The fact that lighting devices on semiconductors is much more economical than many traditional lamps( incandescent or fluorescent) has already been proven by practice. But what kind of a variety of assortment( cords, spotlights and a number of others) is more expedient to acquire is a big question, especially considering that most buyers have a rather vague notion of what is the difference between them. Let's dwell on the so-called LED ribbons, which are in great demand, and not for nothing.
What are these lamps? They fully correspond to the name - thin, light-emitting ribbons. In order to better understand how they are best used, it is worthwhile to dwell briefly on their main characteristics.
Product features
- Small thickness and flexibility, which makes this product versatile in installation.
- Possibility of either extensions or cuts to the required length( another convenience in placement).
- Different versions: single or multi-color glow.
- Several modes of operation - constant illumination, changing the intensity of the glow in accordance with the selected speed.
- Controls either "manual"( on / off), or remote( remote).
- The presence on the back of the adhesive coating, which greatly simplifies the attachment to the base.
If we add to this that there are several varieties of tapes - in terms of the degree of water resistance, the amount of light output - it is quite clear that they can be installed almost anywhere. But specifically - how are they better used in the interior of the apartment?
Each person has his own fantasy, and sometimes it is realized in the most incredible forms. Therefore, we note only the most common applications for such LED lamps.
Zoning
This is especially convenient for one-room apartments or rooms with large dimensions. With the help of LED strip, it is possible to divide all the space artificially into separate sectors, which will be highlighted if there is no need to include a "general"( for example, upper) lighting.
The same applies to other rooms. You can highlight the place of installation of the TV, a fireplace, a coffee table or something else.
Backlighting of the joints( faces) of
surfaces For example, by strengthening the tape along the skirting boards( including ceiling ones), you can visually change the geometry of the room, emphasize certain features of its architecture( niches, alcoves, openings, etc.).
Selecting( or changing the appearance) of furnishings
As a rule, such lamps often illuminate mirrors, bar racks, glazed doors of cabinets.
Quite original looks the bed, along which perimeter tape is laid. When watching TV programs, any other lighting in the bedroom is not required.
Decoration of the individual elements of the room
Imagine, how will the aquarium look if a luminous ribbon is laid along the edges of the frame? Then there will be a spectacle.
The same way you can distinguish a large outdoor vase, massive candlesticks, a picture on the wall, and how little that is.
Ceiling lighting
For tensioning - an excellent option. Or if the ceiling wants a little "lift".Often they are mounted on several levels( for example, from drywall).Installation of a ribbon luminaire along the lines of transition will give the room a unique look.
Duty lighting
This is more than a good option not only for a private house, but also for a spacious, multi-room apartment. Do not have to at night, if you need to get up, touch the wall with your hand in search of a switch. And if you pick up products according to the intensity of the glow and place them correctly( for example, in the corridor a little brighter), then you will not need to turn on other lighting devices.
By the way, this option should be considered in families where one of the households goes to bed early. Quite often, especially in small apartments, the rest not only try not to make noise, but also have to not include traditional appliances, content with the gleams of light from the hallway.
And some people are generally afraid to fall asleep in the dark. The tape around the bed is an excellent solution to the problem.
Not only one, even a series of articles on this topic is clearly not enough to consider all the options for placing LED ribbons in the interior. The main direction of the "flight of fantasy" is given. And everyone is able to decide how and where it is better to install such devices.
