LED Chandeliers

Not so long ago, interior designers began to use LED chandeliers in the interior design. Such lamps appeared relatively recently, but already managed to gain popularity in the market of lighting devices. You can meet them both in residential premises and in offices.

LED chandeliers are the most economical. This is known to all experts working with electricity. They are used both for home and office. The variety of models allows you to select them for any interior. For example, home chandeliers with diodes can be styled as refined crystal lamps from the 18th and 19th centuries, while office chandeliers fit well into minimalism.

Sometimes LED-lamps are equipped with motion sensors. They turn on as soon as someone enters the room, and turn off when no one is in the room. Such a system significantly saves electricity.Especially it is loved by those who forget to turn off the light when they leave the house. For an apartment this option is ideal.

For them, the number of on-offs does not matter, as for some other lamps, but they are “afraid” of overheating, although they themselves practically do not heat up. Because of this, manufacturers specifically make large gaps between the diodes so that they do not heat up.

It is better to choose a diode lamps suite, as they are made of special materials that exclude heating - special plastic and metal, which cool them.

Such lamps can be divided by place of attachment:

• Ceiling. As the name implies - such devices are mounted on the ceiling. They are used in rooms with low ceilings. They look like they are stuck directly to the surface. Usually this type of fixtures is very simple in form - they are round or square devices. This is due to the fact that the excesses in the decoration can interfere with people who are in the room, because the ceiling is low.
• Suspended. These devices are more diverse than previous ones. They are suitable for high ceilings, hang on fixtures, can have all sorts of decorations, lampshades, suspensions.

There are options from the LED strip. Such models are often equipped with motion sensors. When the cabinet opens, the backlight turns on. For indoor lighting dark cabinet - ideal.

Most often, such devices are overhead, with a strip for gluing. You do not have to screw the structure, thereby ruining the cabinet walls. Some prefer to buy A new generation of luminaire, based on a remote controlled system. Lying on the couch by the TV, you can turn on or off the light - without getting up.

There are options with multi-colored diodes inside. This is very convenient if the owner of the room likes to turn on a different light (by mood). It may just be white, green, yellow, blue. It is regulated either by using the same remote control or a switch. Such switches have many buttons.

Many people would like to have home author lamps, which are made by a professional designer especially for their home. However, this is not available to everyone. Unusual designer lamps in a single copy are very expensive, but (unlike lamps for incandescent or energy-saving lamps), modern LED-chandeliers are very diverse. You can purchase options that are significantly cheaper than those that are made with an individual design.

Speaker options are good for cafes and other entertainment., although installing them at home is also a good idea, especially for home parties. The materials of which lamps are made, allow you to make them with rings, in the form of a ball, a triangle. It can be chaotic lines or smooth. Having chosen LED lamps, it is possible to solve the problem with illumination for a long time and exactly as you want, the choice is great.

You can select not only a variety of styles, models. There are a variety of sizes and shapes of fixtures. Most often you can see the lamps in the form of a tablet.They are small, compact, do not take up much space and are not striking. However, such options do not look good in every interior, so manufacturers produce other devices.

The rectangular shape is perfect for style hi-tech or minimalism. It will be especially beautiful if the form repeats on the walls. Then get an interesting game of form and light.

The lamp similar to the pancake will fit well in modern style. Sometimes designers offer interesting solutions by adding appliques or drawings to ordinary factory ceilings, converting, for example, large semicircular lamps to the Moon - using satellite relief patterns on thin paper. This paper can be glued to the ceiling, and it will pass light.

Very beautiful options are obtained from the LED strip and a system of mirrors. Such lamps can be hung both on the ceiling and on the wall. The resulting light corridor fascinates and attracts. This can be done on their own - with sufficient knowledge of electricians, some prefer to order from the master.

There are practically no such options on sale, it will take a long time to look.Usually, the attached tables are made according to this principle, but also as a lamp such a design can be an excellent solution for a modern youth interior.

Such lamps can boast a variety of materials from which they are made. In the shops you can find crystal, acrylic, metal, paper models. The most popular devices are made of special plastic or glass. Such models are cheaper than crystal ones. From these materials it is much easier to do something unusual.

Sometimes manufacturers combine materials to achieve interesting effects. Metal ceiling give a fun game of glare. Plastic options are very practical and easy to clean. Paper is not used very often, but their only negative - fragility, as they are easy to damage during careless use (for example, splashing water).

The combination of LEDs and metal - one of the most important in recent times. This is facilitated by the fact that the special metal perfectly cools the diode, preventing it from overheating and failing ahead of time.

Designers produce lamps of different colors and shapes, so that they are ideally suited to any interior. Recently, bright options for young owners of modern apartments are gaining popularity. Sometimes they want to decorate their rooms in the style of graffiti, which looks very unusual and modern.

When choosing you need to pay attention to what color the lamp gives through the ceiling, how this light will be combined with the overall design of the room. Sometimes due to the color of the ceiling light changes, and sometimes the turned on lamp looks much worse than the turned off. But his main task is to shine, therefore you need to carefully choose a combination and evaluate it indoors.

If you want something unusual, but there is no desire to spend significant amounts of money on it, you can decorate the ceiling lamps yourself. To do this, you will need to take only high-quality materials and not touch the LEDs themselves, so as not to disrupt their work.

Lamps are made in a variety of styles - there is a modern, and classic, and hi-tech. They are used in lush decoration. Such devices are often used to recreate the interior in the Empire or Baroque style.If the owner of the apartment is a fan of romanticism and art deco, then he can choose floral and other botanical motifs.

For any style, you can choose something that will be convenient to use and will fit beautifully in the interior. Tiny diodes (up to several millimeters in size) can replace a low-power incandescent lamp - and at the same time take up much less space. That is why they can be in a variety of designs. You can take small or large lampshades, such a product will be a bright accent in the room.

Tiny fixtures can be placed almost anywhere, having made of them an excellent light composition. The second one will not be anyone, so this option is suitable for those who are used to stand out. The design can be placed both on the ceiling and on the wall. It can be the main source of light in the room or only additional.

Since these lights are at the peak of popularity, many are involved in their production. Usually these are producers from Italy, Germany, Denmark, and China.

It is quite difficult to distinguish quality from low-quality devices, but it is an erroneous way to rely on price alone. As a rule, Chinese devices are the cheapest, but among them there are excellent options. Although usually they are collected from defective LEDs that stop working very quickly:

• The market offers a wide range of products from the manufacturer. Lightstar. Italian lamps are distinguished by the fact that they are manufactured using modern technology. In the collection there are very unusual options. The bizarre shape of models from the Artglass series will not leave indifferent fans of non-standard solutions. Another difference is the original color scheme. Many devices from this manufacturer can rightly be equated to works of art.

• Other Italian company Arte lamp actively developing LED-technology. Some models of floor lamps are at the peak of popularity because of their appearance and high quality. Many buyers prefer chandeliers of the Barista series, which captivate with the shape of the ceiling: it repeats the shape of a glass. They are often used in kitchens and cafes.
• German chandeliers from Chiaro refer to the premium class.Designers work in all styles: classic, art deco, hi-tech, modern, country. They use almost all materials that can be used for such products. It sounds unbelievable, but the devices are porcelain, fabric, precious stones, art glass, mosaics. In total, the manufacturer has more than a hundred collections, each of which has more than 600 models. It is possible to distinguish the famous classic lamp. In the series "Adelard" and "Breeze" there are elegant chrome lamps decorated with crystal pendants. They are very often bought by customers with good taste.

• Another interesting example is the company. Globo from Austria. Its products are available in 50 countries of the world, it is very popular. The main feature is the low price with excellent quality. Buyers love the fact that the lamps are multifunctional, beautiful, easy to maintain. In the assortment there are both classic models and modern ones. You can purchase a chandelier with crystal details or metal - in the high-tech style.
• Trendsetter Eglo - an international company whose plants are located in Austria (there is also the head office), Hungary, India and China. This is a very famous company. Every year, designers update the range by a third. If you like something, you need to purchase it as soon as possible.

The buyers who dealt with the manufacturers Chiaro, Arte Lamp and Lightstar considered in the article are very pleased with the products. They note that the lamps serve for a very long time, without failures. Repair is not required. The appearance of the ceiling is very neat, you can choose the right from almost any series.

More rarely, you can find positive reviews about Chinese manufacturers. Among these models are often found defective, which fail very quickly - much faster than expected. This may be due to the fact that the manufacturer has installed an already used diode or one that has a factory defect.

It is better to choose more expensive, European models. A pretty good option is Russian manufacturers. Their lineup is significantly less than that of German, Italian, Austrian manufacturers, but the quality is often not inferior.The reject rate is much lower than that of Chinese manufacturers.

Buyers believe that checking the documentation and the box in which the lamp is packed is the key to acquiring quality products. Afraid to ask the seller to help with this is not worth it.

There are also negative customer reviews. Some believe that LED lamps are very difficult to operate. For example, replacing a blown bulb can be compared with the work of a neurosurgeon.

The light bulb has a special spring that needs to be clamped to get the lamp into the groove. One awkward movement - and the installation work will have to start again. This is complicated by the fact that you need to keep your hands above your head, because the lamp is installed on the ceiling. However, not all chandeliers require the replacement of light bulbs - some have to be replaced completely after the lamp fails. It depends on the design.

When choosing a new light fixture, you need to pay attention to a few important points:

• That is how bright the lamp shines. Their main feature is that the point of the glow, so the angle of light is small. One small light bulb does not light the room, you need a set. Another option is to use such lamps for local lighting.
• What is the size of the radiator, which is in the lamp. Here you have to choose: the larger it is, the longer and more smoothly it works, but at the same time it is large. In small lamps, this option is not used.
• Power supply. It must be of high quality. Unscrupulous manufacturers sometimes put low-power to save space. This, of course, saves money, but the quality and durability of the lamp is significantly reduced.

• The size of the cap. LED lamps are available with all types of base, so before buying you need to clarify what is required: E14, E27, GU10, GU5.
• The temperature that light has. It can be warm or cold. The first lamp - in the range from 2,700 to 3,500 K, the second - from 5,000 K and above. Best of all, people perceive a temperature of 4,000–4,200 K, and a cold one can be annoying.
• The color of light. Modern LED lamps are made in all colors: purple, blue, red, green. It remains only to choose to taste.
• The angle that the light beam has.For a medium-sized room, an angle of sixty degrees will do. If the room is very large, you will need an angle of about 120 degrees, but the light will be dim, diffused.

• Enclosure protection. This is a very important factor, especially for residential premises. This indicator may vary depending on which room the luminaire is in. For example, in the toilet, bathroom, shower, basin, this figure should be more than IP44, in order to be protected from water ingress into the structure.
• Warranty period. With this, everything is very clear: the longer it is, the more likely it is that the products of the highest quality will last for a very long time.

All these criteria are indicated on the product packaging. If they do not exist at all or there is only a small part, then there is a great risk that this is a fake. In this case, it is worth picking up something else. Never hesitate to ask the seller the necessary documents to ensure the quality of products.

When making a purchase, people often pay attention to a number of positive qualities of these lighting devices:

• Save energy up to 10 times - compared with incandescent lamps, and 3 times - compared with energy-saving devices.
• There are models with remote control (using the remote).
• Do not heat up, therefore - more fireproof (compared to others).
• Ecologically safe.
• Very long life. Bulbs can work up to fifty thousand hours, and chandeliers - up to 11 years (if the light is continuous).
• Have a modern design. You can pick up both fancy and concise form.
• When lighting there is no flicker.

However, it does not do without negative qualities:

1. If a light bulb has burned out, then the whole lamp will have to be changed.
2. When one LED burns out, all the lamps stop shining. Such is the design feature.
3. High price.

Such lamps are well suited for any room: bedroom, hall, living room. For each room you can pick up something interesting. For bedrooms, a great option would be fixtures with smooth lines and dim lights. For the living room or hall, you can take crystal options or massive chandeliers in a modern style.

For children, you need to take non-frivolous tablet luminaires or flat devices that are difficult to reach. They are difficult to accidentally knock the ball, a toy. For the design of the kitchen fit LED strip, the composition of several small lamps. In the bathroom is to choose practical waterproof options.
