What materials are best for use in the kitchen?

Forged kitchen pendants can be rubbed with a special mastic, wooden ones can be varnished, and fabric lampshades can be treated with water-repellent agents. Paper can be a problem because frequent washing will destroy the attractive appearance of the ceiling. In addition, the lamps must be protected from moisture and grease splashes, otherwise they will have to be changed frequently.
Ease of operation and maintenance
An important point when choosing, since the lamp will have to be washed and the lamps in it changed from time to time. Therefore, for those who do not have electrician talents, models in which the light source can be easily changed will be acceptable.
The material is extremely important. The chandelier should not only resist grease and moisture well, but also be easy to clean. This is especially true for lamps installed on suspended ceilings. Any dirt is reflected from the glossy surface and becomes obvious.
Light source options and lamp replacement
This point is extremely important to take into account. Spending depends on how durable and economical the lamp is Money. If the chandelier has lampshades that are convenient and accessible for replacing lamps, this makes maintenance easier and allows you to quickly and safely replace a burnt-out element.
It is important to decide which lamp is most suitable in the kitchen. Exist different kinds lamps, which one to choose depends on the chandelier, the base and your own preferences:

- LED and fluorescent the options also use little electricity and have a visually acceptable color range. They are adapted to different models lamps and can easily be used in the kitchen.
- Incandescent lamps are still often used today. The advantage is the price, the disadvantages are low durability, low resource indicators, so they often have to be changed in the kitchen.
Comfortable light brightness
Functional balance is important: the light needs to be neither dim nor overly bright. What options are needed for different decorations? For rooms with dark finishes, stronger lighting is important, and light ones glossy surfaces have good reflectivity, so weaker options will be sufficient. The power also depends on the type of lampshade: open lampshades with directional light create a more powerful luminous flux than dark or colored closed lampshades.
Models with several lampshades that can be switched on in different variations, or with a dimming function (changing the light intensity) help organize various functional lighting: bright for cooking and comfortable, dim for coziness.
It's easy to calculate required amount lamps in a chandelier for the kitchen, if we take into account the average luminous intensity of different types of lamps: LED - 2 or 3 W/sq.m.; incandescent lamps – 15 or 20 W/sq.m.; fluorescent from 3 to 5 W/sq.m. Accordingly, for a kitchen of, for example, 8 m², you need a 100 W incandescent lamp.
