Specifications

The parametric data of all types of chandeliers are similar to each other. Having studied their main most important characteristics, the buyer will be able to avoid a number of irreparable mistakes when choosing. Also, technical features are the criteria for choosing the best models for the home.

room	Parameter	Characteristic
1	Energy consumption	The presence of such characteristics as efficiency gives the advantage of the chosen chandelier, since the energy consumed will be much less than that of other models.
2	Dimmability	An excellent parameter of the chandelier will be if it is made with a dimmer function, which allows you to adjust the brightness without difficulty and special efforts in several modes: • Maximum coverage; • Brightness in the style of "Medium"; • Minimum light. It is very comfortable and fashionable.
3	Chuck type	The cartridges built into the chandelier differ in heating temperature and in the power of the bulbs, which are designed for a particular type of cartridge. Also, chandeliers come immediately with built-in LED lamps.
4	Light bulbs	For each type of cartridge, certain bulbs are available for sale, differing in power, depending on how much the cartridges themselves are heated.
5	Control	An important characteristic is how the chandelier can be controlled during operation. The size of the price tag depends on how the chandelier is controlled. For example, the easiest way is to turn it on and off with a switch. A modern innovation will be a cotton system built into the chandelier, as well as a complete set with a remote control. There are models with a combination of control possibilities, that is, on / off with a clap, and also thanks to a simple wall switch.
6	Chandelier type	Depends on what room in the apartment was purchased for. You should also consider the features of the models: • for the kitchen you need a chandelier that will emit maximum light and is made of materials resistant to various pollution that will not absorb all the odors, with the possibility of easy wiping; • to the nursery - it is better if they are made of unbreakable materials; • for the living room (in the hall) you can buy a multi-level chandelier, or on a rope; • any option you like is suitable for the bedroom, for example, a chandelier-lamp will be the most suitable type of these electric light devices; • for the bathroom, the type and design of the chandelier will depend on the interior of the room, where both ceiling and suspended versions will perfectly fit; • in the presence of stretch ceilings, you need to choose such chandeliers so as not to create inconvenience when installing them (with a low landing, with light plastic shades).
7	Price	It comes directly from several factors, namely: • popularity of the model (brand); • design; • material of manufacture; • type of bulbs; • number of bulbs; • functional. The most budgetary, at a price ranging from 2000 to 3000 - paper, plastic, premium class, the average price of which is 90,000-100,000 rubles - crystal or made of expensive solid wood, and made of metal and textiles can cost in the price range from 4 to 60 thousand rubles.

Thus, the price tags for chandeliers are different, the choice depends on how much material a person is able to dispose of at the time of purchase. But, the more technical characteristics a chandelier has, the higher the popularity and advertising of the manufacturer, the more expensive it is, which is worth paying special attention to.

What is the best model to buy, everyone should decide for himself, taking into account his individual wishes, financial opportunities.

Main selection criteria

It will not be superfluous to take into account the important features of all chandeliers in general, which are directly general criteria for choosing.

Bulbs: type and quantity

For spacious rooms, it is worth choosing models with a lot of plafond (many carob). If the room is compact, then you can easily get by with an inexpensive chandelier with one screw-in light bulb.

The type of bulbs intended for the selected model should be taken into account, because it can be:

• LED bulbs, which also have the name LED, emit pure light, close to daylight, are quite environmentally friendly and economical, allow you to save well on electrical energy (up to 90%), they exclude heat absorption.The only drawback is the high cost of chandeliers with such lamps;

• luminescent - there is practically no heat transfer, so the risk of a fire from overheating is not great. Saving electricity is also typical for this type of light bulbs, but the deformation of their surface leads to a loss of tightness, which can contribute to the release of harmful and dangerous chemical elements and their vapor compounds into the air. The price tag for such lamps is far from budget;

• incandescent bulbs are good old bulbs that get very hot when they are on, giving off heat, and consuming energy uneconomically. They are produced with different base, sizes, power. Gradually, they recede into the background, now almost every home has switched to more modern methods of lighting. But the cost of these lamps is low and affordable for everyone.

When choosing a chandelier, you should take into account the size of the room for which it is purchased, because a small bedroom of huge dimensions does not need a chandelier, there will be too much light from a large number of bulbs, and this, firstly, is uneconomical, and secondly, it is unpleasant and even harmful for eye.

Material

Chandeliers are made of various materials, differing in strength, appearance, quality, price. The choice depends on the budget and personal wishes. Someone likes wooden models, but someone does not accept such materials in their interior, so here individual preferences, home furnishings, and design should be taken into account.

Manufacturers offer chandeliers from the following materials:

• glass and crystal - such luxury is not cheap, requires careful and difficult care, it is suitable as an ideal addition to spacious halls, living rooms, dining rooms, the interior of which is close to the antique style, art deco, when the chandeliers are made in the form of crystal drops, or the oriental one is luxurious a chandelier made of black metal with glass inserts will look;

• metal (bronze, copper, brass, steel) - means chrome, nickel or gold plating, which greatly affects the cost of the chandelier. Of course, they rank first in terms of strength. This material is well suited for creating models made in antique, vintage styles;
• wood - requires a protective coating from moisture, such models are installed mainly in suburban houses, summer cottages, or cottages, on verandas;
• plastic is an important condition that should not be ignored - this is the mandatory absence of phenol-formaldehyde resin in the composition, which, when heated, releases toxic fumes. The advantage is the rich color range of shades, which are much more attractive in terms of brightness than metal and glass. You can install this view absolutely in any room, the price is affordable;
• textiles (lace, velvet, chintz, etc.) - for lovers of custom designs, this is a great option to experiment when choosing a chandelier. This variety will harmoniously look in an environment made, for example, in ethnic style. It is not recommended to install such chandeliers in rooms with increased formation of humidity in the air;
• paper will perfectly complement the Japanese style. Paper chandeliers are very affordable, modern, but quite fragile, and more prone to deterioration.

Overall dimensions

The dimensions of the device are based on the quadrature of the room in which it will be used. The dimensions are determined by the height of the model, its diameter and the number of arms with installed shades. But in order to correctly calculate the required chandelier diameter for a particular room, it is rational to apply the formula:

• (a + b) x10 = c, where a is the width of the room in meters, b is its length, also measured in meters, c is the result of the required diameter of the chandelier for a given room in millimeters.

For example, for a bedroom, the width / length of the sides of which is 8/10 meters, the correct diameter of the future chandelier will be: (8 + 10) x10 = 180 mm.

The above calculations are necessary if there are no design skills, because a small chandelier will not decorate a huge hall, but will even be lost against the general background and will not be able to fully fulfill its function of illuminating such an overall space.

Chandelier power

A powerful chandelier should be in a large room, otherwise there will be little sense from it. Therefore, for the kitchen, hall, bedrooms, children's rooms, take into account the fact that 1 meter should account for 20 W, for example, in a bedroom with an area of ​​20 m² you need to purchase a model with a power of 400 W - this is quite intense illumination necessary for a comfortable finding of a person with such an artificial light.

In bathrooms, children's rooms, hallways and those rooms where bright lighting is not required, you can install devices with a power of 14-18 W per meter of space.

Storerooms, utility rooms are completely dispensed with diffused, dim light, so here you can proceed from the calculations: for 1 meter - 10-12 watts.

If several devices are planned to be attached to the room, then the power indicators should be summed up among themselves.

Design style

You cannot ignore the fact that the chandelier should be in perfect harmony with the interior of the room. So, for example, in the classic style of the living room, dining room, models of luxurious design made of materials such as glass and crystal are appropriate.

Chandeliers of the modernized style are made of glass with a matte finish, with metal inserts, they go well with the classic and minimalist design of the room.

Ethnicity - ideal for Japanese, Chinese decoration of rooms, made of paper, as well as textile, which look beautiful in a Scandinavian or French theme.

High-tech is a style in which the use of pendant metal chandeliers with clear lines, smooth shapes and not flashy colors is excellent.

In order to decorate an unusual room with a non-standard design, you can buy an original model, unusual in shape, color, texture. But such luxury must be ordered from the masters who, taking into account the wishes of the client, create an exclusive for a specific purpose for the customer.

Appointment

The most important room of any apartment is the living room, because this is where the hostesses receive long-awaited guests. But important premises are also the kitchen, where the family spends most of the time, bedrooms, where it is important to take into account many factors and individual preferences for the comfort of those in them.

Therefore, when choosing a chandelier for each room, you need to treat this matter with trepidation, nevertheless, correctly selected lighting will create a wonderful impression on the guests of the house as a whole, and for the residents - a favorable psycho-emotional state, good mood without creating inconveniences for vision.
