Wall and ceiling lights

Today, the elements of apartment lighting, in addition to its main function, play the role of another important decorative component of the design of the room. Not surprisingly, there are so many different types of lamps, among which wall-ceiling devices have become especially popular. Such models of lamps have many advantages, among which both functional convenienceso and big choice in terms of style, suitable for any interior of a modern apartment.

Ceiling and wall lamps, first of all, attract attention by mounting and structure. Usually such models consist of a plafond, a cartridge, a main holder, a decorative lining, sometimes a switch is also included in the kit, and more modern models can be equipped with motion or sound sensors. Ceiling lamps can be of two types of fastening: suspended and recessed. The first version looks more like a chandelier familiar to many, as it is suspended from the ceiling with the help of a fixing base on a special chain. The built-in version is more reliable and simple, since it is attached directly to the ceiling and can also be fixed on the wall.

Whichever model you choose, you should immediately note the features and advantages of this version of the lamps:

• Such lamps have a much larger selection of material for the manufacture of ceiling lamps. As a result, such lighting elements offer a much larger choice in terms of design and decoration, since not only metal and glass can be used in their creation, but also wood, fabric, ceramics and much more;
• Very large variation of sizes. Unlike the same chandeliers, wall and ceiling lamps can be of completely different shapes and sizes;
• Installation is possible in all types of rooms, for example, in the same bathroom, where a simple chandelier will not only be inappropriate, but will also quickly become unusable;
• The mounting device is better and more reliable;

• Much more options in terms of choosing the type and location of the installation;
• There is a diffuse lighting option. Thanks to him, the light does not hurt the eyes, because it does not focus in one place. At the same time, the power of such a lamp will be more than enough to illuminate even large rooms and halls;
• Ceiling wall lights are ideal for small spaces, as they allow significant savings and wise use of space;
• Most models support work with almost any type of light bulbs.

As for the less pleasant features of such lighting elements, they are much smaller. Perhaps the most unpleasant is the need to carry an extended cable to the luminaire connecting it to the switch. Part of the problem can be solved by models that turn on automatically when moving inside a room or react to a certain sound. Also, minor problems may occur when replacing the light bulb. Sometimes, to remove the ceiling, you have to almost completely disassemble the design of the lamp, and given the peculiarities of their mounting, it may not always be convenientespecially in a room with high enough ceilings.

Typically, wall and ceiling lamps are divided according to the type of lighting produced:

• Standard household lighting items;
• Decorative lamps and LED, using LED type bulbs;
• Creating a directional flow of light;
• With ambient lighting;
• Direct light;
• Reflected light;

Of course, such a classification is far from complete. We should also mention some more modern versions of lamps. For example, so-called eco-lamps are very popular. Usually they are made of natural materials, for example, wood, and as a lighting element they use LED bulbs that consume much less electricity.

Also, a lot of positive feedback models receive wall lights with motion sensor. Quite often they are installed to illuminate the area in front of home or in the hallway. These lamps are great suitable for energy savingIn addition, they do not require a switch to the switch, since they operate fully automatically. There are more modern and technological versions of luminaires with a remote control that turns the lighting on and off, adjusts its brightness, activates a motion or sound sensor.

As mentioned above, a variety of shapes and sizes is one of the significant advantages of wall-ceiling types of lamps. Far from the last role in this case is played by the ceiling lamps, which can acquire the most bizarre forms, thereby setting the lamp with the necessary style and quality of lighting. Of course, the classic version are considered round lamps. However, in this case, you have a huge space for experimentation and realization of their design fantasies. For example, a flat fixture built into the ceiling or wall will look good in the bathroom, and it can be both round and rectangular.

There are many design solutions, but most of them are guided by one or another generally accepted style. The following trends are the most popular today:

• Classic lamps that have a simple spherical or round shape. There are also models with certain features of vintage style, for example, in the form of street lamps;
• More modern models in style "high tech" have characteristic smooth outlines and lines. They are characterized by minimalism, ergonomics and, as a rule, additional functionality like sound and motion sensors, remote control capabilities;
• Style modern recently gaining increasing popularity. It is characterized by the absence of any sharp lines and sharp corners. All forms are very smooth and soft, and the lamps may have an unusual branching structure.In a modern style the vintage, classics and modern design innovations are combined.

Due to its simple structure and type of fasteners, wall-to-ceiling fixtures can be made of completely different materials. For example, the most popular are the following options:

• Plain stainless steel, which is also well suited for waterproof models enclosed in an additional silicone case;
• Wood is a favorite material for creating eco-lighting. It always looks beautiful, allows you to get unusual color and design solutions, as well as absolutely safe for health. Wooden lamps look great in any room setting;

• Ceramics;
• Crystal;
• Natural glass. Very often, when creating lamps on the wall or ceiling, especially when it comes to decorative models, multi-colored glass is used;
• Plastic - high-quality plastic is the most affordable and simple material for the lamp body.

The combination of materials allows you to choose almost any suitable for your personal design, the color of the lamp.The simplest option is to purchase a model of multi-colored glass. A white ceramic lamp decorated with colorful patterns can also work well, which will allow combining several shades. Recently, the popularity is also gaining Wenge color that fits perfectly in any classic or modern apartment interior.

When buying a lamp, it is important to pay attention to the following details:

• Immediately determine the type of lighting. A classic household type of lighting is suitable for a large and spacious hall, but for a bathroom or bedroom it is worth looking out for lamps with diffused light or LED lighting;
• Decide on the possibility of installing a switch. If this is inconvenient - try to consider the version of the model with a remote control;
• Always purchase waterproof lamps or a special outdoor option for a bathroom or outdoor lighting;
• Children's rooms can be made not only sufficiently illuminated, but also bright, by purchasing wall lamps from painted ceramics or colored glass;
• Before the final purchase, pay attention to the manufacturer, whose reputation acts as a guarantee of quality.

If you can not decide on the choice of products of a company, then it is best to pay attention to the most popular brands that have proven themselves with many years of experience and quality of manufactured fixtures.

For example, today are popular lamps Vitaluce - a brand whose homeland is Italy. Now Vitaluce products are widely known throughout Europe. Also good quality products differ from Austria from the company. Eglo. Among domestic manufacturers, the brand Novodworsk, which specializes in the production of wall and ceiling lamps in the style of "high tech".
