LED chandeliers with remote control
Modern chandeliers are more like a sophisticated electronic device than a familiar lamp. Appearance may not be much different from the usual devices. But to replace the traditional incandescent bulbs have come long economical LED.
LED chandeliers with remote control are very comfortable and beautiful, and therefore confidently gaining popularity. Using the remote you can adjust the degree of illumination from any corner of the room. But not every model will fit exactly in your apartment. In the article we will figure out what to look for when choosing a modern chandelier, what functionality it should have, and consider the popular models.
Special features
The receiver is built into the chandelier design, which receives signals sent via a transmitter located in the console. These commands control the light. And for this it is not necessary to direct the console directly to the chandelier. You can even control the light from the next room.
Also inside the modern chandelier with a remote control is a transformer that is responsible for the operation of LEDs. Its task is to lower the mains voltage and extend the service life of the diodes. The base of the structure fits tightly to the ceiling and hides all internal elements and wires.
The main advantage of LEDs from ordinary light bulbs becomes noticeable when you first turn on the light. The brightness of the diodes is much higher than the glow of conventional lamps.
In addition, a chandelier with LEDs allows you to save electricity and, accordingly, to pay smaller bills. And such devices can be used for basic, decorative, accent or local lighting.
LED lamp is safe for human, and unlike fluorescent does not contain harmful mercury vapors.In addition, the chandelier with diodes does not heat up during operation and therefore can be used in rooms where there are stretch ceilings and similar coatings that are afraid of high temperatures. LEDs can even be directed to the surface of the web.
Each home chandelier is unique, has several modes of operation, lighting, the ability to adjust the brightness, several shades to change color, light music, etc. The console has several buttons, each of which is responsible for a specific operating mode.
Some models of ceiling LED chandeliers have a timer with which you can adjust the settings for turning on and off the light. Such a device is suitable for families with children when the child is sleeping in a separate room and is afraid to fall asleep without light.
The process of mounting an LED chandelier with a remote control is not much different from installing an ordinary chandelier. As a rule, the central part of the room is chosen to accommodate the ceiling chandelier. All models of chandeliers are divided into two types: built-in and overhead. Lamps are mounted on a special hook or with dowels.
Embedded models have a bezel that must be installed in the ceiling surface. For this, a special hole is made.Thus, the surface of the lamp is flush with the ceiling. But often these chandeliers are mounted in the usual way, because the extra rim 2 centimeters high is not out of the general picture.
Despite the high cost compared with incandescent bulbs, the diode chandelier has a more attractive appearance. Therefore, when choosing a lighting system for an apartment, home or office, decide what is more important to you: design, price or economy.
Species
LED chandeliers can be different, but basically, all models differ only in external data and additional functions.
Before buying a chandelier you need to pay attention to some nuances:
- The size of the ceiling chandelier is very important. Before buying you need to be sure that this model will be appropriate in this room. A large chandelier in a small living room will be absolutely out of place.
- Ceiling chandelier for suspended ceilings can act as a main source of light or can be supplemented with spotlights. This combination looks appropriate, but not with all models. If you plan to organize lighting with several types of lamps, choose a non-bulky chandelier without long elements.
- The purpose of the room is also an important point, for example, the musical chandelier will be out of place in the hallway.
- Modern backlit models can work without a main light. The lights can turn on and off the color effects of different shades: blue, yellow, green, red, purple, etc. The color-changing chandelier creates a festive mood and can be completed with a column and a USB flash drive with your favorite compositions for musical accompaniment. Depending on your wishes, you can change the lighting in the room, smoothly alternate colors or achieve a good combination of light accompaniment and music. With light music, the lighting and intensity in the room will vary depending on the tune.
- Modern lighting fixtures already have a dimmer built in. This functionality allows you to adjust the brightness of the light - mute or illuminate the room as much as possible. Lamps with a built-in dimmer - this is a great choice for a bedroom or children's room.
- The most common LED-systems have from 2 to 4 modes of operation: small lighting (at the same time half of different light bulbs work in two versions), turning on all light bulbs and switching off.
- You can control any chandelier with the help of a conventional switch. It is better to immediately take care of connecting the two-key product. And it is important to remember that it is possible to control with the help of the remote control only when the switch is in the on mode.
