Proper use of large table lamps

Several mistakes are made when
it comes to lighting a space.  One is
to charge each room with light bulbs, another is not to distribute the
luminaires properly or not to use dimmers of light intensity.

One
of the biggest mistakes we make is, for example, to use a lamp that is too
small on a large dining table or a large table lamp next to an armchair, both
of which give the effect that everything looks disproportionate, to choose
the right size of lamps, this must be considered.  Another mistake is not to place the lamps
at the correct
height.

How to choose the
right lamp size.

We
should know that lamps in stores tend to be smaller than they actually are,
before we choose and buy it, we must be clear about the size we need.  If we have a large table, we need to place
a large table lamp or a set of smaller lamps.

If
we have a low table, placed next to an armchair, we must put large table
lamps on it to achieve the ideal height. 
We should know that if we are sitting next to the table lamp, the
bottom of the screen should be at shoulder height.  If we place the same lamp.  On a high table, the screen will exceed eye
level so that focus makes us
blind.

Choosing the right
luminaire.

On the
market today, there is a large selection of luminaires in type, shape and
size.  Our advice is to place an LED
light, which is of better quality and performance, in addition to having a
number of colors and intensities in a single luminaire.  You can also use halogen or cold light, the
only luminaire we do not recommend is to use light bulbs, as they are
inefficient

The shape and size do not matter for
a table lamp, as the screen completely hides it, but if the screen allows
visualization of the light bulb, we should pay attention to this detail and
place a decorative light bulb.
