Ruleschoice

It is worth remembering the following rules: in the living room, kitchen and dining room, the lighting level should be at least 200 lux, and 150 lux is enough in the bedroom and children's room. In the hallway, the optimal level of illumination is 100 lux.
- Range of the remote control. If you plan to install a chandelier with a remote control in a standard apartment, then a remote control of any power will do. And in a country house, most likely, more powerful lighting equipment will be required, respectively, and the remote control should be more powerful.
