request LED lighting to be dimmed. Thus, instead of illuminating the chandelier part by part, all the lights will be dimmable. You can increase or decrease the light level as needed. You can review our project catalog for more information about site-specific chandeliers that you may need to illuminate large spaces such as mosques, hotels and meeting rooms.

ACCENT LIGHTS Use accent lighting to show customers what you want them to look at, whether are sales pitches, new products or high-priced items. Allow shadows to form around the product to give the sense that these products are important. With a touch of contrast you can highlight your special products and make them remarkable. The perfect balance of accent and ambient lighting is key to the store's design. Accent lighting can be fun, but if you emphasize everything or nothing, you're giving up your ability to make products stand out.If your store has more than one aisle, room,or floor,customers may have a hard time finding their way around. Direction finding lights allow you to reach restrooms, exits or any area your customer needs to see to navigate the store.Beacon and direction finding lights are also accent lights. AMBIENT LIGHTING To make your accent lighting stand out, you need to properly create ambient lighting throughout the store. Your store should have a soft stream of light that covers the general walking areas and decorative elements.General lighting should ensure that your store is illuminated enough to be safe, functional and inviting. At the same time, it shouldn't be so bright that it prevents your accent lights from showing up.Try to use closer but less powerful lightings instead of very strong spot lightings that are far from each other. Do not allow excessive contrast. Avoid areas that are too bright or too dark throughout the store. Visitors' pupils constantly expand and contract to accommodate many different light levels as they navigate between such sections. Eye strain occurs in your customers and employees who stay in your store for a long time. VERTICAL LIGHTING Another new trend in lighting design is vertical lighting.What this means is lighting evenly from floor to ceiling. The human eye naturally looks to light and the first thing a shopper will notice when walking in front of a store is vertical lighting. Knowing this, we need to illuminate the walls and vertical surfaces to attract potential customers to the space. As a general rule,illuminated walls give stores a fresh and airy atmosphere. LIGHTING COLOR SELECTION Be sure to check the color temperature of your lighting products before purchasing. You have to make sure that all lights have the same color temperatures. Mixing color temperatures in the same space creates an unprofessional look.Color temperature is measured in Kelvin (K), the lowest number (2700K) will give the warmest colors and the highest number (6500K) will produce cool white.Warm lighting creates a cozy atmosphere, perfect for a bookstore or cafe. Cool lighting, on the other hand, works best for stores where customers need a clear idea of what products look like.Determine which light color would be more appropriate for the products and services you offer. CRI SELECTION CRI (Color rendering Index). Color rendering can be defined as the measure of how faithfully a light source reproduces the colors of the object it illuminates.The CRI value of daylight is considered 100. The unit of measure for the color rendering index is Ra, and for "daylight" this value is 100.In lighting, suitable CRI values should be selected according to the places of use of light sources. The highest possible CRI value should be used in places where color is paramount, such as cosmetics and fashion stores, hairdressers and art galleries. However, there are also lightings where the color does not matter. There is no harm in choosing low CRI values here. For example, these low CRI value lightings can be used in parking lot lighting and security lighting. Use LED lights LED lighting offers a number of advantages such as long lifetime, low energy consumption, warm and cold light color options, the ability to control (dim) lighting intensity, and a wide variety of sizes and shapes. It is all these features that make LED lighting much more advantageous than traditional lighting systems. The reasons why LEDs are preferred for point of sale lighting are as follows. Energy-saving Energy saving is very important in shop lighting. This is due to economic reasons as well as more generally ecological awareness and the need to protect and use natural energy resources.LED technology adapts perfectly to these conditions and offers extremely high energy efficiency and from an ecological point of view LED lights are the right lighting for a greener future as they do not contain toxic elements such as mercury. Manageability LED technology can adapt to any situation and is fully customizable, including color change, temperature changes and light intensity. From general lighting to accent lighting, it is possible to adjust the LED lighting according to preferences. LED lighting products can be connected to smart devices and controlled digitally. Lifespan and reduced maintenance cost LED lamps last 25 times longer than incandescent lamps (and if the LED is of good quality, that's around 30-50k hours) and also feature superior performance, versatile lighting technology. These are all important aspects for retail stores where the lighting is running long hours during the day. LED lights do not have filaments to protect them from shock or bumps,so LED lights are durable, perfect for indoor and outdoor use.It means that LED lightings can withstand vibrations, external influences and contact (Customer contact and bad weather). Illumination of cold spaces We should add that LED technology works really well even at low temperatures, which is why LED lamps are the perfect solution for illuminating supermarket refrigerator interiors or parking garages.Now you have the basics you need to put your retail lighting design together.You will realize how much the right lighting in stores can increase the value of your business.We encourage you to also check out our other articles to learn more about lighting to help you save time and money.

Lighting in Furniture Stores

14 December 2020 0
Lighting is one of the most important tools of interior design. Lighting affects the mood, appearance and function of a space positively or negatively. Correct lighting is particularly vital when it comes to furniture stores that service to retail customers and where even the smallest details are important due to intense competition. The right lighting has a huge impact on your customers' shopping experience. Don't let an overly lit or dimly lit store lower your sales. Below you can find the roadmap that will help you decide your store's light needs, how and how much to illuminate. Furniture stores are usually large spaces by nature. While designing the lighting of these large spaces, the general lighting need of the space should be taken into consider, and the lighting of each furniture group should be specially designed. Customers buy the furniture with their eyes. They examine the products that appeal to them. Good lighting is required for a good first impression to be left to the customer. How should the correct lighting be in furniture stores? In order for the furniture to attract the attention of the customers and to be perceived completely and accurately by the customers, it must be illuminated with the right color temperature, the right light intensity, the right angle, the appropriate number, energy-saving and high CRI value. Choose the right color temperature If you sell office furniture, use lighting in the display areas similar to office lighting. If you think your lights are too white, then use bulbs with 5000K-5500K light color. This light color creates a feeling of energy and increases working efficiency. Customers who examine the furniture feel more energetic. Complete the decoration by using work desk lamps that match your office furniture. Don't just light your furniture with ceiling lights. Make sure there are lights from different layer levels. If you cannot bring electrical energy for the work tables you display in your store, then you can use rechargeable table lamps. These table lamps promise freedom by keeping you away from cable clutter for the office furniture. If you want to browse our catalog for wireless table lamps, you can use the link below. https://www.avonni.com/en/downloads/ If you are selling bedroom furniture, then the lights should be relaxing, not energizing. Use 2700K-3000K color temperatures. Customers who examine the furniture can feel the ambiance that the furniture creates in their homes with the relaxing lights. Lighting created by a chandelier suitable for your bedroom sets on the furniture will lead to a holistic approach design feeling. Never ignore the warm and soft lighting provided by bedside lamps. Customers do not only want to see furniture models, but also want to be inspired. If you can't sell bedroom furniture without bedspreads or pillows, also include lighting products in the set. Offer a holistic design that inspires. To illuminate the living room sets, choose color temperatures from 3000K to 4000K, depending on furniture styles. The colors in this range are neither very energetic nor preparing for sleep colors. Complete your living room sets with chandeliers suitable for style. Include floor-standing lamps, indispensable for the living rooms, into the set. Appropriate Light Intensity In order for the furniture to be seen completely and correctly by the customer, the light intensity should neither be too high nor too low.  If your store is in a shopping mall or there are sections that cannot benefit from sunlight, then the light level of artificial lighting should be adjusted to the appropriate value. The level of light on the desired surface is measured by lux value. For more detailed information about light level, you can take a look at our Lux lighting level article. If you sell office furniture, the lights on the table surface should be at 500 lx level. In living room sets or bedroom furniture, the lighting on the product (80 cm above the floor) is appropriate to be at the level of 300-400 lx. Lux meter is not a common tool, but you can measure the light level at your location with your mobile phones by installing “Lux meter” software on your smart phones. Appropriate angle Lighting in which all the lights in the furniture store come from ceiling spots lights prevents the appearance of textures. Furnitures reveal their own values with the patterns and carvings they carry on. The lighting used should reveal the beauty of the furniture. You can use directional lighting that gives light at different angles, or you can reveal furniture textures by using lights at different height levels. For this, by using a chandelier or table lamps on the furniture, you can prevent the lights from only one height levels coming from the ceiling spots. Appropriate lighting quantity Furniture stores are large spaces by nature. If the store's ceiling isn't too high, don't consider using a chandelier in the center. Instead of using very strong spotlights that are far from each other, try using lights that are closer together but less powerful. Do not allow excessive contrast. Avoid too bright or too dark areas throughout the store. The pupils of visitors between such sections constantly grow and shrink to accommodate very different light levels. Eye fatigue occurs in your customers and employees who stay in your store for a long time. Highlight with lighting Use accent lighting for any product or object you want to highlight in your store. With light, you can attract customers' eyes to these products. Allow shadows around the product. You can highlight your special products with remarkable lighting. The perfect balance of accent and ambient lighting is key to the shop's design. Accent lighting can be fun, but if you emphasize everything, you give up your ability to feature products. By using strong contrast sparingly, you can focus on attracting your customers to sales areas, new products, or higher priced items. Energy-saving You will need a large number of light sources to light up furniture stores with large places. No customer wants to enter stores that look dark from the outside. You may encounter very high electricity bills due to the light bulbs lit all day long. Remember, the light level you will get with the electrical energy you use is not always linear. Good bulbs can give off more light while consuming less energy. We call these high efficiency light sources. You should prefer LED bulbs instead of incandescent and fluorescent lamps. Fluorescent lamps are also energy efficient but have a very low CRI value. If you still use halogen or incandescent bulbs in your store, you should replace these bulbs with LED ones as soon as possible. These bulbs put you in a difficult position with the excessive heat they generate, as well as high electricity bills. Your air conditioners will work harder than necessary in the summer to evacuate the heat generated by the hundreds of lightings burning in your store. Color Rendering Index CRI (Color rendering Index) color rendering index. Color rendering can be defined as the measures the ability of a light source to accurately reproduce the colors of the object it illuminates. Daylight CRI value is considered 100. The unit of measure of the color rendering index is Ra and this value for "daylight" is 100. The color of the products in the furniture store is extremely important to the customer. In order for the colors of the furniture to be seen correctly, the CRI values of the lights used must also be good. In a furniture store, where the details and colors of the furniture are important, the light bulbs should have a CRI of 80 or above. For more detailed information about color rendering, you can check our article on What is CRI. Maintenance Maintenance and replacement periods of LED bulbs are longer than other lighting. It is appropriate to use higher quality LED bulbs in these areas in order to avoid frequent maintenance in difficult to reach places in your store. In stores with very high ceilings, it may be necessary to install scaffolding to replace light bulbs in light fixtures or bulbs in a very large gallery chandelier. The cost of replacing the bulb can be much higher than the cost of the bulb. You decide where you should use the economical bulbs. Glare and reflection Lighting is as much about the product you are going to illuminate as much as how you use the bulb or fixture. If your goal is to create an inviting atmosphere that will help customers shop effectively, the lights should not be directly in the customers' face. Lights should be directed to the furniture you are trying to sell or where you are trying to direct customers. Consider the location of any glass or reflective surfaces. The lights should not reach the customer's eyes at an irritating level, either directly or by reflecting off a surface. As a result, invest in the right lighting for your store. The right lighting will help you increase sales and repay your investment as soon as possible. Decorative lighting displayed together with the furniture contributes to both the store ambience and the visuality of the furniture. In addition, these are not only used for lighting purposes, but are supportive products that increase sales and can be sold.
