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:
  • Dimensions of the Space: The size and layout of the space play a crucial role in light distribution.
  • Colors of Ceilings, Walls, and Floors: These elements absorb and reflect light, thereby affecting the perception of the lighting.
  • Activities: Each activity requires specific levels of brightness to ensure safety and comfort.
  • Type of Lighting: General, task, theatrical, or ambient lighting has different uses and effects.
  • Direction of Lighting: The choice between direct and indirect lighting can drastically change the atmosphere of a space.
  • Uniformity and Color Rendering: The uniformity of lighting and its ability to render colors accurately are also significant parameters.
  • Natural Light: The presence of natural light influences the need for artificial lighting.
  • Arrangement of Fixtures: The way fixtures are placed in a space affects the overall experience.
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.

Safety is the primary criterion when it comes to lighting a child's room. While all lighting fixtures in the home should meet safety standards, children do not have the same ability as adults to handle electrical devices. Therefore, special care is necessary.


  • The Risks of Child Curiosity
The biggest risk comes from children's curiosity. Young children often try to explore their environment by creating makeshift ladders or disassembling objects to see how they work. This includes lighting fixtures, which is why careful selection is essential.
Lighting should be placed in areas that are difficult for children to reach, and the quality of their construction is also critical.


  • An Evolving Space
The child's room is the fastest-evolving space in the home. As children grow, their needs change rapidly. Simple play becomes more complex, and activities like drawing and studying require different lighting setups. Therefore, the lighting design must consider future needs.


  • Durability: Key to Longevity
Lighting fixtures in a child's room undergo tough trials. Thus, durability is another criterion that must be examined. The quality of construction and the ability to repair any potential damage will ensure long-term use.


  • Types of Lighting
General lighting should be at a level of 150-200 lux, preferably indirect and adjustable with a dimmer. Indirect lighting is ideal for infants, as it protects their sensitive eyes from harsh light.
For task lighting, adequate lighting is required at the desk (300-500 lux) and on the nightstand (70-120 lux). Here, flexible desk lamps and small nightstand fixtures that can be mounted or secured to the wall are preferred, minimizing the risk of tipping over.


  • Night Lighting and Psychological Needs
Night lighting can provide additional safety and reduce children's fears of the dark. It is important to use fixtures that facilitate navigation in the room without disturbing sleep.


  • Avoiding Dangerous Solutions
Theatrical lighting and fragile fixtures have no place in a child's room. Additionally, makeshift and cheap constructions should be avoided, as they often do not meet safety standards. It is better to invest in branded fixtures that comply with international safety standards.


  • Conclusion
The safety of our children is worth far more than the "extra" we may need to spend on quality lighting. Lighting fixtures are electrical devices that can turn a low purchase price into a tragic cost. By making careful choices, we ensure a safe and functional environment for our children, promoting their development and well-being.
