How to install a wall light in the right way?

Basic principle

The main light is best to feel the light, but not the light source. Light source exposed on the outside will be easy to accumulate dust, but also easily affect the overall other decorations. I personally think that a variety of crystal lamps, chandeliers and some other something like this have very weak practicality. Of course, if your designer has enough taste to master the superb design lights, you can also try it boldly. But all in all, I will recommend some led wall lights instead.

Practical principle

All kinds of cabinets, such as wardrobes, bathroom cabinets, etc. must have an internal lighting system, so the actual use will be much easier, which also illustrates the importance of a good wall lamp. The reason why the led wall lamps are better than the normal wall lamps is that led light has low power consumption, very easy to install, convenient to use, fewer maintenance problems and long durability producing a beautiful up/down light effect on exterior walls.

Decorative principle

A variety of floor lamps, work lights, local lighting, etc., should be with the appropriate style so that the whole home will be harmonious. For example, the modern style of black and white gray main colors should be matched with the modern style wall lamp made of metal material, which is a typical simple style. The modern wall lights which have good quality should be made of aluminum with the advanced spray paint frosted technics.
