The moment you enter the door, where will you touch first? I believe that many people will look for the switch in the entrance, and turning on the light first is the first action we take when we go home. If the switch position is not suitable, it is not easy to use, which will greatly affect the life experience.
Today, let's talk about the details and precautions of switch installation, so that you can understand which places are the key points of installing the switch, what problems should be paid attention to when installing the switch, and how to set the switch to be more convenient.
Xiao Ai suggested that when you decorate the house, you should first plan the location of the switches and sockets, so that all the subsequent light source problems can be solved.
These 5 places are the focus of installing switches
1. Entrance
When we say pay attention to the entryway position switch, we don't mean controlling the entryway light, but the living room light. Because the living room light is the most common light in our daily life, the light here is the first to be turned on the moment we enter the door. The lamp in the entrance, it is best to leave the sensor light, whether it is installed under the wall cabinet of the custom cabinet or other places, the sensor light will automatically turn on as soon as the door is pushed open, not only do you not need to find the switch in the dark, but also have a sense of security.
2. Living room
The lights in the living room are often turned on and off, and two switches can be set on the moving line, and bilateral control is adopted, which is more convenient to use. If the main light has a 3-stage light, it can be set as a multi-stage switch, that is, the same switch determines how many lamps are lit according to the number of presses. In addition, if there is a recessed light in the ceiling, you can also do segmented switch control, turn on 2~4 lights at a time, and then turn on it fully if necessary, which is more power-saving.
Little Love Tips:
If there is a TV light in the living room, it is recommended that a TV light switch be installed near the sofa as well. This allows you to control the lights without getting up while sitting on the couch.
3. Bedroom
It is recommended to install a switch at the head of the bed in the bedroom, and of course, there should also be a switch at the entrance door, which can be controlled bilaterally. In this way, before going to bed, you don't have to get up to turn off the lights, especially in winter, you don't have to come out of the warm bed to turn off the lights in the cold, and it is also very convenient for people who are used to reading in bed.
4. Bathroom
Generally, the room switch is installed at the entrance, outside the door or inside the door. However, the switch of the bathroom is recommended to be installed outside the door, because there are wires in the switch panel, and if the door is installed, the bathroom is humid and easy to rust and be electrocuted.
5. Stairs
For owners whose homes are duplexes or villas, it is recommended that you install switches at the top and bottom ends of the stairs, and install them that can be controlled bilaterally. In this way, going up and down the stairs will not be dark, there will always be lights to accompany you, very secure, very convenient, whether upstairs or downstairs can be switched.
Pay attention to these 3 points when installing switches
1. The switch must be installed on the best moving line
What is the best way to move at home? It is from the living room to the dining room, the dining room to the kitchen, the living room to the bathroom, the living room to the bedroom, etc. For example, the switch in the bedroom should not be installed too far from the door, otherwise people will not be able to find the switch when they go in.
2. Pay attention to the position and distance of the switch installation
The place where the switch is installed is best determined according to the height and usage habits of the owner, and the general situation is between 1.2m and 1.4m above the ground, which can basically meet the needs of most owners. In addition, if several switches are to be installed in a row, they must be installed at a uniform height, otherwise it will be visually unsightly.
3. The switch socket must be planned in advance and bought at one time
Switches and sockets are generally installed together, and these must be planned in advance, and you can first record the electrical appliances that are planned to appear in each space, record the quantity, and buy them all at once. In this way, the quality and color of the same batch can be basically guaranteed.
Xiao Ai suggests:
Regarding the installation of the switch, Xiaoai also suggested that you can install a timer switch at the bedside, the timer switch is mainly to predetermine the power-on time, set the time, and it will automatically turn off when the time comes, so that even if you forget to turn it off, you will not worry about wasting electricity.
In addition, there is a dimming speed switch to choose from, with a dimming function switch, switching different color temperatures, will make the atmosphere at home different.
