| Description | Lighting vs Fixtures: The Importance of Proper Selection
One of the most common mistakes made in lighting a space is confusing fixtures with lighting. As strange as it may sound, these two elements are entirely different. Fixtures are just one parameter of lighting, while lighting encompasses a range of factors that shape the final atmosphere of a space. Differences Between Lighting and Fixtures Lighting depends on many factors, such as:
The Importance of Proper Fixture Selection
Buying fixtures without planning and relying solely on their appearance or price does not achieve effective lighting. It’s akin to purchasing clothes without knowing your size.
The ideal approach includes a photometric study, which identifies the lighting needs of the space. Through this, we quantitatively and qualitatively determine lighting requirements, adjust the budget, and arrive at the most suitable lighting fixtures.
Informed Selection This way, choices become informed rather than random. Thus, we ensure that the selected fixtures meet the needs of the space on every level.
Conversely, if we don’t know what lighting we need, "any fixture will do." This paraphrased phrase highlights the importance of knowledge and preparation in the field of lighting. After all, a space can be dramatically enhanced or diminished by lighting choices.
Conclusion Choosing the right fixtures is not merely a purchasing process; it is a strategic decision that impacts daily life and the atmosphere of our home. By investing time and attention in the process, we ensure an environment that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.

BAYSIDE MEGARA TITANIUM Φ121 cm E14 2x15W fluor or LED | In our daily lives, we spend a significant amount of time watching television. Many of us wonder whether this screen time poses risks to our eyesight and what type of lighting is best to minimize eye strain. Here, we address some common questions about creating the ideal viewing environment.
The first step in ensuring a comfortable viewing experience is to position the TV correctly in the room. Make sure it isn’t facing a window or sliding door, as this can create glare and make it difficult to see the screen clearly. Experiment with various placements to find one where neither natural light nor artificial lighting directly reflects on the TV screen.
It's also essential that the TV is positioned at least five times its height away from where you will be sitting. This distance helps reduce eye strain and provides a more comfortable viewing angle.
When it comes to lighting while watching TV, opinions vary widely. Some prefer complete darkness, while others enjoy bright lighting. However, both extremes can lead to eye fatigue and even headaches.
In very dark rooms, the contrast between the bright screen and the surrounding darkness can be too intense. This situation causes the pupils to dilate, making them more sensitive to the bright light from the screen. Conversely, if the room is too bright, the image may appear washed out, making it difficult to see clearly.
The best solution is to find a balanced lighting level—neither complete darkness nor harsh brightness. Ambient lighting is ideal for this scenario. Consider using floor lamps or ceiling lights that direct light upward or towards the walls, as well as table lamps for added comfort.
For an even better experience, consider using the "Ideal Lume LCD backlight" lighting gadget. This involves attaching LED or fluorescent light strips to the wall behind the TV. This system minimizes screen glare and provides just enough light to reduce eye strain while watching. Additionally, it enhances the screen's color performance, making your viewing experience even more enjoyable.
Incorporating the right lighting when watching TV can significantly enhance your viewing experience while protecting your eyesight. By carefully considering the placement of your TV and the lighting conditions in the room, you can create an environment that is both comfortable and enjoyable for hours of entertainment.
