If you have been using the words “chandelier” and “lamp” as synonyms until now, it’s time to change that.
The difference between lighting fixtures was discussed by Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
When people who are professional interior designers say “lamp”, they mean a single-lamp light source.
It is usually used when there is a need to have lighting above the table.
If you need to illuminate the entire room, you should choose a chandelier, that is, a multi-lamp device.
However, several single-lamp lamps will also do.
But this is not the only difference that exists between lamps and light fittings.
In addition to the number of bulbs they have, they also differ in their light fluxes. Chandelier owners typically receive diffused light that illuminates the entire room, while lamps have a directional light flux.
