LED ceiling lighting

Stylish ceiling lighting with LED strip is suitable for living rooms, and for children's bedrooms, and for halls. Mount it can be a gypsum plasterboard multi-tier ceiling, along the perimeter of the stretch ceiling or behind the plinth under the ceiling. In the work, the performer will need LED stripes, power supply. Additionally, you can purchase a controller.

How is the installation of LED lights?

For fixing the tape to the gypsum board structure, it is first necessary to screw the profile, to install the sheets for the first tier. Then mount the second layer by analogy. The distance from the last tier to the ceiling should be within 10-15 cm. This space is enough for a high-quality setting of the backlight and its correct operation.

The most simple and budgetary is the LED ceiling lighting by a ribbon with your own hands, conducted behind the baseboard. This option is suitable for rooms in which the wallpapering has recently been done and there are no fillets. Otherwise, it will need to be carefully cut and performed according to the following instructions:

1. Stick a baguette with a hollow interior to the wall( there should be at least 5 cm from its top to the ceiling).
2. Measure the perimeter of the room, connect the required number of tapes.
3. Connect the wires( tape - power supply).
4. Check the correct operation of the circuit.
5. If properly operated, proceed to pasting the tape behind the baguette.

The lighting of the ceiling by the LED strip under the baseboard carried out according to this instruction will create a cozy and comfortable atmosphere in the room. For lighting it is recommended to purchase elements with medium brightness. It is allowed to install colored ribbons( for example, warm yellow, blue).Such products will give the interior an originality and grace.

How to avoid serious mistakes?

The self-assembly though is carried out quite easily, but has many pitfalls. If the performer is acquainted with them, it is possible to make not only beautiful, but also really high-quality lighting of a room of any area. So, the main requirements for the installation of LED strip include:

• exact polarity when connecting tapes( the polarity is indicated on the tape itself);
• when installing lighting in rooms with high humidity or possible increase in humidity( for example, in the kitchen), you should choose waterproof elements marked IP;
• using more than 15 meters of bands requires the use of additional power supplies;
• when soldering wires you need to monitor the temperature of the soldering iron - no more than 260 degrees;
• the duration of soldering should not exceed 10 seconds.

Using the above recommendations and requirements, it is not difficult to carry out the work. Also, you need to remember the correct connection of the controller, which will allow you to change the frequency and type of flicker of the tape. It is a transitional element in the circuit between the illuminators and the power supply. This illumination of stretch ceilings with an LED strip is optimal for both glossy and matt surfaces. When choosing a smooth or muted light, you can create a romantic atmosphere. Frequent flicker is suitable for festive dinners, parties.

Installation of suspended ceiling light from gypsum board with LED strip is more difficult than mounting on skirting boards. But the result obtained in both cases will be attractive. Before starting work, it is recommended that you also examine all the attached photos and video editing. From the auxiliary information you can learn more about the rules of installation and selection of elements, draw non-standard ideas for creating LED backlighting.
