LED ceiling lights. How to choose an LED ceiling light for your home? Led ceiling lamps for home

Our catalog offers LED ceiling lights, which are becoming increasingly popular in modern design. They are gradually replacing previously used incandescent lamps, as well as fluorescent and halogen lamps. This is due to their technical characteristics, environmental friendliness and ease of installation.

What are LED ceiling lights used for?

• long period of operation (more than 10 years);
• energy efficiency, allowing you to reduce electricity consumption up to 10 times;
• absence of IR and UV radiation;
• simplicity and ease of use;
• warm and soft radiation level;
• no buzzing or flickering;
• environmental friendliness (no toxic substances and heavy metals);
• affordable price.

Why is it profitable to buy LED devices in our store?

According to the method of fastening, structures can be:

• Invoices. Most often, these are devices with a small lampshade; they are installed on the surface using self-tapping screws or other similar types of fasteners.
• Hanging. Can be hung from ceiling structures on cords, pipes, chains.
• Built-in. Can be installed on suspended ceilings, suspended surfaces made of plasterboard or other similar materials.
• Mixed. They can be installed in various ways on the ceiling or walls, suspended or overhead.

Based on their intended purpose, LED ceiling lighting is divided into:

• decorative, to create a stylish and original interior;
• specialized, designed for specific tasks(for Armstrong ceilings or housing and communal services facilities);
• smart systems with remote control, automatic configuration functions, color temperature adjustment, and other “smart” functions;
• universal, which is distinguished by its discreet design and simplicity of construction to fit any interior.

Progress does not stand still and the products of electrical equipment manufacturers are no exception. Until relatively recently, it seemed that fluorescent lamps were the height of economy and durability. But the appearance of LED lamps on the shelves destroyed this stereotype. Of course, at first there was a lot of controversy about the fact that they are quite harmful to everyday use, but time has put everything in its place. And now, without hesitation, many people purchase LED ceiling lights for their home, replacing fluorescent or halogen ones with them. Today we’ll talk about all their advantages and disadvantages and reveal the secret of their popularity.

Read in the article:

Ceiling lamps for the home, their positive and negative qualities and some interesting facts

The secret of such enormous popularity of LED ceiling lamps is not only their efficiency and compactness, but also their durability. If we compare them with luminescent ones, the service life of the latter is almost 2 times less. The interesting thing is that with lower power, they are not inferior in luminous flux even to bright halogen lamps. In addition, when compared with CFLs, they do not require special disposal and are not harmful to human health and the environment.

Installation of LED lamps to the ceiling is quite simple due to their light weight. In addition, sometimes you don’t even need to change the lighting device itself - just replace CFL, incandescent or halogen lamps with LED lamps. The light temperature of such devices is in the usual range - from warm to cold with intermediate shades. And if initially they were used exclusively for industrial or street lighting, now the scope of their use has expanded significantly. These days they are used:

• in offices and warehouses;
• in the majority medical institutions;
• schools and kindergartens;
• in industry and street lighting;
• and boxes;
• apartments and private houses.

Thus, LED lamps these days have covered all areas, which means it is impossible to ignore them on our pages.

During the relatively short time that the LEDs are on Russian market coverage, the number of their fans is constantly growing. And this happens quite quickly. Let's look at all areas of their application separately to find the reason for this.

Of course, their main application is office space. This is where installing LED ceiling lights solves many problems.

Office lighting and the reason for the popularity of LEDs

It's no secret that any head of a company that has its own workroom or office, tries to reduce the cost of their maintenance. And one of the saving options is the installation of LED ceiling lights for offices. Moreover, after such modernization, the costs not only fall, but also the purchase of the lamps themselves, despite the fact that their cost is slightly higher than that of their predecessors.

Of course, there is special demand in similar cases They use Armstrong LED ceiling lights, which have a low price and are quite easily installed in suspended ceilings of a similar design. But few people know that you can save money even on purchasing lighting devices. For example, if fluorescent lamps are installed in the office, then their simplest modernization will avoid replacement, and therefore unnecessary costs. At the same time, even a person without special education and any skills. Let's try to look step by step at how this work is done.

DIY installation of LED lamps in a fluorescent lamp - step-by-step instructions

It is clear that despite the complete identity of the lamp daylight and LED tube, a simple replacement is not enough here, and therefore we suggest viewing a photo report of the modernization with detailed explanations:

Illustration	Work performed
	First, let's compare the characteristics of these types of lamps in order to have an idea of ​​the power consumption and luminous flux each of them
	So, ceiling fluorescent lamp"Armstrong" which we will modernize
	We dismantle it and turn off the power from it. In our case, this is a wire with a plug. If the network is connected directly, then you first need to remove the reflector and unscrew the terminal screws
	In our case, the reflector is removed from the already dismantled light fixture
	The next step is to remove the fluorescent lamps. Don't forget that they need to be disposed of. in special ways to prevent mercury vapor from entering the body or the environment
	Next, all cartridges are dismantled...
	…capacitor…
	... and throttle
	This is what the lamp will look like after the preparatory work has been completed.
	As you can see, the base of the LED tube is completely identical to the fluorescent one
	Disconnect all wires from the terminals
	We connect the cartridges according to a different scheme than it was before, namely all 4, located on one side with a loop to the phase, and the entire other to the neutral wire
	This is what the other side will look like. In this case, it does not matter which of the sockets of the socket the wire will be fixed into - as a result, all of them, when installing the LED lamp, will be one piece
	Now we install the LED tubes themselves with the radiator inward. However, you need to understand that if an internal reflector is installed, it will not work. After all, an LED lamp directs the light flux straight down, and not around, like a fluorescent lamp
	Checking the lamp for functionality
	All that remains is to install it in place and install the reflector
	Work is done. One lamp took about 10 minutes

As you might guess, the work is not difficult. In this case, you do not need to purchase office ceiling LED lamps themselves. Only tubes are needed, which is undoubtedly cheaper.

Important information! The luminaire should never be removed or installed without relieving the voltage. Defeat electric shock entails serious harm to health, including death.

LED strip for surface-mounted fluorescent ceiling lamp

You can also include in a number of homemade products enough interesting option manufacturing an LED lamp from a square overhead fluorescent lamp with a matte diffuser. To do this, we also dismantle the lighting fixture and remove all the old elements from it, leaving only the body. Next, it is glued inside LED Strip Light RGB (multicolor). It is advisable to glue it in 5-6 stripes, but you can choose any number - it all depends on your wishes home handyman. But it should be remembered that between them there must be space for placing an RGB controller, which will control the lamp.

Now all that remains is to do the wiring and secure the controller to the unit. As a result, you can get an LED ceiling lamp that will be controlled from a remote control remote control. Wherein color scheme You can choose the same remote control yourself, depending on your mood. We will talk about similar factory-produced LED lamps below.

The use of LED lamps in medical institutions - what are the nuances?

Of course, LED ceiling lights have not spared medical institutions either. But there are some subtleties here that cannot be ignored. The fact is that in such organizations it is impossible to establish the usual Appliances. Medical LED ceiling lights must have the following characteristics:

1. The reflector must be closed protective cap, preventing blinding.
2. It must be resistant to ultraviolet radiation and washing with aggressive solutions.

In practice, these requirements are often ignored. However, no one prohibits LED for medical institutions ceiling lamp make from the luminescent one that was there previously.

LEDs for schools and kindergartens

If you pay attention to numerous studies in this area, you can come to the conclusion that LED ceiling lights for schools are much safer than fluorescent lamps, which are installed everywhere. The fact is that more high-tech and economical devices are free of flicker, which negatively affects not only the vision of the student and teacher, but also their psychological state. In addition, it has been proven that the phosphor layer inside the fluorescent tube, designed to block harmful UV radiation, is not always uniform and has cracks. This means that it is not able to fully protect a person from ultraviolet radiation.

Industry and the use of LED lighting devices in it

Industrial workshops have always been illuminated with halogen spotlights, arc mercury lamps(DRL) or arc sodium tubular (DNaT). The problem with such lighting devices is a fairly high energy consumption with low efficiency and service life. It is these problems that have been solved with the help of industrial LED ceiling lamps. In addition, the latter are more compact and do not require additional bulky and heavy equipment.

Recently, pendant LED lamps have become popular in the industry, which are quite easy to install. At the same time, they require virtually no maintenance, which means additional cost savings.

Street lighting using LEDs

Outdoor LED ceiling lights are very convenient for installation in local areas, verandas and gazebos. Agree, while saving them, the absence of the need to frequently replace lamps adds comfort. After all, if the moisture protection class is chosen correctly, such lamps operate without any maintenance for several years. In addition, nowadays the manufacturer offers such forms that not only fit into the design local area, but also decorate it. As an example, we offer to see what similar LED lamps look like in the interior of plots and private properties.

LED lighting in the garage - why it attracts car enthusiasts

Here, of course, the ability to connect lamps to a 12 or 24 V network can be considered a very big advantage. In addition, if portable lighting is needed, it becomes completely safe - LEDs withstand any mechanical impact quite well. But, let's return to 12 V lighting.

Imagine how inconvenient it is when there is no lighting in the garage and the line is not stretched. In this case, taking into account the low power consumption of LED ceiling lights for the garage, it is quite possible to drive up in a car and simply connect the lighting to the cigarette lighter using a long wire.

Household use of LED lamps in apartments

In residential premises, LED lamps undoubtedly outperform their predecessors in all respects. And this is not surprising. More compact apartment LED ceiling lamps are so varied that you can choose the shape and size to suit every taste.

In our review, we’ll look at what types they come in and what they can offer. modern designers and how much the original desktop lighting will cost.

Such devices have proven themselves to be excellent in the dining area, where cooler and brighter colors are most often used. For example, an LED ceiling lamp for the kitchen, in addition to being economical and bright, can be either recessed, suspended or directional. And this is very convenient when you need to regroup light zones, for example, on a work surface.

Also, if you pay attention to those that are more protected from external factors lighting devices, then you can find ones that can be installed in the bathroom or even underwater in the pool. As for waterproof LED ceiling lights for bathrooms, they, just like others, can have different shape. Therefore, choosing the right one for a particular interior will not be difficult.

Important information! When purchasing such lighting devices, you should definitely pay attention to the protection class. The higher the IP, the greater the equipment’s resistance to external influences, both mechanical and atmospheric.

Various types and designs of LED lamps on Russian shelves

The types of such devices may be different. Among the others we can highlight:

• recessed ceiling lights;
• devices for suspended ceilings;
• overhead ceiling devices;
• pendant lamps.

Let's try to figure out how these types differ from each other.

Recessed LED lamps for suspended ceilings - installation and use features

The most common type of installation of such lighting fixtures is ceiling lights built into plasterboard construction. According to their characteristics, they are point-like, which means the light flux from them is directed. Some of the models have the ability to adjust the illuminated surface either in one plane or in different directions.

Similar lighting in almost all areas of the apartment, which means they are universal. You can also integrate an LED ceiling light into the bottom shelf of a hanging cabinet. kitchen set. This ensures good lighting working area, which is very convenient for housewives.

LED ceiling lights for suspended ceilings and how they differ from built-in ones

In fact, there are no fundamental differences between these types, with the exception of the method of fastening. Also, most often for recessed LED spotlights in the bathroom, lamps with a voltage of 12 or 24 V are used. In this case, the power supply will need to be installed in a place inaccessible to moisture.

With suspended ceilings, such devices look quite aesthetically pleasing. We bring to your attention several photographic examples of such installation:

The use of LED recessed ceiling lights for stretch ceiling due to the lack of heating of the lamp, which negatively affects the material of the canvas. After all, if you install incandescent lamps or, even worse, halogen lamps instead, the heating of the lighting fixture will very quickly render the ceiling unusable. In addition, the “Ilyich bulbs” have much larger dimensions and will stick out from the device, spoiling the appearance.

In other words, today the use of LED spotlights for suspended ceilings - the most best option. It is possible that in the future something more interesting will be invented, but for now this is the case.

LED overhead ceiling lights and why they are interesting

This option is better suited for a hallway or staircase. It’s just difficult to imagine a kitchen interior that could fit, for example, a ceiling mounted LED light 595x595x50 mm (unless, of course, it’s a dorm kitchen). But for a corridor such a lighting device will be very convenient.

The same can be said about the bathroom, although round-shaped overhead LED ceiling lights are more in demand in residential areas. They fit more neatly into the decor and don’t look so old-fashioned. Although, we do not pretend to be designers and this is a purely subjective point of view, with which not everyone can agree.

If we talk about entrances, elevators and staircases, then installing square LED overhead ceiling lights there will be very successful. Especially if they have a protection class with resistance to mechanical stress. This will protect you from vandalism and common hooliganism.

Pendant lamps and various options for their execution

Pendant lamps– probably the most aesthetic option. Such devices can be made both in a retro style and in a more modern one. Of course, like any others, they have their drawbacks, but the drawbacks are so insignificant that it’s not worth focusing on them.

LED pendant ceiling lights are most often used in kitchens, although other applications are possible. You can exclude, perhaps, bathrooms, where such devices will not look good. The undoubted advantage of this type is the ability to adjust them in height, although not all models have a similar function.

The most common forms of LED luminaires

As already mentioned, the forms of such lighting devices can be different, namely:

• round devices;
• flat ceiling LED light;
• square lighting fixture.

The last two types can be done with your own hands without unnecessary investments of time and effort through modernization fluorescent lighting. However, converting a square ceiling light to LEDs will take a little longer. As for the first option, the situation here is a little more complicated. And yet, if you have the skills to work with a soldering iron and basic knowledge radio electronics, then everything is possible. For example, a round LED ceiling lamp (for a suspended ceiling) can be made from halogen, although it will take a little longer.

What sizes can LED ceiling lights be?

The size of these lighting devices depends on the area of ​​their application and does not have any specific standards. Although, if we talk about recessed and cheapest ceiling lamps with Armstrong LEDs, 600x600 are the most common dimensions. This is done for the convenience of installing such lighting devices in a suspended ceiling. Indeed, to install this lamp you only need to remove one of the plates and install a lighting device in its place.

In addition, it is not at all difficult to make a 600x600 mm LED ceiling lamp from Armstrong fluorescent lighting equipment, which is also very economical (exactly such a conversion is shown in step by step instructions higher).

But for such lighting devices, slightly different dimensions are also used, which also does not prevent them from being installed in the same mounting locations. These are the dimensions of the recessed LED ceiling lights 395x395x40 mm. They are more compact not only in width and length, but also slightly less in depth than standard Armstrong ones.

Lamps for LED lighting devices and their varieties

As for lamps for LED lamps, their range is amazing. It is impossible to imagine a situation in which, taking any lighting device, you cannot find an element of a similar type, size or shape. For example, tube-shaped LED lamps necessary for the home, or even industrial ones, which can be installed instead of DRL or HPS.

It is the diversity and the ability to use without additional equipment and attracts the consumer to this product. The only exception may be devices for 12, 24 or 36 V. In this case, you will still have to purchase a power supply. As for LED light bulbs for 220 V ceiling lamps, then in this sense there are absolutely no problems.

Expert opinion

ES, EM, EO design engineer (power supply, electrical equipment, interior lighting) ASP North-West LLC

“If you plan to replace incandescent lamps in a room with LED ones, and a dimmer is installed instead of a switch, then when purchasing lighting elements you need to make sure that there is a special marking on the box.”

If you buy cheaper ones, simple lamps, then the device soft start will only work as a switch. This happens for the reason that, installed in a conventional LED lamp, it stabilizes the voltage from 110 to 260 V. At the same time, its frequency remains unchanged. This means that by lowering the voltage, the lamp will burn in the same way until it reaches a level of 110 V, after which it will turn off. Moreover, such operation is very harmful for the driver - it can quickly burn out.

But the driver of a dimmable lamp acts differently. When the voltage is reduced by a dimmer, it also reduces the frequency of the output current. As a result, the LEDs begin to fade out smoothly.

What is the price of spotlight recessed LED ceiling lights - a review of the most popular

Let's not pay attention to lamps costing less than 100 rubles. Such products are simply not worth our attention. It’s better to consider 2 lamps from different price categories, but not too cheap.

Make and model	Lamp included	Housing material	Average price, rub.
Light Star 011111	No	Metal	250
Novotech 369791	No	Metal, crystal	1000
Leds C4 Eis 90-1789-21-37	Eat	Glass	4500
Novotech Vintage 370179	4 things	Metal	7000
Eglo LOKE 1 91355	Eat	Metal	8900
Novotech Grape 370177	5 pieces	Metal, crystal	12900

This is approximately how the prices for similar products are scattered. But it’s not just recessed lamps that are interesting to consider in terms of cost. This means it makes sense to find out at what price you can buy LED thin surface-mounted ceiling lamps, as well as other varieties of these products presented on Russian electrical store shelves.

Make and model	Type	Case shape	Average price, rub.
Citilux 917 CL917000	Overhead	Circle	700
AL569	Overhead	Figured	5000
PY4-595-36 "Armstrong"	Built-in	Square	700-1500
SATURN 25W R	Ceiling with remote control	Circle	From 3000

As you can see, everyone can choose their own price category. For example, prices for recessed Armstrong LED ceiling lights are quite reasonable. Although, of course, upgrading fluorescent ones yourself is cheaper.

And yet, what I would like to dwell on in more detail is LED ceiling lamps with a control panel. Enough interesting solution both for the living room, and for the nursery or bedroom. The fact is that with the remote control such a device does not simply turn on and off. Thanks to RGB LEDs, it becomes possible to adjust the color of the light and its saturation. Thus, when installing such a lamp, for example, in a nursery, there is no need for a night light - LEDs can completely replace it. In addition, the cost of such devices has decreased significantly in our time.

And lastly interesting product today it is an LED lamp with a regular base on RGB LEDs with a remote control. All that is needed for installation is to screw it into place of the incandescent or CFL (compact fluorescent) lamp. The remote control has almost the same capabilities as in the previous version.

Finally

A little time has passed since the advent of LED ceiling lights, but every day this type of lighting has more and more fans. This is not surprising, because everyone wants bright, pleasant and at the same time economical lighting in their home. And if we remember the environmental side of the issue, there are equal LED lighting No. That is why many are trying to get rid of poisonous mercury (fluorescent) lamps and switch to LEDs.

Of course, if you look a little back, you can note that at the beginning the cost of such lighting devices was quite high. But these days this difference is practically not noticeable. In addition, repeated studies have proven the safety of both the LEDs themselves and the radiation emanating from them.

If anyone has any questions on the topic, welcome to the discussions. We will be happy to try to help you. Write, ask, share information. And now we suggest you watch a rather interesting video on the topic and see how easy it is to make an LED lamp.

Video: how to make an LED lamp with your own hands

Designers offer unusual design interiors: modern, neoclassical, eclecticism - a subtle combination of different stylistic directions. But the most exquisite decoration will not look good without proper lighting. One of the options is LED ceiling lights for the home. With their help, we organize not only good, functional, but also exclusive lighting for interiors in various styles.

Choosing the right surface-mounted LED lamp

The range of LED lighting products is quite large. They differ in appearance, purpose (for interior spaces and external use), luminous intensity. They can be designed for different types of ceilings:

• ordinary;
• tension;
• hanging;
• Armstrong.

When choosing, you need to take these features into account. But first of all, any lamps and chandeliers must ensure safety, functionality, and efficiency during operation. Therefore, the lamps are conditionally divided into various groups, which are influenced by the following factors:

• installation location: wall, furniture, ceiling;
• type of room: bedroom, hall, nursery, hygiene room, kitchen, hallway or hall;
• shape: triangular, square, ellipsoid, round or rectangular;
• scope of application: decorative, for outdoor lighting, landscape, emergency or for architectural elements;
• design features: overhead external, built-in, with external or built-in drivers.

Expert advice. When choosing LED spotlights, you need to select models that can illuminate the room certain area or be strong enough for outdoor lighting. In this case, models with a dimming function (able to change the light intensity), as well as devices with a motion sensor, are an excellent option.

Manufacturers offer luminaires that have external or built-in converters. Built-in drivers are usually installed in surface-mounted lamps, since they have a fairly voluminous housing. Modern options may include one LED lamp, or they use a matrix of several LEDs. The power of LED lamps is different from incandescent lamps. Therefore, using a simple ratio, it is easy to calculate the required power for wall and ceiling lamps. So, if a regular 80 W incandescent lamp was used in the room, the appropriate lighting will be provided by an LED model with an energy consumption of 12 W.

Design features of overhead ceiling lamps

Surface-mounted luminaires, unlike recessed ones, can be installed on various surfaces: concrete slabs ceilings, wooden, plasterboard - using anchor bolts or self-tapping screws. An exception is suspended ceilings. Although craftsmen adapt to painlessly attach them to such a complex structure. An additional advantage is the absence of decorative lampshades that break and break. Since overhead ceiling lighting fixtures have a laconic design, as a rule, they are used as additional lighting or in secondary rooms: toilet, hallway, hygiene room, kitchen. However, I would like to note that designers create fantastic interiors with the help of such lamps. As a result, a starry sky appears in the room, exclusive paintings are emphasized or architectural elements. Power, color range of lighting, size of the device must correspond to several factors:

• size of the room;
• purpose;
• location.

Manufacturers offer different types of glow: cold neon, white matte, warm solar, yellow, so it’s easy to purchase and install the best option. I would like to emphasize that such lamps are often associated with offices and public institutions, but this is a misconception. They are perfectly applicable in private homes and cottages - for lighting swimming pools, saunas, billiard rooms, and gyms.

LED recessed luminaires

This type requires a certain free ceiling space for mounting. As a rule, installation is combined with repairs. In this case, the placement of devices is planned. Calculated required amount, installation is in progress electrical wires, installation of a suspended or stretch ceiling. A little design features: the lighting device consists of a direct LED lamp and a special reliable mount with a spring bracket - a holder that securely fixes the device to the ceiling. The design is simple and allows you to easily replace one lamp with another if desired and necessary. What built-in options are applicable for interiors? There are quite a lot of options: square and round, voluminous and flat, with the function of changing the intensity of light and color flow, laconic white and elegant gold and silver.

Options for suspended ceilings

A stretch ceiling is a fabric that is stretched by heating and secured to special profiles. But nevertheless, it remains soft and quite peculiar in operation, since it can burst if heated. The option of LED lamps is acceptable because they have low heat transfer, so the ceiling does not deteriorate. In addition, such additional lighting allows you to install a chandelier with low-power lamps, which has a positive effect on the longevity of the stretch ceiling.

LED luminaires for suspended ceilings

In this case, problems do not arise. The mount allows you to quickly and reliably install the lamp of the selected option and, if desired, change it to another. The distance between the floor slab and plasterboard, plywood or chipboard is quite enough to place the lamp structure inside. But at the same time, the illumination intensity is maintained at the required level.

Ceiling lamps Armstrong

Interesting combination of slabs and overhead ceiling lamps. In this case, an uneven-high ceiling is created, which becomes interesting decorative element interior Essentially, this is a group of LEDs that are fixed in a lamp block and combined into a common circuit. Depends on the number of diodes general power light emitted by the device. A special mount helps to securely install the lamp into a suspended ceiling structure. As a rule, they are used for commercial and public institutions, but can also be used to illuminate the halls of private houses in high-tech style.

Security spotlights

Such lighting devices make the entrance area, attic and attic rooms, basements, garages. In the latter case, often only the interior space is illuminated, but also the entrance to the garage. They are indispensable for stairs. In this case, the lighting can be not only ceiling, wall, but also directly built into the steps.

Illumination of furniture and dressing rooms

In such furniture or separate room As a rule, it is impossible to install ordinary chandeliers or sconces, since they are quite massive. And spotlights make wardrobes and dressing rooms more functional, make it easier to find the necessary thing or item, including helping to maintain order on the shelves.

Application in various decorative styles

An interesting feature of these lamps is their versatility, since their small sizes and large range of models allow you to choose an option for any interior. They are irreplaceable:

• for rooms with small ceilings;
• in neoclassical interiors to create background lighting;
• in homes with a minimalist style and bright Indian or Moroccan interiors, as there is a lot functional lighting, capable of changing the internal essence of the house;
• They are often used to create light accents that draw attention to various decorative and architectural elements, works of art, and sculptures. In this way, you can create unusual progressive lighting when, using a motion sensor, lights are turned on and illuminated iconic places:
• An unusual effect is achieved by organizing a light curtain that separates different functional areas of the house.

Decorator's advice. With the help of super-thin panels, the thickness of which is about 1 cm, you can create a compact, but at the same time quite powerful lighting system. In addition, with the help of spotlights they create fashionable decor“starry sky”, combine the decor of the floor and ceiling coverings with the general arrangement of decorative and lighting elements.

I would like to dwell on the safety of the lamp itself. It is almost impossible to break, even if this happens, there are no dangerous small pieces of glass that can cause harm to health. In addition, they are fireproof. They can be used in rooms with poor ventilation.

Different types of LED lamps

For the right choice It is important to think about not only the strength of the lighting, but also what purposes the lamp should serve, since the organization of the interior should be planned based on the general concept of decorating the room. In this case there are no trifles. Therefore it is necessary to consider functional features lighting fixtures.

• Stationary

Such devices provide a directional flow of light and complement well central chandelier. With their help, you can create good lighting for a student’s workplace or office. At the same time, you can organize soft lighting for bedrooms and children's rooms.

• Rotary

A little more expensive than the previous option. The body is designed in such a way that it is possible to change the direction of the light at your discretion. This is an ideal option not only for organizing the illumination of iconic elements, works of art and architecture, but it makes it possible, by changing the direction of light, to transform the interior, introduce interesting notes, emphasize existing advantages and hide some shortcomings in an unusual way. For those who prefer to save energy and make their life easier, installing ceiling lighting with a remote control is optimal. Thanks to this, it is easy to change the lighting intensity, turn on or off the necessary lamps or groups of lamps, and thereby create lighting to suit your mood.

Energy consumption and benefits

Ceiling LED lighting fixtures help organize functional lighting and have additional advantages:

• it is possible to adjust the light intensity, change the direction or color of the lighting;
• have low energy consumption;
• long service life. A regular lamp lasts 100 times less than an LED lamp.

Manufacturer's advice. The required built-in lamp is selected based on several parameters: the purpose of the room, its area, location (inside or outside the house), installation method.

Modern houses require new approaches to decoration, the use of the latest construction and finishing materials, including a completely different approach to the organization of lighting. With the help of spotlights, interesting lighting is created, which becomes an interesting element of decor, iconic elements are emphasized, the size of rooms and ceiling heights change, and organization safe zones. As a result, such a small lamp becomes a universal, functional device for the home.

However, the fashion for LEDs began with ordinary lights and lanterns. And now almost all flashlights are made using this technology. And even an LED ceiling lamp is preferable to many people over a traditional chandelier. This is especially true for products at comparable prices.

Types of LED products (general classification)

The range of LED equipment is very wide. Among this abundance, it is quite difficult to choose LED lamps for a residential building or office. In addition, modern realities require taking into account not only the design and construction of devices, but also a number of other factors: safe operation, energy savings and lighting quality.

Modern LED lighting devices are used for various purposes - for country house, apartments, streets. However, when classifying lamps, it is customary to take into account certain criteria. They are distinguished:

• by area of ​​application - LED ceiling lights for home, office, street - landscape, decorative and architectural, as well as emergency and industrial;
• installation area - ceiling, furniture, wall;
• design features - linear, overhead, built-in, and even with external and built-in drivers, and even with a motion sensor;
• shape - square, triangular, round and rectangular;
• intended for specific rooms - bedroom, living room, bathroom, hallway, nursery, etc.

Such light sources can be equipped with external and built-in converters. Most often, the built-in option is suitable for surface-mounted lamps due to the size of the housing. In addition, they can be equipped with one replaceable lamp or a matrix of several LEDs. The latter solution is considered more reliable and modern.

In addition, LED lamps must be selected taking into account the illumination of a particular room and the ability to regulate its level. Therefore, it is worth taking a closer look at devices with dimming or motion sensors.

Thanks to the skillful use of spot lighting, the environment will look more advantageous. However, you need to know the power of the illuminators that you plan to install on the ceiling or walls. For example, an 80 W incandescent lamp can be replaced with a 10-12 W LED lamp. More accurately match energy consumption various light bulbs(fluorescent, LED and incandescent) is described in the table below:

It turns out that to provide the same level of illumination, LED equipment needs less energy than conventional or fluorescent equipment. This is the reason for the popularity of LED technology. This is more profitable because it saves money that you have to pay monthly for electricity.

Types of LED equipment by design features

Classification by place of use is not all the characteristics of the equipment. There are others important factors. Professionals divide LED devices by design:

Mortise point models. Attached to rigid ceiling trim or a specific box (if the ceiling is suspended) - this is the prevention of sagging. Suitable for hanging, slatted and plasterboard ceilings. The power of these devices is up to 24 W.

These are compact and durable devices. However, they are completely unsuitable for rooms with high humidity. You will have to get protective shades. The luminous flux of such equipment is narrow, so they are ideal for additional lighting and illumination of certain places in the room.

Overhead and semi-mortise with diffusers. Popular products. Their installation depth is less than that of mortise options. They are usually placed between the stove and the decorative ceiling covering if there is a small space between them.

Such lamps are purchased for powerful light bulbs. Thanks to the diffusers, the light is evenly distributed throughout the room. The equipment is in harmony with multi-colored glossy stretch ceilings. Will appeal to those who love unusual visual effects.

Soffits. Light sources are located in the moving parts of the illuminator, attached to the ceiling with its base. Not suitable for suspended ceiling coverings. Light from spotlights is represented by narrow buds that illuminate individual points or objects. Rotation of the soffit head in different planes helps illuminate certain parts of the room.

Panels. Overhead, suspended and mortise modifications. Usually these are flat lighting fixtures. Thanks to the diffusing surface, they illuminate the room evenly. A thin surface does not make the ceiling visually lower. There are products of various arbitrary or geometric shapes and dimensions. Living rooms usually equipped with round and shaped modifications, and offices and utility rooms with square and rectangular ones.

How are home LED lamps designed?

Surface-mounted LED lamps are good for the home because when installing them, you do not need to prepare a special recess for attachment. They are installed with self-tapping screws, attaching them to a flat ceiling surface. The products themselves can be constructed from different materials: wood, plasterboard or concrete. The strength of the parts guarantees the protection of the lampshade from accidental damage.

Manufacturers produce models of overhead LED ceiling lamps in round and square shape. They are installed mainly in rooms technical purposes: kitchen, bathroom, toilet. It is possible to use them to illuminate the living room and children's room. The choice of a specific model depends on the style and dimensions of the room.

Large modifications look better in spacious rooms. Offices also have better overhead equipment large sizes 59.5*59.5*5 cm. This option is appropriate in billiard rooms, as well as in gyms.

When choosing a device, you should take into account the power and dimensions of the lighting equipment. In addition, the color of the emitted light is important - cold or warm white or yellow. You should also know that when purchasing a device for a bathroom or kitchen, you need to focus on its moisture-proof properties.

Advantages of LEDs and selection principles

Such models outperform fluorescent, halogen light sources and incandescent light bulbs in a number of parameters. One of them is electricity consumption. However, there are other advantages of LED equipment:

• does not heat up and turns on quickly;
• does not flicker (flicker is dangerous for epileptics);
• excellent focusing and high brightness of the light stream;
• environmental safety (absence of mercury and other hazardous substances).

The choice of equipment requires taking into account certain parameters. The user experience depends on each of them. Therefore you need to pay attention:

1. For the size and type of case. Partially or fully built-in model, or overhead. It is important here that there is a gap between the ceiling finish and the tiles for the built-in lamp and wiring.
2. Light bulb power. For vinyl ceilings, it is better to choose a low-power lamp so as not to damage the material.
3. Radiator quality. Chinese manufacturers of inexpensive LED bulbs hide its absence under a frosted bulb. As a result, the equipment overheats and fails.
4. Luminous fluxes (700 Lm is the standard for an incandescent lamp whose power is 75 W). It all depends on your needs and the characteristics of the room.
5. Temperature of the light flux (unit of measurement - kelvins). Available in various shades of light, including cool blue and warm yellow.

Another important criterion in purchasing a ceiling light is the features of the base. If you prefer a budget option and a little-known manufacturer, it is better to buy a lamp with a common type of base. Then it will be easier to replace it when it burns out. Experienced consumers choose cartridges GU10, E27, GU5.3, E14.

The latest modifications of LED bulbs are dimmable. A dimmer is equipment for regulating the flow of light, depending on the wishes of the owner. It is not suitable for ordinary energy-saving lamps. But current LED lamps can work well with dimmers.

Conclusion

All types of LED ceiling lamps are specific to their application. They are usually purchased taking into account wishes regarding the future lighting of the room and its furnishings. There are also complementary varieties. The bathroom can be illuminated with a shaped panel, complementing it with spot equipment near the mirror.
