Recessed LED lights

Recessed fixtures were included in modern home interiors not so long ago, but they are already very popular. And all because such LED devices are original in their design, convenient and easy to install and subsequent operation.

This type of lighting has many advantages compared to a traditional light source:

• Long service life of devices. Today, only LED-lamps have such an advantage due to the fact that the design is made of high-quality and durable materials;
• The possibility of universal use. The design allows you to mount such lamps everywhere (inside or outside, on the walls, ceiling and even on the floor). Moreover, they can serve as additional and main lighting;
• In the process of manufacturing embedded luminaires in most cases, environmentally friendly materials are used.Due to this, luminaries do not emit ultraviolet harmful to human health and the environment.
• Also in the products provided protection against overheating, which, in turn, eliminates not only the risk of ignition, but also getting burns from accidental touch;
• Minimum requirements in service. Diodes have different levels of protection. In the case of frequent use of the maximum it is necessary to wash the device every few months;
• Another distinctive feature is unusual. Most models on the market today are sold with built-in brightness, intensity and light power control.

Unfortunately, the cost of such lamps is much higher than the usual classic ones. However, in this case, it is safe to say that the price corresponds to the stated characteristics and fully pays for itself in the future application.Recessed LEDs will bring all the best to the interior.

Even among the recessed fixtures can be distinguished several varieties.

The most popular type of diode lamp, which has a lot of advantages. The most important thing is a high level of safety in operation. There is no need for days to think about the place to install such lighting. The device can be embedded in a niche of any material.

The case of the product itself is also made with regard to precautions, it is equipped with a special protection from external influences, often made of metal, less often of plastic. Another not less important advantage is a long service life (more than 10 years). And this is taking into account the economical energy consumption. Also worth mentioning is the fact that point LED devices are not subject to the level of voltage surges.

The modern design of such lamps will satisfy every taste and fantasy. Today not only various forms, materials and colors of the buildings are presented on the market, but also the shade and level of the luminescence itself, depending on personal preferences.

For the implementation of complex interior design using linear LED lighting. Such devices can be found not only in ceilings, on walls, they can also be built into mirrors, podium niches and other complex design structures. All linear fixtures are compact, convenient and unpretentious to use. With proper approach can be used not only as a zone, additional, but also the main lighting.

A variety of decors and colors is striking in its quantity. Today you can find devices of various sizes and shapes (long, short, complex geometric shapes, linear profile lamp, etc.).

To protect against contamination and moisture, some LEDs of this type are manufactured using epoxy resin.

This type of diode lighting is rarely found in residential interiors, where it is more often encountered in public places (office facilities, department stores, entertainment centers, etc.). The panels received their distribution due to a number of characteristics and properties.First of all, their style, low cost and low level of energy consumption are suitable for large pavilion rooms. These lamps are one of the safest for the environment.

They also have the largest angle of propagation of light. But, unlike its built-in light analogues, the design of the panels is monotonous, and the functionality is limited to only one main function - the supply of light.

Cardan lamps are a multifunctional combination of housing with built-in dual lamps. Due to the complex design, it is possible to obtain both zone lighting (emphasis on a specific place, details), and for general, complete lighting. It is a mistake to believe that such products are quite massive.

Modern cardans allow you to adjust the power, intensity, direction and shade of the incoming light. They can be single, double and even consist of several modules, have different mounting and installation method (ceiling, wall).The design feature is that the lamps are separated from the main mount, which, in turn, prevents the possibility of overheating. Like other built-in lamps, cardan have practical usability, long service life, high quality and minimal amount of power consumption.

LED downlight devices are considered to be the most effective among others. The design of the equipment does not diffuse light in all directions, on the contrary, it comes in one direction, which is well suited for highlighting a particular element of the interior (picture, rack and other structures).

In the manufacture of these products it is common to use environmentally friendly materials, this explains the high cost compared to other devices. However, efficiency in use, long service life, the lack of special rules and measures to maintain compensate for this disadvantage.

Every year LED lamps expand the range of application. Manufacturers continue to improve the creation technology, which leads to indicators such as cost reduction,improvement of characteristics, the search for new ways of implementation. Today, artificial diode lighting can be found in the following areas:

• Lighting institutions and buildings for special purposes (hospitals, schools, etc.). The diode light in this case contributes to a comfortable stay of people for a long time at the workplace;

• Comprehensive, economical and safe provision of light for large areas of shopping centers, as well as additional lighting for shop windows;

• LED lighting is popular in the service industry (hotels, bars, restaurants). In addition to the functional advantages, the built-in LED lights will ensure a favorable presence of guests, create a unique design, image of the place;

• Industrial lighting requires special attention. Devices must be safe, protected from external influences in the form of high humidity, heat and pollution. Diode lamps fully comply with these requirements;

• Modern LED lamps can be equipped with a mechanism to control artificial light, which is of great importance in theatrical, concert activities and in places where a constant change in brightness, hue and direction of illumination is required;

• Built-in diodes are protected from overheating and do not emit ultraviolet light, which is especially useful for highlighting the priceless exhibits of museums;

• Built-in LED lighting is used to implement interesting ideas. Moreover, the use of such light contributes to significant savings in electricity costs;

• Housing and utilities have long used diode light for their own purposes in accordance with the requirements;

• Very often today you can find the lighting of stadiums, sports grounds for various purposes using LEDs. This is especially true when shooting competitions or broadcasting;

• In architecture, as in any other form of design, proper lighting plays an important role. Unusual forms, the uniqueness of the project are achieved through complex lighting solutions. Unlike other types of lighting, LED lamps can be mounted even in hard-to-reach places;

• In order to solve the problem of energy shortages, more and more cities are switching to the use of LED lighting for streets, roads, and parks.

Lighting is one of the main visual elements of the entire interior.Also an important component today is the organization of artificial light flux. A possible option in solving this problem is the use of a special device for regulating the level of illumination - dimmer. It can be built into the lamp itself or it can be a separate device with a built-in turning mechanism. The latter, as a rule, is used to control the light of large rooms (entertainment centers, theater, cinema).

The main difference between such devices for LED lamps and dimmers for ordinary incandescent lamps is that there is no need to change the current and voltage in the lamp itself. Continuous use of brightness control does not reduce its service life or deterioration.

Properly selected sensor changes the brightness and light power does not reduce the service life of LED lamps.The possibility of regulation contributes to saving energy consumption by more than 40%.

The advantages of using dimmers are:

• The device is completely safe and reliable, because, like the LED, it is made of high-quality materials;
• does not cause discomfort. Dimmers are small in size, easy to use and completely silent;
• With the help of such a device, you can control not one but a whole group of diode lamps in the same room;
• operation of the dimmer does not depend on external factors (overload, voltage drops).

The most common form of built-in diode luminaire is standard round. It will fit into any interior due to its laconic compact look. For those who wish to move away from battered options, manufacturers produce square, rectangular and other forms of lamps. As a rule, they are all thin, but ultra thin and completely flat can also be found. The form of the bulb itself is usually denoted by a Latin letter, which it resembles distantly.

Thanks to special production technologies, there are waterproof products. The cost of such lamps is higher than others, but this is due to their purpose. As a rule, such LED lamps are made specifically for the bathroom, where the humidity level is much higher than in other rooms.

The most popular were dimmed light sources, in other words, those in which the lighting control system is built into the device itself. The only drawback - such a mechanism can only be used in residential, small areas. Another newfangled phenomenon - LED devices with a motion sensor. It provides the function of remote on and off of the lamp without additional efforts.

Lighting - one of the main elements of the interior. It is known that the level of illumination of the space should not be below the required, as well as excessive light can harm.In this case, in order not to be mistaken in the calculations, you should use a simple formula:

n = (w * s) / p

For n is taken the required number of lighting devices. The letter w denotes the specific power of a specific room. S is the area of ​​the object and p is the power value of one device.

There are also a few simple rules that are used in the process of installing embedded LEDs:

• all lights should be located at a decent distance from each other (the recommended value is at least 0.5 m);
• at installation from a surface it is worth receding at least 15 cm;
• It is forbidden to build appliances in corners.

Today, diode lighting is not subject to exclusivity. They are found in everyday life everywhere (shop windows, outdoor advertising, electrical engineering, etc.). For several years, such lighting has been firmly mastered in the home interior. Now it is impossible to imagine a complex design project without the use of embedded LEDs.

In modern interiors, designers combine this functional and decorative component with this type of lighting, since the LED is not just an element of light decoration, but a guarantee of safety. They can be used not only as a primary or zonal light source, but also to be used in additional lighting of interior objects, window openings, niches. They are easily installed in the floor, in the wall, ceiling (the perfect combination with stretch and plasterboard ceilings). Also, these products can be used to illuminate various shelves, cabinets and other pieces of furniture. Very often you can find the use of diode light to illuminate the stairs.

In the interior, LED tapes are very often used, they are mounted in inconspicuous places, thus only incoming light is available to the eyes. It is worth considering that such diode cords are strong enough, flexible, protected from bending and thus completely safe. Thanks to these qualities, the use of LEDs makes them available even in the most unusual places.

Summing up, we can say that the diode lighting can change the room beyond recognition, creating unimaginable forms in space. Whatever the shade, level or power of the light, the effect will always remain unbelievable. Their use in the interior contributes to the implementation of the most daring and stylish ideas.
