LED ceiling lights for home: the essence of harmonious lighting

The times when the ceilings of the apartments were a dull white surface with a front door located in the middle chandelierare a thing of the past. Instead, multi-level complex plasterboard and tension structures appeared, in which ceiling LED lamps for the home are effectively placed.

How to choose LED ceiling lights for your home: lighting requirements

LED products come in a huge range. It is very difficult to choose suitable luminaire models among the thousands of options offered.

The allocation of luminaires into separate groups occurs depending on the following factors:

• scope of use - office, industrial, decorative, landscape, architectural, emergency;
• installation site - ceiling, wall, furniture;
• design - built-in, overhead, linear, with built-in and external driver;
• shape - round, square, rectangular, triangular;
• the purpose of the premises - for the living room, bedroom, children's room, hallway, kitchen, bathroom, etc.

In addition, LED luminaires are available with a built-in converter and with an external one. As a rule, built-in drivers are mounted in surface-mounted luminaires, since they have a larger body. Some luminaire designs have led lamp, other models use a matrix of several LEDs instead of a lamp. Such models are the newest and rather reliable option.

The advantage of using surface-mounted luminaires is that there is no need to pre-prepare a recess for fixing them. They are mounted on a flat ceiling surface using self-tapping screws. Moreover, the ceiling design can be made of any material: concrete, drywall, wood. The absence of fragile parts in such lamps excludes accidental damage to the plafond.

Manufacturers produce models of surface-mounted LED ceiling lights in round and square shapes. They are installed mainly in technical rooms: kitchen, bathroom, bathroom. It is possible that they can be used to illuminate the living room and children's room. The choice of a particular model depends on the style and dimensions of the room.

Helpful advice! If you plan to use a surface-mounted LED square ceiling lamp in a combined bathroom, pay attention to the level of moisture protection of the device.

In the interior of spacious rooms, it is customary to use dimensional models. Large surface-mounted LED ceiling lights 595x595x50 mm are more often used in office premises. However, if your house has a billiard or sports room of an impressive area, such a device may well be used to illuminate it.

According to the method of fastening, the chandeliers are divided into suspended, built-in, panel ones. The choice of lighting fixture depends not only on the overall design of the room, but also on the height of the ceilings.
