Editor’s note:

In real life, a residential lighting design that illuminates the entire space is too common. In the past, the ceiling was equipped with a large light bulb. Later, the C position was successfully replaced by a chandelier or ceiling lamp.

However, with the improvement of the public aesthetics and the realization of the freedom of the cherries, the way the main lights are illuminated can no longer meet their needs, and the rise of different styles such as Nordic, Simplified and Modern, also allows the lighting of the main lights. One of the popular choices of these years, today, Mr. Xu Qinghui talks with you about the main lights and the things about the track.

What is no main light illumination?

The so-called main lamp design can be understood as the design method of “partition scatter lighting”: a kind of abandoning a single main light source, according to the different needs of space, by the combination of point, line and surface, to the ceiling, wall and ground The three are multi-interface and multi-level lighting.

Main light illumination often uses one or two ceiling lamps and modeling lights to lay the overall lighting foundation, which is to evenly illuminate every corner of the space, while the main light illumination is to install the light on the part we want to illuminate. Achieve lighting purposes in a more precise way.

In the main lighting design, the color and brightness of a lamp set the tone and atmosphere of the entire space. In the follow-up space, the number of objects such as paintings and paintings needs to be set up to focus lighting, which leads to visual clutter. Unsightly, the consequences of less variability.

The space illumination without main lighting has a relatively high degree of freedom, a range of controllability, and the atmosphere and style can be changed accordingly. Therefore, in terms of practicality, no main lamp illumination can be brightened where it needs to be bright, no dark place is not required, and practicality is not worse than main lamp illumination.

Most of the light without main lighting is soft and warm, which is perfect for creating a comfortable and warm atmosphere, not dazzling or black at night.The light source is within the specified range, and the interference to other areas is small. For example, the desk lamp, the bedside lamp, and the wall lamp are all used in a small range, which rarely affects others.

No main lamp illumination has more changes than a single main lamp illumination, and the natural decoration is higher. It can be used to achieve the effect of seeing the light without the light trough, and the light source can also be selected. Lighting. Reasonable light source distribution, light and dark levels can make the whole space appear more connotation, and can also improve the texture of the home, so that the whole home has a sense of high quality.

As we all know, the biggest role of the ceiling is to decorate, to hide part of the pipeline, to make the ceiling look more beautiful, but also to enhance the sense of spatial integration. However, some families do not have a ceiling for various reasons, and a small thread is left in the middle of the ceiling. In this case, can there be a main light effect?

Really, we can take the orbital approach to do the main light effect.

the contemporary track lighting installation method

The final installation form of the track light is determined by the way the track is installed. The way the track is installed is generally surface mounted, wall mounted, embedded (with or without frame) .

There are also several different forms of presentation for embedded installations.

1 There is no border embedding , the track part is hidden in the ceiling, the groove is designed in the ceiling, and the track part is retracted into the groove to be installed.

the contemporary track lighting selected by the borderless embedded track must be low and small, avoiding excessive exposure of the lamp, making the ceiling look messy. At the same time, pay attention to the size of the groove opening to prevent the edge of the groove from blocking the light exit of the lamp.

2 With the frame-mounted rail, compared to the frameless installation, the track is not embedded too deep, flush with the ceiling groove, and there will be no blockage of the light exit of the lamp, so there is not much restriction on the choice of lamps. .

The guide rails can be placed on the side and on the ceiling . However, the requirements for the luminaire are relatively high. Due to the special nature of the installation , in order to achieve the desired ray direction control, it is necessary to select a track lamp with a relatively large adjustable angle to be used together.

Surface mounting, used in many occasions, like the track cloth lamp, is very common in foreign home design, domestically, more used is the brand clothing store, used to highlight the texture of the clothing, Create an upscale store atmosphere.

Of course, this method is also suitable for use in the home, especially those who do not make a ceiling. The guide rails can be hoisted in the air and have the same function as the hoisting chandeliers.

Or drill directly on the ceiling.

But such a contemporary track lighting will definitely lead to untidy space, so what can we do to make a beautiful and simple effect?

Color is recommended to choose black, because the contemporary track lighting are usually the original ceiling, the white track is not only possible to expose the unevenness of the ceiling, but also because of the white color of the track and the white color of the ceiling, the obsessive-compulsive disorder is forced in minutes.

From modeling aspects start , with some of the simple shape of the discharge track in the ceiling, as three bars, I-shaped, with a non-track-shaped …… corresponds to replace the traces.

Switch to the soft track . For example, a soft circle is used to make a circle, a spiral shape, and then nailed to the position of the central main light (such as the picture below, which was taken at the San Jose Hotel in Chongqing, which looks like a giant chandelier, but its ring is Not bright, and the top of the ring is loaded with a lot of small spotlights, which is actually an effect without a main light).

For another example, the following picture is seen by Sun Zong in the circle of friends. If you only put a light in the middle of the room, the space atmosphere is as follows.

However, Sun has replaced it with a spiral soft track , and this soft track is equipped with some spotlights, so that it can achieve the key lighting of several paintings, or illuminate the effect of the desktop, in terms of aesthetics, It looks better, so that you can easily use the softcontemporary track lighting to make the effect without the main light.
