  To choose chandelier to the apartment, it is necessary to consider many factors, now the widest range of chandeliers is presented at the market of lighting equipment. It is necessary to decide not only on that, the chosen chandelier will how harmoniously fit into interior, but also questions of its functionality. The correct lighting of the room significantly affects working capacity and health of the people living in it.

To choose chandelier, it is necessary to decide on the necessary power of luminous flux first of all. If lighting is insufficiently bright, then at inhabitants of the room the sight can deteriorate, but also too bright light is also harmful to eyes: it causes overfatigue and headache. Brightness of light given by chandelier depends not only on the power rating of the lamps used in it, but also on their type.

The most widespread type of lamps – simple glow lamps to which many give preference owing to the settled habit. Light from such lamps warm, unsharp is also well perceived by human sight. However these lamps have also essential shortcoming: in comparison with the consumed tension exit of luminous flux at them is very small. Efficiency of such lamps is estimated approximately at five percent, but also, they quite often fuse. Also glow lamps have property to heat up that can lead to deformation and damage of plafond or parts chandeliers.

Good and economic option are fluorescent lamps. Power of their luminous flux is several times higher, than at glow lamps with the same rated voltage. Light from fluorescent lamps cold, white that is a little less comfortable for human eye. Rather high cost of fluorescent lamps in comparison with glow lamps should not confuse you: this difference is completely compensated by long life cycle, fluorescent lamps do not fuse as often as glow lamps.

As fastening there are two types of chandeliers: classical models and ceiling. The classical model fastens by means of suspension, and ceiling looks kind of pressed to surface of ceiling and are carried out usually in the form of convex "plates". Such chandeliers well are suitable for installation in rooms with small area or low ceilings as suspended chandeliers will occupy too large volume in such rooms.

When choosing chandelier pay attention to color and arrangement of plafond. If its form means that light will go through it, then color of chandelier should be chosen especially carefully: to pick up it under wall-paper or color of furniture will be insufficiently as color lighting will distort initial color of interior. Also it is necessary to pay special attention to type of the lamps used in chandelier: at some lamps the attractive and non-standard exterior is combined with non-standard socle that complicates their replacement and purchase.

Following the listed advice. You without effort will be able to choose suitable chandelier for your apartment.
