MAINLESS LIGHTING DESIGN

In simple terms, mainless lighting refers to the removal of traditional central fixtures such as decorative chandeliers and stylized ceiling lights, and instead opting for functional lighting. It creates lighting environments and various lighting effects by utilizing hidden light sources, achieving an "invisible light source" effect.

Mainless lighting offers soft and distinct lighting, allowing light to freely disperse throughout the space. It exudes a rich sense of life and urban ambiance, making it a more sophisticated and practical lighting design.

Indoor spot and linear lighting systems are commonly used for mainless lighting. The lighting fixtures used typically include recessed spotlights, LED track lights, LED strip lights, surface-mounted LED downlights, LED wall lights, and sometimes complemented by minimalist and stylish decorative lighting fixtures to create the desired lighting ambiance.

It is crucial to separate the main lighting from basic functional lighting and localized accent lighting. When choosing angles, the key principle is to avoid direct glare. Many living rooms, for example, only have ceiling lights or pendant lights as basic lighting, aiming to achieve the necessary lighting angles for activities like walking or watching television using the fewest and most cost-effective fixtures.

Relying solely on a central fixture may be an efficient and cost-effective approach, but it has clear drawbacks. It can make the space appear plain and lacking in ambiance, affecting people's mood within the space.

Therefore, mainless lighting has gradually gained popularity and become mainstream.
