The establishment of the light environment should be based on the psychological appeal of the elderly as a starting point to meet the needs of the elderly through appropriate lighting applications. Old people's rooms are generally sunny rooms, which can increase the sense of space in the room, and the elderly will feel more comfortable.
Install footlights in the hallway leading to the bathroom in the bedroom for easy night lighting. The lighting switch is also preferably installed outside the door for ease of use. Some of the easier to overlook are: kitchen counters and pool tops, bathroom vanity mirrors and wash basins.
The elderly generally have poor eyesight and are more diligent at night. Therefore, the indoor light source should be brighter. In the corridors, toilets and kitchens, stairs, bedsides, etc., some lights should be arranged as much as possible, but the light source must not be too complicated. It is not suitable for a lantern with a strong contrast of light and dark or a brightly colored light.
What kind of lighting do older people need? Lighting design advice
1. Improve the level of space lighting
There is a big difference between the brightness of the light source in the elderly and normal people. For example, under normal lighting, the standard value of light intensity in the elderly is 1.5 times that of normal people, and the difference between traffic lighting and late night lighting is larger, reaching 3-5 times. . This requires an increase in the level of illumination, and the use of some brightly diffused materials for walls, ceilings and floors to ensure the brightness of the room.
2, appropriate increase in visual contrast
Appropriate use of accent lighting to improve the safety factor, use the contrast of brightness created by lighting to define the space, make the level clear and clear, and use the color contrast to make the visual information conveyed by the space easy to identify.
3, the visual level is more clear
Avoid the use of complicated decoration, complex and gorgeous light environment is not conducive to the visual recognition of the elderly, increase the visual burden, and simple and clear lighting, so that the spatial level is clear, visual information is clear.
4, to ensure brightness transition and uniformity
Reduce the local space where the brightness changes greatly, and at the same time, set a reasonable transition and buffer space to alleviate the situation that the eyes can not adapt to the light caused by the space conversion process. The dark adaptation ability of the elderly is weakened, and the suddenly darkened space is prone to bring down safety risks such as falls and collisions. The ability of the elderly to adapt is weakened, and the suddenly brightened space is likely to cause physical harm such as dizziness and visual fatigue. 
5, adjustable illumination
Reading and reading newspapers require high illumination, chat and leisure, and the best lighting is soft. The requirements for lighting in different activities are different. Because the visual acuity has decreased and the eye fatigue is more likely to occur, it is better to set the adjustable illumination for the elderly. The luminaire or control panel is one of the easiest ways to improve the comfort of the elderly room.
6, color temperature
The main light color temperature of the elderly room is recommended to use warm lighting, because warm light can give the elderly a feeling of peace and warmth, more suitable for the physical and psychological needs of the elderly, and the lamps that provide reading lighting for the elderly are better to use color temperature. High-quality, non-stroboscopic professional reading lamps, so as not to cause long-term reading damage to the vision of the elderly.
7, avoid glare
Glare is what is commonly referred to as "shaking", which can cause eye irritation and decreased vision. In the case of the elderly's eye decline, it is necessary to avoid the occurrence of glare. Therefore, the direct light is reduced, and the glare-proof lamps and the surface which may cause reflection glare on floors, furniture, and the like are used.
