Turning lights

Arrangement of any residential premises involves the installation of lighting. Today in the market this production is presented by a big variety. Among all this range, special attention should be paid to turning lamps. Designs of this type are multifunctional and practical.

Turning lights are lighting systems that are equipped with a special turning mechanism. Such a construction consists of several main components:

1. Metal case. It is the basis of a rotary lamp, where a lamp or another component that generates a luminous flux is screwed.
2. Bracket. This design is also made of metal. In this case, its elements can move in one or several planes.The simplest brackets allow you to rotate the lamp only at a small angle.

But the variety of such models is not limited to these products, since you can find full-fledged lamps on the market, which differ in their original design.

This group of lamps can be attributed, and spots. These products resemble a point model, but they give a directional beam of light. Please note that such structures can be rotated in almost any direction. This is due to the presence of a special hinge.

Turning lights are gradually gaining immense popularity, as they are versatile and easily adjustable. Devices of this kind have several significant advantages:

1. Variety of design. Today, the market can pick up a lamp, even under the most sophisticated interior style. In their manufacture, non-standard design approaches are used that allow the material to be given unique shapes and dimensions.
2. Small sizes. This can be said only about point models, which are perfectly mounted in a false ceiling. With minimal dimensions, they illuminate a large area of ​​the room.
3. Change in luminous flux. Turning the lamp, you can give the room a unique style, as the light will fall in a new way on objects. In the case of spots, they can be used for zoning a territory or as a backlight in the kitchen.
4. Easy installation. The system is fastened with a few dowels or anchors. Built-in modifications are generally mounted using a spring system.

It is possible to classify turning lamps by several criteria. One of them is the place and method of attachment. Depending on these characteristics, there are several types of luminaires:

1. Embedded. Mechanisms of this type are located at the level of the ceiling. This is achieved due to the fact that the hull is completely hidden inside the suspension frame.Such models are installed only on suspended ceilings. Prominent representatives are spotlights.
2. Overhead. Lamps of this kind are located above the surface of the ceiling or a little hidden in it. There are already presented high-grade fixtures that can have a different design and size. Perfectly suitable for plasterboard ceilings combined with tension elements.
3. Suspended. Structures of this kind are mounted on cables, which, in turn, are attached to the main ceiling. A prominent representative of this type of lamps are spots. They perfectly complement all modern interiors.

Depending on the environment of use, luminaires can be divided into internal and external. The latter type can be operated on the street when exposed to rain and wind. They are protected systems, which is achieved through better materials and the presence of seals.

Almost all modifications of such lamps are made single, but there are also double models. Rotation of such lamps is often possible only in one direction.

Rotary lights can be equipped with several lighting devices. Today on the market are models with such lamps:

• LEDs. The most modern light generator. Lamps of this kind consume relatively little energy, which makes them very economical. The level of illumination of these devices can vary in a very wide range. There are modifications of light bulbs that can change the color of lighting, which is important for designer lighting. But more often they generate a white color, not so much affecting the eyes.
• Halogen. For receiving a light stream through a gas which is in a tight flask current is passed. This causes it to glow. This type of lamp generates a very powerful luminous flux, which can illuminate a large area. At the same time, the spectrum practically coincides with the natural radiation of the Sun. But lamps of this type consume a lot of energy and heat up for a long time beforehow to get to maximum power. It should also be noted the long service life of such devices.

• Fluorescent. Devices of this kind also save energy very well. Among the advantages can be identified low cost and availability. But the luminous flux emitting these devices, according to its characteristics is one of the worst. With such lighting, the person will feel uncomfortable.
• Incandescent lamps. The cheapest and most affordable lighting fixtures. During operation, they also emit quite a lot of heat and consume a significant amount of energy. Rotary lamps are equipped with them quite rarely, as they do not give the desired effect.

Rotary lights are used mainly in the design of living rooms. Their features allow you to create unique designs that will depend only on the direction of the light flux. With the help of these devices in the interior you can create several types of lighting:

1. General lighting. For this fixtures are placed around the perimeter of the room. Often, for such purposes apply only embedded modifications. They are complemented by chandeliers, which allows you to create a cozy atmosphere. Sometimes for solving such problems, lamps can be installed in the wall. This approach is used to create the lighting of columns and other decorative elements.
2. Zone lights. The lamps are arranged in such a way that when several devices are turned, it was possible to illuminate a certain part of the room, dividing it into several decorative zones.
3. Dressing. This approach is used when you need to emphasize a certain part of the room. Often, with the help of rotary lamps organize the illumination of paintings, vases, fireplaces and other architectural and design elements. The best solution for such tasks will be wall spots, which can emphasize the flow of light at a specific point.

Installation of rotary lamps is not difficultas almost all models are equipped with special fasteners. The editing algorithm can be divided into several successive steps:

1. Planning. This procedure involves choosing a site for installation. There are no universal recommendations where it is better to attach a lamp. In this case, you should be guided only by the features of the room and your needs.
2. Wiring If the lamps are mounted on a classic ceiling, then it is not difficult. For this, channels are formed in it, where the cable is hidden. For suspended ceilings, you should take care of laying the wires in advance, since it is impossible to do this after its installation. Please note that it is undesirable to lay the cable on the canvas.
3. Connection The cable is connected according to the standard scheme. To do this, you just need to clamp the special terminals that are present on the lamp.
4. Mount. The installation is completed by fixing the lamp to the base. This process depends on its type. Overhead and suspension models are simply screwed to the frame or metal thread.Embedded modifications are fixed with springs in previously made holes.
