Ceiling lighting

Arranging the interior of the room, special attention should be given to the design of the ceilings. Lighting is one of the fundamental moments of housing design. The most significant role in this matter is played by ceiling lighting, as a competent selection and installation of lighting fixtures will help create a harmonious atmosphere, a unique style of the room, to emphasize its individuality.

Ceiling lighting design is a complex concept, and it is based on several interrelated tasks. Let's start with the fact that modern ceiling lighting is of two types - general and local.

With the help of general lighting, a powerful light stream is evenly distributed throughout the room, creating a physiologically sound, basic background. For this purpose, the most powerful lamps are used. And already at the next stage local lighting is projected, which emphasizes the general architecture of the room and individual elements of the interior.

In the photo with ceiling lighting, you can see how the ceiling will look with different types of lighting.

Using different types of luminaires, you can not just create numerous options for lighting ceilings, but also combine them. However, you should consider some of the features that each type of ceiling construction has.

Stretch ceiling lighting

When choosing luminaires for suspended ceilings, it is worth bearing in mind one important detail. The brilliant surface of such a ceiling becomes a very good reflector, and if one light source is used, it will attract unnecessary attention, concentrating the light at the location of the lamp, leaving the far corners of the room poorly lit. And even the most effective chandelier in combination with a smooth, almost mirror stretch ceiling, will not give comfortable lighting.

Therefore, more harmonious here will look point lighting ceilings halogen lamps, evenly integrated throughout the surface of the ceiling. Lamps of this type give directional beams of light. But it is important to know that the housing of the working lamp in the place of contact with the ceiling material should not be heated above 60 ° C.Therefore, it is not recommended to use halogen lamps with a power higher than 35-40 W.

Halogen lamps can also be used to provide integrated ceiling lighting. For this purpose, each luminaire is fixed so that its main part is located in the space formed between the capital base and the tension web. Point light streams will give the impression of a perfectly flat ceiling surface with an amazing play of light.

Suspended ceiling lighting

In most cases, suspended ceilings are made of plasterboard - today it is the most accessible material, it is simple and practical to use, and what is especially important - allows you to create the most amazing shapes of suspended structures and the most extraordinary ways of lighting. But it should be remembered that the ceiling lighting from gypsum board must be equipped even at the stage of its installation, because it is at this time that the wiring should be laid, the wiring diagram in the wiring box is thought over and the option of attaching the luminaire to the ceiling is chosen.

For suspended ceilings, any type of fixtures is suitable, but, perhaps, the most successful option is the ceiling lighting with an LED strip. The neon illumination, which was launched along the contour of the ceiling, will also look good. LED strip or neon cord is located under the ceiling in the figured gypsum board niches. Light, reflected from the main surface of the ceiling, will create a very cozy and uniform illumination. The pendant design thus as though "soars" under a roof of a ceiling. This type of lighting is also known as concealed ceiling lighting.

With pendant designs, the spotlight is also organically combined. Point light fixtures installed along the perimeter of the room will visually enlarge the room. Fixtures of this type can also be used to divide the room into logical zones.
