The kitchen should not have dark corners and long shadows, all appliances and work areas should be well lit. Therefore, all light sources are divided into functional groups:

• Ceiling. The most powerful fixtures are traditionally located on the ceiling around the perimeter. Single lamps in the center of the room go into oblivion.

• Work area lighting (countertop and sink). Here, low-power recessed furniture fixtures or LED strips on the bottom of kitchen cabinets are ideal — of course, put into a protective box. When choosing light sources, it is important to consider the reflectivity of kitchen furniture. If the surfaces are dull, you need lamps of greater power. Frosted surfaces tend to absorb light, while glossy, on the contrary, reflect.

• Dining area lighting. It is important to create a comfortable atmosphere, because lighting affects both appetite and mood as a whole. Lighting designers advise choosing luminaires with a wide shade. They give a wide stream of directional light, which is enough to illuminate the entire dining area. Ideally, you should choose a model with the ability to adjust the intensity of the light flux.

Back in 2010, scientists calculated the luminous flux power comfortable for the body and reflected it in the norms of SNiP. Since then, much has changed, but the recommended lighting standards have remained the same. For the kitchen, they are 150 lux per 1 square meter. Each lighting device how showed on [https://bestlightguide.com](https://bestlightguide.com) he has a certain level of luminous flux, which is measured in lumens. For example, a LED lamp - an analogue of a 100-watt incandescent bulb - has a luminous flux of approximately 1,100 lumens. Converting lumens to suites is quite simple - 1 lux is equal to 1 lumen multiplied by an area of 1 m². Accordingly, the total light flow for a 20 m² kitchen will be 3,000 lumens.

It is not necessary to fit into the norms of “tyutelk in tyutelku”, but too much difference should be avoided. For example, a total illumination of 4000 lumens for the same kitchen of 20 m² will be uncomfortable - the eyes will hurt from bright light.

Another clear, though far from new, trend is to squeeze maximum efficiency out of natural light. Ideally, the kitchen should be light enough not to turn on the light during the day. Of course, a lot depends on the size of the windows and the landscape behind them - if the neighboring house obscures the whole world, you can’t do without additional lighting. However, sometimes the full potential of daylight is “eaten up” by the decoration and decor of the kitchen, namely the matte walls of dark tones and blackout curtains. Another unobvious enemy of natural light is dust on double-glazed windows. You will be surprised, but windows that have not been cleaned for a long time pass 30% less light than they just washed. Finally, the window sills, blocked by flowers and kitchen utensils, impede the illumination.

But what if the walls are light and the windows are clean, and at the height of the day the kitchen is still dark and uncomfortable? Daylight lamps will solve the problem. According to the spectrum, they are most close to the sun's rays.

• In small rooms with low ceilings, pendant lights are not recommended - better than ceiling, in a minimalist style. Sophisticated design draws attention to the small square of the ceiling and visually narrows the area of the kitchen.

• For very small kitchens, a system of 4-6 spotlights on swivel arms is suitable. By changing their direction and angle , it is possible to achieve optimal illumination of the desired zone. When buying, it is important to pay attention to the degree of the light source.

• You can smooth out the feeling of emptiness in a large kitchen if you place spotlights along the middle ceiling line. And if you position the light sources in the corners, you can visually expand a small room.

Finally, we note that any lamps in the kitchen at the same time are elements of its interior - without this in any way. Therefore, all sources should be combined in terms of design, and ideally - should be made in the same style.]]>
