Lamp and Lighting Feng Shui: Energy Code for Illumination and Wealth

Lighting in feng shui represents yang energy and vitality. Bright lighting can disperse gloom from dark corners, enhancing positive energy throughout space.

Traditional feng shui has the saying "where light shines, wealth energy gathers." Appropriate illumination indeed can play a role in wealth gathering.

But overly strong or glaring lighting actually causes opposite effects—making people restless and anxious, affecting judgment.

Ceiling lights: Even light distribution, suitable for living room and bedroom main lighting. Choose round or square shapes, avoid strange shapes.

Chandeliers: Visual focal point, can elevate space grade. Living room chandeliers are best above coffee table, not directly above people's heads.

Table lamps: Local illumination, suitable for study and bedside. Choose warm-colored light, helpful for reading and rest.

Living room: Suitable for bright main light plus auxiliary floor or table lamps for layering. Wealth position area should be especially bright.

Bedroom: Lighting should be soft and dim, avoid glaring direct light. Use warm-toned lamps to create cozy atmosphere.

Study: Needs sufficiently bright illumination but not too glaring. Table lamp is the best choice for study.

Kitchen and bathroom: These two areas easily accumulate dampness and yin energy—should maintain bright lighting.
