Practical Q&A
Question: How to choose the power and color temperature of the ceiling lights brands?
Answer: According to the mainstream rough estimate of 70-80lm/w light efficiency, follow the recommendations to meet the basic brightness of the home without pressure.
Living room: 4-5W/square meterBedroom: 2-3w/square meter
Restaurant, kitchen: 5-6W/square meter
In order to make the lighting effect more coordinated, it is recommended that the same type of lighting source in the same space use the same color temperature.
It is recommended that the color temperature of a ceiling light be no higher than 4000K.
Nowadays, almost all ceiling lamps come with dimming and memory functions as standard, so there is no need to worry.
It is better to purchase stepless dimming in bedrooms rather than three-stage dimming, if you are experiencing a problem with over-brightness.
How to choose a color rendering index
Answer: Of course, the higher the better, the ceiling lamp is a basic lighting fixture.
R9>0, according to the national standard Ra>80 can meet most of your home’s needs.
Therefore, the CRI of many large circulation brands is still based on the national standard line. Ceiling lamps with high color rendering can be used in studios and children’s bedrooms if you have a Sufficient budget.
Better light quality
In certain scenes, like painting, makeup, and other tasks that require high-quality colors, light sources of superior quality can play an important role.
They are also more comfortable for daily use. This is why we buy high-color rendering lamps or full-spectrum lamps for grounding.
There are many reasons to be angry. Avoid gimmicks like “eye protection”
If you care about color rendering index, purple LED is currently the first choice. It is characterized by a low spectral miss rate, a high color tolerance, a href=”http://ledlights.ng/”>index, and /a>a gentle spectrum.
For example, the pictures below are both 4000K and Ra>96 high color rendering LED lamps. The difference can be clearly seen from the spectrum.
Some lights have a high apparent color index, but the color is still dim under the light.
This is probably because only Ra is marked, and Ra is the average of R1-R8.
This section primarily represents the reductionibility of light colours. As an example, the R12 color in the image below is only 70+.
Ra is not the best way to support CRI.
You need to look at the spectrum, CRI, Rg/Rf, and color tolerance.
Red apples and red strawberries are commonly used by e-commerce companies to describe the CRI.
Buying purple LEDs is the easiest and most reliable solution.
Q: How do ceiling lamps emit light? What are the pros and cons?
Answer: Direct lighting, light guide plate side lighting, linear silicone lampshade
Q: What are the advantages of light guide plate ceiling lamps over traditional ceiling lamps?
Answer: It is thinner, about 2cm, compared to the traditional ceiling lamp, which is about 10cm.
Comfortable. Compared with the direct downward emission of traditional ceiling lamps, the side emission of the light guide plate is softer.
More beautiful, simpler and more durable, and less likely to become outdated.
It’s more worry-free. It’s a metaphysics that traditional ceiling lamps won’t let mosquitoes in. It’s science that light-guided ceiling lamps won’t let mosquitoes in.
Richer means more expensive
What are the advantages of direct-emitting lamps over light guide plates?
Answer: The direct-emitting light source/power supply is modular.
You can change the light source by yourself by removing the lampshade.
The maintenance cost is extremely low. Non-professionals cannot handle the light guide plate.
Linear silicone lampshade: The most commonly used method for linear surface ceiling lamps, which can create a linear feel and is slightly dazzling. The conventional lamp body thickness can range from 6cm to 8cm.
Q: What is the life expectancy of a ceiling light?
Answer: The service life of LED lamps from the brand is generally 15000h25000H+. According to the usage frequency of 8 hours a day, there is no pressure for more than 5 years. Lamps with high positioning are free of pressure for at least 10 years (with low light efficiency). I have said it a hundred times and come with it. Please buy brand-name lamps and lanterns for light sources. Even if they are brand-name lamps and lanterns, you must purchase brand-name light sources.
It is not dead light, but a product that does not meet the commonly used L70 standards.
How to choose the right size ceiling lamp for the living room
Answer: The ratio between the length width and the heightwidth should be 1:5. If the living room measures 5M 3.5M, then the lamp size should be around 100cm70cm. It is for reference only.
Question: What is the mainstream price range for ceiling lamps?
Answer: Taking three bedrooms and two living rooms as an example, usually 2-3K is the mainstream budget. It doesn’t matter how much the ceiling lamp costs, as long as it has a premium brand, is a different model or offers a better light source, materials, workmanship and functionality. It can be purchased as a set. You can save money by buying them together.
Question: There are many big brand ceiling lamps online that are very cheap. Can I buy them online?
Answer: Of course you can. If your pocket is tight, the running models of various brands are almost the best solution, but don’t ask for too much. If you have high demands, please top up.
Why?
- E-commerce competition and volumetric energy stores cannot even think about it. E-commerce is accustomed to selling 10W+ of a model, but the entities are not even aware of it. The profits of merchants are low because each brand has their own models that sell in large quantities. , even lose money and make money during big sales, relying on high unit price lamps to make profits.
Large quantities lead to advantages, single product sales often start at tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and one production line only produces one lamp. No matter how low the cost is, the mold opening cost spread equally to each lamp is almost negligible.
Does the quality of the product seem poor?
-Won’t
Today’s LED light source technology is very mature. The design service life is basically 15000H~25000H or more. The average maintenance interval will be no less than five years if the light is used 8 hours per day. And the average defect rate will be no more than 1%. The manufacturer is likely to lose money if the light is not maintained.
In terms of light source: there is no problem if it is qualified, and many ultra-cheap lamps have a color rendering index of over 90. LEDs and driving powers supplies are already mature and very popular.
In terms of materials: it is indeed “saving”, but rarely “stealing”.
Q: The line-surface series ceiling lamps are much more expensive. What is the difference in price? What’s the price difference?
Answer: The price difference is mainly due to the model. The high price is due to a small sales volume, high costs of assembly, and costs for single mode. From the perspective of the lamp itself, the premium is higher than the value. It is worth a few dollars more from an aesthetic perspective. Buy something that is visually pleasing.
Question: What kind of style will not go out of style easily?
Answer: The more classic and simple the model is, the more attractive it will be. The more flashy and internet-famous the model, the shorter the life cycle. Styles of lamps change every year. It is impossible to decorate your home every year. The best models to buy are classics. main direction.
Q: Can you recommend a brand of ceiling lamp?
The price is recommended for a three-family room (only suitable for traditional ceiling lamps that emit direct downward light)
You can choose from major brands in domestic distribution such as Opple NVC and Sanxiong if you are concerned about the cost-effectiveness of your product (0.8-2K).
If the budget is not bad (around 2K), please refer to Panasonic and Philips
Choose Berman (5K) watch if you are looking for precision craftsmanship and comfort in light source.
Yeelight (around 2K), if you are looking for Mijia smart lighting, is a great choice.

2) lipro E2 ceiling lamp
Important upgrade
1Continues the excellent quality of “Ruran Light” which is close to sunlight.
Upgrade to the Mijia ecosystem based on Lipro Smart Home and HomeKit.
Brightness upgrade: The brightness/power has been improved and the lamp is now “not dazzling”.
Upgrade to a 4Color temperature from 3000-4000K up to 3000-5000K
Upgraded dimming, with improved power performance and a smoother, more delicate dimming.
6Material upgrade, the metal lamp body has better texture and stronger thermal conductivity.
7Quick installation upgrade, optimized quick installation base, making installation more convenient.
My readers who read my articles often know that I always recommend this brand, and they have never been let down.
The light source from head to toe is purple LED, with low blue light, low color tolerance, high color fidelity, and high color rendering index CRI90+. The light source is of top quality, Ra97+.
I’m talking about him alone today because HomeKit, Mijia, and Matter have finally arrived.
The boasts I once boasted about have finally come true, and I won’t call him an abortion expert anymore.
Each product has an original design and can think from the user’s perspective.
After installation, the round ceiling light is only 2.16cm in thickness.
The materials and craftsmanship are unambiguous from the inside to the outside. Although the price is not cheap, judging from the comprehensive products , the price/performance ratio is still there.
Berman Rohm S1/A1/L1
I bought Rohm. It was a real snafu. Just one month after receiving the goods, it was said that it had been upgraded to full spectrum.
I did not confirm with an official if it was a LED purple (I do not know if this is true). Ten thousand ants were floating in the sky, but Judging from the data I tested before, the light source has indeed improved a lot.
The official announcement has been made
This lamp works well regardless of the source. The lamp is made of metal and has a lot of weight.
It is easy to tell that it’s a Berman Lamp at first glance.
It’s also easily recognizable. Berman also offers a 10-year warranty on performance, which is a very good thing in the lighting industry.
It is the first time that a lighting company of international standing has taken this approach.
Both rectangular living room lights and round bedroom lights are available
4) Honeywell ceiling light
This is not a new model. It’s listed with other models in the same range of prices for your convenience.
The ideal living room lamp emits 8000lm of light, while the direct light from the sun can reach up to 9000lm. Oh my!
Someone asked, compared with natural ceiling lights brands, ideal light has higher power but lower brightness?
-Lamps with high color rendering often have to sacrifice brightness. Ideal light is side-emitting and has a lower utilization rate. High power and low brightness are normal.
It is also a very good lamp, and it is still highly recognizable. Here are the 13 grids of the brand.
Some people claim that taking pictures of Honeywell light fixtures with a smartphone can cause “water ripples”, and there’s a stroboscopic danger.
Let me tell you: No, no, no. There is no risk in using a stroboscope to measure it. Mobile phone photography is not reliable. The photos I took with my phone didn’t have any “water ripples”.
The lamp is a good lamp, but I personally don’t like putting the logo on the luminous surface. It feels a bit forced to watch an advertisement.
5) yeelight slim/mix light guide
Yeelight is very familiar. Mijia’s eco-lighting section is dominated by this product. Its products have good value for money. After the ultra-thin ceiling lamps in the first half of the year were overturned, slim mix is here. It has all the functions that Mijia has.
Showdown: I’m also riding the popularity of these ceiling lights brands. I’m too busy to do this during this time. I will also use the cloud for the time being. The feedback from friends is not bad. According to the urinary properties of yeelight, it should be No big deal.
Everyone can identify themselves
Pick up missing items
When your budget is limited, buying high-volume models from various brands can be the most cost-effective solution. Just buy them blindly and without thinking.
All of them are used to generate income during big sales. The price-performance ratio is very high. Usually, a whole house can be purchased for just a few hundred yuan.
You can enjoy the quality and service of big brands at the price of other brands, but don’t ask for too much, especially Workmanship, please top up if you have high requirements.
Budget for the entire house is 0.5K to 1.5K. There are models with high volume, models that are cost-effective, and models with high color rendering. Here’s a link:

2) yeelight Lingxi (within 2K)
This is a very classic model. Last year, the package price was over 2K. I tested the ceiling lights brands last year and the color rendering index was Ra95. According to the official website, the light source has been upgraded to “full spectrum” of Ra97. Theoretically, it’s better than the original. Even without upgrading the source of light, the price is still worth it.
Lingxi has launched a back-mounted tri-proof light this year. It’s up to you to choose. Here are some suggestions.
How do you select an individual?
Three male Aurora Haoyu within 2K or less
The main ceiling lights brands is less than 1K. It’s very affordable and has a great light source. I have recommended this light to several Zhihu influencers through private messages and bought it. They all said it was good after using it and that the price is also important.
If you still want to be cheaper, you can choose the cloud wing set for bedroom lights, which can be done for more than 1K for the whole house.
4) yeelight fiber jade (around 2K)
This lamp has been mentioned thousands of times. This is a classic Yeelight model. It used to have daylight algorithm, but it has been castrated long ago. The reduction of configuration is probably to widen the gap with the new model, so that the new model can be pushed away more easily. There isn’t a lot of toothpaste to squeeze in.
The lamp has a color rendering index of 90+. It comes with Mijia Smart Control, Atom Switch, dimming, and color adjustment as standard.
A three-bedroom package with four lights cost just under 2k last year. It costs only a few thousand Yuan this year. That’s a savings of hundreds of yuan. It is still worth buying.
5) Philips Yixuan ceiling lamp (1K+)
The lampshade has a minimalist design, and the frame is made from solid alloy. With a 120W 8300lm luminous flux, you can easily cover more than 30 square metres with just one lamp. The 970*650 size is too big. Large light-emitting surfaces also produce a softer light with the same brightness.
Wide color temperature, the lowest color temperature is 2700K, the highest color temperature is 6500K.
CRI, Ra80+, passed.
Ultra-thin? The frame thickness does not equate to the overall thinness of ceiling light brands. The whole lamp is 9cm and the frame is 2.8cm.
intelligent? You can travel all over the world with one remote control. Fortunately, it has 4 preset lighting modes, including sleep mode and delayed lights off function, so you can finally find some comfort.
Why do you recommend this lamp?
The picture shows that the lamp is very durable with a low failure rate. It is a cost-effective model from a long-established lamp company. Expect nothing fancy and no eye-catching features. This lamp is for those who are looking to simplify their lives, be pragmatic and worry-free.
6) Midea natural/s (1.5K-3K+)
As you can tell from the name, the main selling point is the light source. It is good to have a light source with a Ra98, but R12’s blue saturation is only in the upper 80s and not 90.
The ceiling light brands are already good. The manufacturer just doesn’t want you to know. That’s it.
The light guide plate is the most important selling point for this lamp, not the quality light source. This method produces a very uniform light.
This lamp has good brightness, and the prism lens guides the light evenly, making it bright and not dazzling.
Well, the S is meant to lower the price. It has a plastic shell, lower brightness, and smart control. If you want to be cheap, have a good light source, and don’t have any requirements for texture, choose S.
