With so many factors, mix together, how to choose a lamp? !
Is there no law? !
I tried to summarize it! Where do you start? structure! The main difference between ceiling lamps and chandeliers is the structure. Because of the different structures, a series of differences are caused, and the difference in structure begins with the installation method!
1.1 Structural differences
The main difference between the two is that the ceiling lamp is a ceiling-mounted installation, that is, the chassis is all adsorbed and fixed on the ceiling, and the power supply is connected, and then the cover is attached, or other accessories are hung, and the installation is successful. Note that the ceiling lamp is completely attached to the ceiling, so the structure is very compact! Simple and elegant! Suitable for low floor houses!
The chandelier is actually attached to the ceiling! ! ! Unlike the ceiling light, the ceiling plate of the chandelier or the ceiling bowl is relatively small! ! ! And there is a center pillar or a chain! If it is the middle column, there will be too much development space and Lenovo space around this central column, and all kinds of styling ideas will be casual! If it is a chain, the bottom is often a large ceiling plate! That's right, the following is equivalent to hanging a ceiling light! This has become "sucking and hanging"! Because so many pieces are hanged, the chandeliers are generally high, so it is more suitable for residential houses with high floors! Of course, it is not just a house, it may be a hotel, a hotel, a banquet hall, a clubhouse, etc., and it is magnificent!
As for the reputation of the ceiling lamp, why is it so great that it will benefit from the development of residential real estate in China? The domestic house is dominated by small-sized and low-rise houses, so the ceiling lamp has a considerable market. Compared with the chandelier, it occupies the residential market with high floor and villas, and is the main light type for villas, hotels, clubs, hotels and other engineering sites! ! !
1.2 The specific structure of the ceiling lamp
The ceiling lamp is generally composed of a ceiling chassis, a light source, a power source, and a mask.
The chassis is generally made of stainless steel hardware chassis. It is fixed on the top of the ceiling by self-tapping screws. There will be a buckle or a hanging ring on the chassis. If it is a buckle, the mask is attached below. If it is a loop, it is hung. Is crystal;
The light source is to provide illumination. In the past, energy-saving lamps, candle bulbs, incandescent lamps, etc. are commonly used. Nowadays, LED light sources are basically used, because energy saving, environmental protection, power saving, pollution-free, light color can be adjusted, and can be remotely controlled. Long, not easy to break, etc.;
The main function of the power supply is to convert the 220V mains into the voltage required by the light source. Generally, it uses a smart IC power supply that provides a constant current. In addition, it also has protection circuits, overvoltage, undervoltage, open circuit, short circuit, and flame retardant protection.
The mask, generally an acrylic mask, is mainly used to provide uniform light without glare.
1.3 chandelier structure
The chandelier uses a pole, chain or tube to hang the lamp on the ceiling for overall illumination. It has direct, indirect, downward illumination and astigmatism.
Most chandeliers have a lampshade, which is made of metal, glass, plastic or wood. The size of the chandelier and the number of lamps are related to the size of the room. However, many chandeliers have already used LED light sources, which can be intelligently remotely dimmed, or even partially lit. The chandelier is generally 500~1000 mm from the ceiling, and the center of the light source is 750 mm from the ceiling. It can also be high or low depending on the specific needs. The lowest point of installation of the chandelier should be no less than 2.2 m from the ground.
There are many kinds of chandeliers. Commonly used are European candlestick chandeliers, Chinese chandeliers, crystal chandeliers, parchment chandeliers, fashion chandeliers, cone-shaped garlands, pointed hoods, beam hoods, five-prong chandeliers, magnolia hoods. Lanterns, olive chandeliers, etc. Here are a few common chandeliers:

Many chandeliers are now designed in this style, but the candle is changed to a light bulb, but the light bulb and lamp holder are still like candles and candlesticks.
Second, crystal chandelier
There are several types of crystal lamps: natural crystal cut chandeliers, heavy lead crystal blow molding chandeliers, low lead crystal blow molding chandeliers, crystal glass mid-range chandeliers, crystal glass pendant chandeliers, crystal glass die-casting chandeliers, crystal glass strips Chandeliers, etc.

Among them, the ceiling lamp and the chandelier are the main lamps. Once the style of the main lamp is determined, the auxiliary lamps such as table lamps, floor lamps and wall lamps are arranged, which is very smooth.
