Erik Wang is one of those youtubers who keeps telling me im poor in different ways

[@ДанилЦебоев]

😂

[@SLVSTRN]

dang, I’m really grateful for you making this video, as a 33 year old dude, I never thought I would be into lighting this much, but since starting to work from home, you realize how important light is around the house (I do night shifts) and is just really important for mood and productivity. Thank you for this video!

[@imericwang]

so glad it's helped! really happy to hear that :)

[@Benswithalens]

“How many lamps do you want?” Eric: “yes”

[@MaggieMagnoli]

had to watch this video twice. Once for the vibes, the second time with my notepad! Our new home gets so dark and gloomy in the winter so I'm looking forward to adding more cozy lighting into the space.

[@hillerycrawford1062]

This was so helpful. Last autumn, I realized I needed a lamp in the living room. I now have five in there. It's addictive.

[@deqod4949]

Bro you have no idea how long I have been waiting to find something like this

[@ZacB13]

I really enjoyed the format of this video, to the point and super useful information I can actually use!

[@imericwang]

so glad you liked it and found it helpful!

[@tigsik3128]

This is my kinda jam. I hate white light. Im moving into my new house and im so excited and buying these small lamps. Thanks for the video very very helpful

[@Beatriz-xd1nv]

Warm white is my favorite colour light, but sometimes I put colourful lights when I want some good party vibes.

[@odalis6177]

Of all the elements of decor, for me lighting is the most important. The old fashioned way, there’s something very calming about waking around and turning your lamps on and off. Not all need to be on all the time. That gadget of on and off is good for when you are sick or people with motor difficulties.

[@oliverrex1768]

walk around with your phone and click the button on the phone when you get to each one

[@ashelynjohnson4841]

Great insight that is simple and to the point! Really enjoyed this more in-depth but quick dive into lighting and your particular lighting info and inspo. Thanks for sharing cause I really needed this!

[@imericwang]

thank you!!

[@amandameunier4157]

Budget..go thrift , layer your lighting, use warm light. Also, use the same bulb in each room. This is often overlooked.

[@cubegnaw7263]

Wow, a comprehensive lighting seminar! 🥰🥰👍👍👍Thank you

[@Pneumo12]

Just moved in a new place and this will definitely help me choosing the right lamps for each of my space. Love your vids !

[@shewhoisaudacious]

I really appreciate your knowledge on interior design. This was an enjoyable video and I learnt a few things that I’ll definitely be keeping in mind when designing my own space. I didn’t even know they had smart plugs along with smart light bulbs so that was a big plus for me to know. I really love the examples you’ve shown of the different style of lamps and the brands you’ve recommended. Your home is beautifully lit and decorated. ❤😊 Thank you. 🙏🏾

[@kkaeha]

one of the best videos youve put out so far. love the new format eric and i cant wait for more 😌

[@imericwang]

ahh thank you!

[@sunjidafatema8887]

Found your channel few weeks ago and I’m so happy for that.. I lovee lovee loveee your videos.I feel so excited every time you upload ever since i found ur channel. Your videos are so relaxing and pleasing. Well done. Proud of you. Take love ❤️

such a good video, would love to see more informational videos! this could be such a nice series!! A Guide to Plants, to Furniture, to Rug Placement, to Color etc etc 🤩

[@imericwang]

that's the plan!

[@daesoolee1083]

My favorite lightning tip video by far.

[@Girafze]

Not exactly related to lighting, but where do you recommend to buy plants, and what types are the easiest to take care of? Also love this style of video and would love to see more content like it!

[@intannette]

A good budget friendly option would be to find online/Facebook groups for plant swaps in your area - some people would be more than willing to offer cuttings for free or at a reasonable cost :)

[@Girafze]

@@intannette tysm!

[@imericwang]

A bunch of places! Some from Costco, a lot from IKEA, some from local nurseries -- pothos plants, money trees, monsteras are all pretty easy to take care of :)

[@Girafze]

@@imericwang Thank you so much :)

[@dyanalayng5507]

Plant grow lights are part of it!

[@tomasrach]

White light is so scary

[@imericwang]

the scariest

[@fanawb]

eek!!!!

[@mpazinambao2938]

Truly. 😂

[@kit99bar]

I have friends that chose 5000k because they thought they were nice “daylight” per the box. House looks like a hospital/clinic waiting room 😂

[@julianneedsblood7091]

Some people swesr by it but I agree. It doesn't make me feel at home as warm lights. Colder lights are brighter thaner warmer lights at same lumens.

[@LindaThao]

Just found your channel and I’m so glad I did! KZbin recommendation really pulled through 💕😭🫶🏼

[@imericwang]

[@jenjen-lr1jm]

Excellent content, great video. Love your comments and knowledge.

[@npage1028]

A good one. Next topic idea, of this type of video, furniture brands. Feel like the quality of mid-range brands (not DWR and not IKEA) are very hard to judge.

[@imericwang]

yeah i'm considering doing a "everything you need to know about furniture brands" type video!

[@luvfaerytales]

really helpful video! I have my eye on the pantella 250 😍

[@imericwang]

thank you! and yes absolutely one of my favorites :)

[@yourconnection9303]

Thanks for the great options you listed. And you have a very nice voice too.👌

[@Mohjo99]

Great video. First time here and I might stay. I loved every lamp and own a few myself. Your collection is stunning. I might go buy the Vp9 tomorrow but I honestly need a Floor lamp more for my reading area

[@michaelmatuszak6319]

That monstera looks like it's thriving well!

[@jekalambert9412]

I live in a relatively small space (1040sf) and I enjoy the nightly ritual of walking around my house turning on various lamps and enjoying the glow and highlights these lamps cast on various objects. If I'm going to be away, I always make sure to turn on some lights so my home looks occupied and I'm welcomed by the soft glow of various lamps when I return. Edit: Lighting is addictive. I buy lamps at thrift shops where I get things like a $450 West Elm lamp for $5 or a solid brass lamp that I bought at the dump in Hawaii for $1. I like quirky, so I'm especially drawn to things like small lamps in the shape of an elephant or with a sea urchin shade. I also have a collection of 3'-4' tall candle holders that hold LED candles. The flickering of the "flames" makes me feel like I'm living in another era.

[@sophieannzogg]

I really enjoyed this video! I need to refine my interior design taste, and curated videos like this are immensely helpful

[@flowersafeheart]

This video is so helpful! Thank you! I especially like that you organized it into different price categories, and used so many visual examples. I'd love your opinions on good Amazon budget-friendly lamps. I still don't know how easeful and affordable and renter-friendly dimmers can be or not so I'll need to research it - or that'd be a great video - that and smart bulbs 101.

[@Angel-wo1xf]

excited every time you upload

[@alicja5602]

I have the same mushroom lamp from &tradition! I love it it’s so cozy🧡

[@tracyhouser]

Loved the video and learned a lot! Thanks, dude! The format was awesome, and I'd be stoked to see more videos like this about other home design topics

[@carlpichette]

First time watching one of your videos, love the mix of entertainment and information + your vibe!

[@MaikHansen]

love this specific video! Can you share a guide to your light bulbs? I saw yu recommending the amazon basic bulbs - can you create a video how the interface on the phone looks like or how to remotely set them on and off

[@christophernydam7755]

Thank you for the information on warm lighting ranges and where to buy some of the these lamps. Can you speak on the recommended wattage? Specifically looking at lamps in the bedroom for reading?

[@user-bc1gw6ce2p]

the new format is great Eric!!!

[@MrSpeekerv1.0]

If you want a nice soft WARM glow from your lamps and lighting, my best tip is to buy coloured shades like orange or yellow that light can pass through made of silk, paper or nylon etc. LED strips are great too and can be put anywhere, most will allow you to change colour and even set slow pulsing glow if you want. There's a lot of white light in this, although not bad in certain areas can be sore on the eyes when you look in their direction.

[@KandyKidraver15]

Quality content its both informative and relaxing.

[@brandoncastillo4212]

Awesome video and great info! I want more!!!

[@newb529]

Would love to see more of these videos!

[@MatthewEncina]

Great video Eric! Cozy space.

[@Obtuse94]

This style video was an instant subscribe, like and bell for me. Thanks!

[@komronaripov2884]

I think you missed out on bulbs with good color rendering index (CRI). Better CRI means better lighting and more natural looking skintone that can greatly affect how your space looks. Some good high CRI bulbs include Philips Ultradefinition and Waveform Lighting

[@headerahelix]

It's a good idea to worry about it in places you're putting on makeup and are checking your outfit looks good, and also when cooking but otherwise most people will never need to ever worry about CRI. It's not a universal measurement across the spectrum of colours bulbs display either, most people aren't going to set their bulbs to the correct colour temperature to get the most accurate CRI to begin with

[@LightsbyXiima]

Great video! Lamps are so important!

[@garfreed]

Terrific style ideas. I like your videos.

[@pkstiever]

I love your style! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@and6987]

Love all the ideas

[@mateomoreno3955]

Look up the lamp called "mantis bs2" definitely one of the best looking lamps in my opinion!

[@MantaRochenHL]

Thank you for this well made video.

[@2010kooljay]

It’s also important to talk about the color grading used when editing lighting videos

[@Mehu____Editing_____Bar]

4ra ke birthday bonus ne toh dil jeet liya, apne din pe special lagta hai

[@filipfilip3]

Could you do a video on outside lighting as well? I feel like most people just pick regular lamps, are there any good alternatives?

[@ProgramistaNaBudowie]

Great video, thank you!

[@gambarusso]

You got good taste. Thank you

[@whatmaddimade1424]

This was so helpful!!!!

[@JamunaJivanadas]

Great video and super helpful thank you!

[@SamuelBonebright]

All my lights support rgb, so when they can not do warm white, I make them orange. Honestly, the orange adds to the vibe.

[@killervanilla3987]

Great video, very helpful!

[@Mango-xs2tv]

this video is very well put together and nice

[@karenzinaich9315]

Well done. I subscribed. Don’t stop. I am inspired 🎉

[@Bruno_2803]

Next Video Idea: Outdoor Space :)

[@jkpfmt]

Been loving my Tala lamps :)

[@sherrylouise9495]

Great video!

[@whatever3041]

I think the best lamps are old school very plain minimalist lamps with wooden legs. For small spaces the more minimal and basic the lamp is the more beautiful your space will look.

[@Nikhilus_yadavus]

[@Darrentime]

Love the video super nice!

I love that coffee table! Where is it from?

great video 😊 i’m moving out soon, so it’s very helpful for when i get my new place!!

[@imericwang]

good luck with the move!

[@chloejade3707]

@@imericwang thank you so much!! (I'm a follower from France!!)

[@ninjabrianbb13]

Hey Eric! I was curious if you are familiar with the brand Kuzco! I was just at a lighting store and learned so much about how the type of light you have in your home can affect your mental health in many different ways and got attached to the design of Kuzco and did some research online and loved a lot of what I found! Curious what you think on the brand

[@yippee1298]

Thanks so much for this video, giving me so many ideas

[@imericwang]

woohoo!

[@lime56]

Can you please link where your furniture? Your home looks awesome!

[@kasey33]

I would add New Works as another premium option.

[@gnolan4281]

Greetings Eric. Thanks for this. Can you provide a word of advice on how to remedy a touch lamp that doesn't respond to the touch as easily as it did when it was new? Sometimes it's downright difficult and I have two of them. Apart from this they're ideal for my needs and have many levels and shades of light along with great flexibility as to height, orientation and angle.

[@Mango-xs2tv]

I was wondering where you got the pants in the video and the shirt aswell? thanks great video like always

[@rrawrlolzzz4726]

I love Flos lamps

[@craigcoble]

Do you wall lamps in the bedroom come in pairs if you purchases them?

[@SomsaiArts]

Was not expecting those lamps to be that expensive 💀

[@1NanaGhana]

Great video! Can you share what song plays through the 2nd chapter of the video (my home lighting tour)?

[@KillerTacos54]

Great video as always

[@SINDBADJr]

I love lamp

[@BolarPear-tz5x]

my hero

[@AutismMeetup]

for dining room do you think 4 spot lights and one pendant light over the dining table will work.?

[@MicheleLee-fe2ob]

Do you have a video on lighting for small homes?

[@wardaanwar9126]

My room is larger and I need a little bright light in warm light I feel very lazy which type of lamp you would recommend? And to spread the light widely should I take upward face lamp or downwards? Thank you!

[@ElijahBerg0011]

6:55 It's kinda funny cause the paper lamp on the top right is called 'Risbyn' which means 'The Rice City'.

[@ElijahBerg0011]

Also fyi Panthella is just pronounced as "Pantella".

[@user07-awubt01]

Does the color of walls influence the color of light? Like how does a 2700 lumen warm white light look in a white room vs one with say cream colored room

[@authenticNL2]

Yes, you may want to compensate depending on your preferences. If you can, an adjustable color temperature source will help. The difference, if I has to guess, 500-750 kelvin.

[@kikiob3628]

Can you do a plant tour?

[@marcarusaviles9020]

Really hepful! One question: is necessary a smart bulb and a smart connector, or only one of them?🧐 Thankss!

[@imericwang]

glad you think so! you only need a smart bulb for most lamps -- the smart plugs are only used for lamps that use non-standard bulbs so a smart bulb would not fit

[@xdSoke]

@@imericwang How do you use a smart plug or smart Plug on the setago JH27?? I bought the lamp, because I thought it looks so cool but now it has a G4 socket and I dont know how to connect it to my smart home :(( Please help!!

[@VegetableFRIES]

What wooden chairs are those at your dining table?!

[@mio0101]

I just want to know how do you clean the paper lamps? How??

[@JianLiu-k4m]

may I know which brand your table next to your Togo? merci 😊

[@TheGhost152]

Good video with nice tips, but I didn't like any of the lamps! I'm starting to think I'm more of a LED strip kind of person lol!

[@Mdot37]

@Eric Wang What type of smart plug you use to control all the lighting ?

[@BororthTim]

How do you get those rise wall lamp in your bedroom to work in US outlet. Seems like they are EU plugs, would love to purchase some but wanted to be prepared.

[@paneujun5067]

any idea which brand yields the best possible result for warm lights, considering with budgeted purchase, the product itself has the best off-white material that Noguchi uses?

[@tirkizs]

Any tips on how to hide the wires for the lamps?
