Functional lighting

Functional lighting

Targeted lighting on work areas

Functional lighting is needed in all places dedicated to an activity or task such as cooking, reading, makeup or office work. Good functional lighting must provide a powerful and focused light on the worktop.

To achieve good functional lighting, you need to create a direct, powerful and focused light on the work area. The idea is to use light sources with a focused diffusion angle (less than 60 °) directly directed to the work surface. LED spotlights and downlights are the ideal light sources for creating efficient and elegant functional lighting.

Functional lighting is usually done after basic lighting.

Lighting angle:

Qualifies the volume illuminated by the light source. An illumination angle of 360 ° corresponds to lighting in all directions. On the other hand, a smaller scattering angle, for example, 45 °, corresponds to a focused illumination lighting precisely a given area.

Big angle:

Refers to a light source with an angle greater than 100 °, large lighting volume - non-focused light

Small angle:

Refers to a light source with an angle of less than 60 °, low light volume - focused light

White hot:

Characterizes the hue, the color of light. A warm white LED light bulb diffuses a yellow-orange light very close to the shade of an incandescent bulb. The color temperature of a warm white is 2500 to 3500K (see Kelvin).

White cold:

Characterizes the hue, the color of light. A cool white light LED light diffuses a white-bluish light. The color temperature of a warm white is 5000 to 6500K (see Kelvin).

Neutral white:

Characterizes the hue, the color of light. A neutral white LED light bulb diffuses a white light similar to daylight. The color temperature of a warm white is 4000 to 5000K (see Kelvin).

White ceramic:

Very hard and resistant noble material of white color.
