There are many activities in living areas, so the lighting methods should be varied. General lighting, such as chandeliers, recessed lights, and flush-mounted ceiling lights, can be used when several people are gathering. For listening to music or watching television, local lighting such as floor lamps and table lamps can be used. In addition, spotlights can be used for decorative lighting to highlight paintings, potted plants, sculptures, art collections, and other items in the living area.

Bedrooms, like living rooms, serve multiple purposes, so the choice of lighting should also be varied. Soft lighting is required during sleep; wall-mounted bedside lamps or table lamps placed on bedside tables are commonly used. Even and uniform lighting is required when getting dressed or applying makeup. General bedroom lighting fixtures can be used, together with lighting fixtures in front of wardrobes and on dressing tables for local illumination.

Because Chinese people generally attach great importance to the color, aroma, and taste of their dishes when dining, the required illuminance is much brighter than that preferred by Westerners during meals. Downward-facing chandeliers are mainly used, and the light source should preferably not cover an area larger than the dining table. The light should also not shine directly into people's eyes. The brightness and height of the lamp should be adjustable to accommodate changes in the number of diners.
