The only difference is in the system of switching off and on the lighting - it is carried out using the remote control. The range of the control panel - 25-100 meters. Signals in this case, the device is mounted in the lamp itself. The technology does not affect the appearance and is designed for ease of use.

• horizontal;

• vertical.

In a room up to 3 meters high it would be appropriate to use a horizontal chandelier, the diameter of which does not exceed one meter. They are presented in the form of a multi-track system or differ in design solutions. The lamps in the chandelier are evenly distributed and high-quality illuminate the entire space.

Accordingly, in a room with a height of more than 3 meters, a vertical illumination in diameter from 30 to 60 cm with a height of no more than a meter will look harmonious. These lamps are equipped with foot and designed to illuminate the room as much as possible.

The price category of chandeliers under the tensioning fabric directly depends on the form, materials of their execution.A great choice for the fastidious stretch ceiling will be lamps with horns pointing down, the same goes for the shades.

These chandeliers are a great option for lighting theaters, hotels, ancient castles, museums. The classic chandelier with candles is perfectly combined with the matte canvas on the ceiling, and with the gloss on the contrary, it will look silly. While the hemisphere chandelier will look great in tandem with a glossy canvas. Reflecting in gloss, the hemisphere will visually increase the space.

The top of the chandelier has no less value than its lower part. In the upper part there should be no wires and protruding parts, because they will be reflected in a glossy surface and spoil the overall look in the room. Stop on the lamp with a large bowl, which is able to hide all the errors of installation.

A device without reflectors is a poor choice for an interior with a stretch canvas. on the ceiling. If there is no ceiling or reflector, then soon on the ceiling spots and traces of deformation from exposure to high temperatures will appear. Black spots appear in the process of burning dust, which accumulates on the surface of the lamps. After this the same dust melts into the ceiling and spoils the whole picture in the interior.

Therefore, the larger the size of the chandelier, the greater the number of lamps in it.

It is very important to choose the size of the chandelier, in which it will fit well into the overall composition of your room. There are several formulas for determining the appropriate size. Dividing the height of the room into four parts, it is easy to get the size of the chandelier, which fits perfectly into our space. The size of the lamps can be divided into 3 categories:

• Large. We are talking about chandeliers that are too large to be installed in apartments with low ceilings. In the modern world, chandeliers of this size are used not only as the main lighting element, but also as a decoration item.
• Little ones. The chandelier is the standard size for most rooms, namely, from 30 to 60 centimeters in diameter.
• Mini chandeliers called lamps, the diameter of which does not exceed 30 centimeters.

Depending on the type of chandeliers, they are mounted on the tension fabric in different ways:

This type of attachment is very simple and convenient. First you need to find the center of the ceiling and determine the level of the canvas in this place. In the center of the ceiling is mounted wooden beam. It will be an error to attach a timber below its level. The quality of the installation will depend on how accurately the lumber is attached and the wiring is removed. Before you stretch the ceiling, check the wiring, as after the completion of the work it will be impossible to replace it without damaging the canvas. Such strips are bought separately, height adjustment is built in some of them.

Used to fix massive chandeliers that are in the shape of a plate or flattened polygon. In all cases, it is a flat base that tightly attaches to the tension cover. The mount looks like four mounting plates.They are attached to the ceiling and descend, have ends curved parallel to the ceiling. The chandelier will be mounted on a plywood plate that does not conduct heat like metal plates.

Perhaps one of the most common methods of fastening is a mounting hook. The reliability of this method has been tested over the years. In addition to the anchor hook, you do not need anything. It is customary to adjust the height of the hook in the concrete ceiling, taking into account the adjusting “glass” of the chandelier. If there is no hook for fastening in the ceiling, then it is not difficult to install it yourself. For a secure attachment, use voids in concrete. In the empty channel lay a rod to which the hook is further attached.

The hook is perfect for massive ceiling chandeliers and with an impressive appearance. Massive chandeliers, in turn, have more light sources compared to standard-sized lighting fixtures.

By means of the perforator, they make holes, and studs are driven into them until it stops. After that, the bolts are screwed in and the collets are pulled apart.By doing this simple procedure, you will receive a powerful foundation for any of the known fixtures. For example, to install the hook will be just one mounting stud.

For the convenient mounting of luminaires to the stretch ceiling, another type of mounting has been developed, namely the platform. Its diameter is selected, given the size of the lighting. This platform is designed to significantly reduce the time spent on installation.
