So, we can conclude that such luminaires do not require additional power, and the installation itself is used without the use of wires. Some models are turned on with the help of a remote control (remote control), and more primitive and compact models are a push-button device (button).
In general, all autonomous light sources operate on finger batteries.
Kinds
Classification of fixtures by type of attachment:
- Suspended. This type of stand-alone lamps allows you to provide sufficient lighting is not worse than a chandelier. Due to the excellent dispersion of light, the devices are able to provide illumination for a sufficiently large area of the room. Therefore, they are often installed in warehouses, in storerooms, inside offices and in ordinary apartments.
- Wall mounted. Such lighting structures are mounted directly on wall surfaces or on the sides of drawers and other furniture. Fixed fixtures or using screws, or the side with a sticker. The most popular are the fixtures with stickies, as they are more mobile and do not damage the surface used. Such light sources are relevant for small rooms, as well as additional lighting.
- Ceiling mount models imply the installation of light emitting structures on the smooth surfaces of various types of ceilings.
- Desktop types LED wireless lamps are installed on a variety of horizontal surfaces, be it a table or bookshelf. The devices provide a high level of luminous flux,which is completely safe for children and adults. Such models of devices are mobile, which allows them to be placed in the necessary places.
However, before buying a luminaire, it is necessary to decide what purpose it will be used for and what type of mounting will be suitable in a particular case.
Dimensions
- Small models They are excellent as an additional light source or will become an original design solution for creating a certain atmosphere of the room. More dimensional models of wireless lamps are good as the main devices of light sources.
- Wireless devices with motion sensor convenient for use on open areas of the territory, on floors at entrances or above the entrance door. This allows you to move freely without bothering to search for a switch.
- In the form of a candle Lamps are used for decoration of a recreation or reading area. In this case, they are placed directly above the chair, sofa or bed. Such models are suitable as a night light.

For a hallway, a classic small model of the device will suffice.
But for a country toilet, which can be on the street or at the far end of the house, it is reasonable to install a lamp with a motion sensor.Such installations are the most economical and convenient to use. This allows you to fully automate the inclusion of light in a certain area that falls within the range of motion of the motion sensor.
It should be noted that stand-alone lamps in combination with motion sensors require additional settings. Due to this, the number of false positives will be reduced to a minimum.
Emergency models of wireless lighting devices turn on automatically. The sensor is triggered in case of an unexpected cessation of electricity supply in the room. The LED lamp itself is powered by rechargeable batteries or conventional finger batteries. This type of lamps are portable type and stationary.
In general, emergency lighting devices have the ability to work from the electrical network. In this case, lamps are used in places of large crowds of people (offices, shopping centers, etc.) as exit signs. The models themselves have the ability to install on ceiling, wall and floor surfaces.
How to choose?
Lamps on batteries should also be selected depending on the technical characteristics:
- Dimensions of the device. The degree of illumination of the territory or premises depends on this parameter. When using the device as a flashlight, preference should be given to small models or lanterns in the form of strips.
- Power level The degree of brightness of the illuminant directly depends on this. Power parameters of luminaires range from 1300 to 2300 lumens.
- Light intensity affects the degree of brightness and power autonomous device lighting.
- Scattering ability.
- Type of LEDs used in luminaires. Their immediate difference lies in the level of light emission.
- A variety of used power sources. The battery life depends on the model of the battery.
- Protection against dust and humidity. This parameter must be considered when choosing a device for the street or rooms with high humidity.
- Modes of operation of the device. Manufacturers produce models with uniform light emission, flickering and with the ability to control the degree of brightness.
For the home as the main source of light is preferable to choose the classic models of devices with a switch.
The LED stand-alone lamp with adjustable power is perfect as a night light. Thus, it can also be used as an ordinary lighting fixture or floor lamp.
