Ceiling overhead LED lights

 Ceiling overhead LED lights

In the modern world, LED lamps are found at every turn. No office, industrial or public institution can do without them. They are used for lighting home interior. This type of consignment lighting is easy to install on the ceiling instead of the usual chandeliers in the apartment.

Special features

Knowing the features of the structure of the diode lamp, it is easy to understand its advantages over other lighting devices. An ordinary ceiling invoice LED lamp is a light bulb that includes from one to several LEDs. They are connected to the power supply and are links of one circuit.

The more diodes built into the lamp, the more powerful and brighter the lamp works.

The design of a modern LED lamp includes a mandatory element called a radiator. It removes heat generated by the lamp itself. Radiators in LED lamps are of different types. Also for the correct operation of the lamp (heat transfer from the radiator to the lamp) thermal paste is used. It prevents the device from overheating.

radiator

It is important to periodically replace the thermal paste. Not observing this rule, the lamp will simply blow.

A 220 watt voltage used in a conventional electrical network is not suitable for ceiling lighting diodes. So that they can be used in everyday life, the specialists “put” the lamp with special drivers that support the current level necessary for the diode. During its operation, the drivers regulate the flow of current, taking into account all the parameters of the lamp. Voltage converters of conventional configuration in this case are not suitable.

Engineers developing models of LEDs on the ceiling are sure to design an individual housing for these lamps. The feature of the case increases the efficiency of the diodes, increasing their reliability and functionality.

Based on the foregoing, the positive qualities of LED lamps, which are different from other lighting devices, become apparent.

The positive qualities of the device include:

  • Low power consumption - at the expense of what is happening saving the budget of the consumer;
  • Environmentally friendly - use in the manufacture of pure natural materials;
  • Lack of effect of blinking - thanks to this quality, the human eyes do not get tired while working under the lamp;
  • Durability - the life of such lamps is several times longer than ordinary incandescent lamps.

Species

LED lamps vary in:

  • Place of attachment. Selecting the lamp for the room, it is necessary to consider the feature of the place where the device will be mounted. For example, wall lamps are not suitable for the floor, and street furniture is not suitable for furniture.
  • Type of construction. They differ among themselves not only the type of attachment to the ceiling, but additional features.

Given the wide variety of types, shapes and colors of LED lamps, choosing the right lighting device for the design of the room will not be an enormous effort.

  • Spots Considering these lamps, it is impossible not to highlight their main feature - the ability to rotate. Unlike other types of luminaires, they have a special bracket, through which the change of position occurs. Swivel spots have become an integral part of the interior design of the dining room and kitchen.
  • The design of linear lighting fixtures implies the presence of a light source in them. led strip.
  • Some models are equipped with a dimmer - dimmer and motion sensor. These possibilities of lighting engineering increase its consumer demand.

Forms and sizes

The choice of shapes and sizes of LED-lamps in supermarkets is truly amazing. Modern technologies allow to produce lighting devices of almost any form.

Ceilings are offered for choice to the consumer:

  • Round;
  • Square;
  • Oval;
  • Asymmetrical;
  • Rectangular;
  • Cylindrical;
  • In the form of glasses;
  • Flat and so on

The dimensions of the fixtures themselves vary:

  • Round models with a small diameter of 50 mm;
  • Square from 170x200 mm.

In turn, the lamps in the lamps also come in different shapes and sizes. On sale you can see the lamp-pears, in the form of torpedoes, candles (several options), ellipsoidal, spherical, tubes, cylinders, and so on. If the lamps are chosen correctly, then the necessary areas in the interior will be favorably highlighted and highlighted in the room.

Fixtures of square shapes are most often used for interior design in modern style. Such devices can both decorate the room and spoil the overall impression of it. Therefore, you must be very careful in their choice. It is imperative to take into account the fact that small models are used in rooms with a low ceiling, and large overall copies are fixed in rooms with a high one.

Small round pivoting spots are most often used to illuminate the desktop in the kitchen, hallway, to illuminate shop windows, etc. The flat lighting equipment of a flat configuration is mainly located on the ceilings. Such lamps are small and convenient because they do not cause difficulties when mounted. Their advantage is that they are closed with comfortable shades.They are suitable for the bathroom, hallway, corridor and other passage rooms.

Oblong or long lamps are used to visually expand the space in the room. With their help it is easy to highlight libraries, shelves with books and photos.

Color solutions

The positive properties of the overhead LED devices include their ability to emit light in such values ​​as 1800-6600 degrees Kelvin, which allows the lamps to produce light of any color palette. To create a romantic interior of the bedroom, lighting a “candle light” or a warm white shade of dawn is suitable. Neutral moonlight is used to illuminate the hall, living room, and highlight the tables. If a person has to work or study, it is advisable to use white cold light.

Particularly stand out from the general inclination lamps with black and brown body color. They help to create a mysterious atmosphere and emphasize the sophistication of the interior. Thanks to such a large selection of colors, it is easy to arrange a festive mood. Especially such a selection will be relevant on the eve of holidays, such as the New Year.

Installation

In order for the lamp to work properly and efficiently, before installing it, all its components are checked, and first of all - the presence of a radiator responsible for heat dissipation from the diode. The presence of the power supply is important. Thanks to him, the lamp burns without interruption. If it turns out to be of poor quality, then the lamp may flicker when burning. And this effect will have a negative effect on vision. The power supply unit contains a closed type transformer.It was he who most often undergoes breakdowns, but due to its small size it is easily repaired.

There are several schemes for connecting LEDs in the lamp:

  • Consecutive. It is used by almost all industrial plants and is the most economical option. It has its drawbacks, namely, it has a high vulnerability. If at least one LED fails, the whole lamp will stop working.
  • Parallel. In this scheme, a resistor is connected to each light bulb in order to protect the device from current breakdown. A positive feature of this scheme is that when a single element of a chain burns out, the entire lighting fixture continues to work, but not at full power. The disadvantage of this type of connection is the high cost of all the constituent elements.
  • Mixed Connecting a group of LEDs runs parallel to each other.

Mounting is a step-by-step process. Before you begin, you need to check the availability of all the components of the lamp. Most often, the kit with the lighting device includes its mountings. For work, first turn off the electricity at the meter.A hole for the metal plate is drilled in the fixing point of the device. By carefully fixing the plate (without affecting the wiring) using dowels (self-tapping screws), you can connect the luminaire terminal blocks to the supply wires

After that, you can safely install the body of the device on the plate and attach it with screws. Then on the body wear transparent components. At the end of the installation, you must turn on the electricity and check the operation of the lamp.

Examples in the interior

In order to properly and profitably place the lighting in a house or apartment, designers recommend to adhere to the following rules:

  • For bedroom, living room, nursery and other recreation areas will suit ceiling models of circular shapes with frosted glass. They scatter the light throughout the room and create a cozy romantic atmosphere. In this light, the eyes will not get tired. Lamps are placed behind the curtains, giving the room a mysterious atmosphere of an eastern boudoir.
  • For kitchen, dining room LED spots are suitable as a backlight. For example, to illuminate the working area of ​​cooking. For this purpose, devices with transparent glass are mounted on the ceiling.Large chandeliers for the kitchen are not suitable, since the fumes generated from cooking settle on the lighting fixtures.
  • With light design hall in the apartment It is desirable to use not small lamps with a small diameter, but larger ones. It is very important to high-quality light, because most often this room is the most visited in the house.
  • In the bathrooms or in other rooms with high humidity apply small thin devices with special protection from moisture. It is not necessary in this case to save and buy cheap models, it is better to buy a quality product, taking care of the safety of the whole family.
