If you decide to use a stretch ceiling in the interior design, lamps, and, more precisely, their choice may become the main problem for you. On the one hand, with their help, you can focus on certain areas of the room, changing its visual perception under specific architectural requirements. On the other hand, if you incorrectly select lamps under the stretch ceiling, you can easily spoil it.

Therefore, in order to avoid mistakes when choosing lamps under stretch ceilings, two things need to be taken into account: the material from which it is made and the features of each specific type of lamps.

For ceiling suspended structures there are two ways to install the lighting:

• The fixture is installed on the main ceiling, to which the plaffones are mounted, and the holes are cut onto the surface of the suspended structure.
• The lamps are embedded directly in the suspended ceiling leaf.

Installation circuit embedded in stretch ceiling lamp

Both of these methods imply that the lamps in the stretch ceiling should be chosen, given the degree of heating of the lamps and the material of the stretch design. Otherwise, one day, your ceiling can just darken or lose the form in the worst case - melt.

As a rule, the installation of fixtures for lamps and the wiring laying is performed before mounting the ceiling, so you can safely buy the light bulbs, and then, taking into account their specification, select the material of the ceiling coating.

They are glossy or matte, made of fabric, fiberglass or PVC, and differ technical characteristicswhich directly affect operational qualities. For example, PVC coating is resistant to heating and humidity, so it can be used in almost any room and with any type of light bulbs. But the fabric coating is although it has a low thermal conductivity, but absolutely not resistant to humidity, so in the kitchen or in the bathroom, for example, it is not worth installing it.

Lamps for stretch ceilings

The range of light sources is so wide and diverse that in the manufacturers catalogs it is possible to get lost. Ecola (Ecol), Maxus, Osram, Philips, Big and many others in need offer you point, halogen, diode, outer and built-in lamp for stretch ceilings. What to choose and why? Bowl of all the answers to these questions we are looking for themselves, by the method of samples and mistakes, in the end, the best options, but the misunderstanding time and losing money.

Let's figure out the advantages, disadvantages and features of each type. For example, we will take the catalog of the widespread brand Ecola (ecol) - in it, thanks to a wide model range we will be able to find all the types of lighting devices.

So, the ceiling lamps for stretch ceilings are built-in and overlaps, with an incandescent helix (ordinary and halogen), luminescent (CL / energy-saving), and LED (LED).

To choose the type of lighting, it is enough to know the main differences between them:

• Halogen is incandescent lamps, which in the cylinder contains gas (bromine or iodine). These lamps serve longer and are heated less, if you compare them with conventional incandescent lamps. Therefore, lamps embedded in the stretch ceiling, if you want to use incandescent lamps, it is better to choose with halogen bulbs.
• Luminescent - gas-discharge lamps, which, with mercury vapors, create ultraviolet radiation. Such lamps under the stretch ceiling will give a scattered, pleasant light, and save your money. They will serve at times longer than ordinary incandescent lamps.
• LED - lamps that are still called LED (from English Light Emitting DIODE), these are environmentally friendly and super-saving light sources. They are fit perfect for point lamps in stretch ceiling.

Let's look at the Ecola catalog. Halogen lamps are not represented in it, but, as an alternative to replacing stagnation with hot halogen lamps, they offer a fairly good model GX53, but the range of energy-saving and LED models is quite diverse.

Advantages and disadvantages of various types of lighting

Lamps under stretch ceilings using halogen lamps will allow you to adjust the angle of falling light, and, at the expense of power, create an effect visual expansion space. They will become indispensable, for example, in the bathroom, giving a small room an extra volume, and the glossy ceiling is even greater shine. However, such a lamp in the stretch ceiling has at least two negative features: the scarcity of the color gamma of the emitted light and the reduction of the total height of the ceiling by 6-8 cm.

If you want fixtures to the ceiling with conventional incandescent lamps, you will always win in ease of operation and installation. The burned light bulb can be quickly and just replace. But, always need to remember that the number of lamps per meter square should be strictly limited - the installation of such a lamp in the stretch ceiling is fraught with overheating and deformation of the canvas.

What can we offer in connection with this issue of Ecola? Systems of adapters, splitters and cartridges for a wide variety of needs and any designer solutions. Excellent, go on.

Point fixtures for stretch ceilings can be two types depending on the location of the lamps: overhead and built-in. Such lamps are attached in the stretch ceiling quite simply, and due to the hermetic attachment platform, even indoors with high humidity can be installed.

Built-in lamps for stretch ceilings

The point lamp in the stretch ceiling will help to hide the possible surface irregularities, save space and money. And the mobility of the structure as a whole allows you to adjust the light stream in the desired direction. The only reason why you can not choose a point lamp in the stretch ceiling is its cost when installing. But, at the expense of its economy in power consumption, it quickly pays off.

Clamping connectors and ECOLA connecting boards will allow you to choose and build any designs from point items and connect all to one power source. Perfect solution, in my opinion.

Diode lamps for stretch ceilings give centralized panoramic volumetric and bright lighting. They visually increase the height of the ceiling, and fill it with highlights of refracifying rays. With the help of LEDs, you can implement almost any designer solution. Such lamps in the ceiling give a continuous uninterrupted light for several years - they have a record indicator of energy saving. This is the only type of lamps in stretch ceilings that do not have obvious negative indicators.

Ecola offers us a variety lED ribbons And components for them, candle lamps, balls, corn and, even reflectors - there is where to raise fantasies, embodying the idea of \u200b\u200bany complexity.

Overhead lamps for stretch ceilings

Overhead luminaires under stretch ceilings are simple, economical and easy to use. They are conveniently mounted on any surface, they have different equipment in the number and type of lamps. Such lamps can be complemented by power supplies, various electrical or electromagnetic devices and starting structures. This is superb a budget option For any room. In the Ecola assortment at least 5 main models of overhead and embedded lamps that are suitable for any type of lighting and interior due to the diversity of modifications and colors.

Specificity of the selection of lamps under the material of the stretch ceiling

When choosing and installing lamps in the stretch ceiling, you will definitely encounter certain restrictions that impose the type of finish (material) and the specific design of the ceiling itself.
One of the main rules will be the compliance of the parameters of fasteners dimensions of the lamp. Otherwise, the lamps in the ceiling simply will not hold enough to hold enough.

Then take into account that different material Differently reacts to high temperatures. The range of tolerances for the stretch ceiling temperature is from 0 to 60 ° C. Therefore, the LED and fluorescent lamps are used most often as lamps in the stretch ceiling.

If you want to use incandescent lamps, then it is better to install lamps under the stretch ceiling, and not in it, and be sure to consider how close to the surface there will be plaffones. Ideal parameters for such a fixture in the ceiling: 60 W for conventional lamps and 35 W for halogen, with plafones removed from the surface by 25-30 cm and directed downwards.

Original lamp for stretch ceilings

Energy Saving I. lED lights In the stretch ceilings can be located as you like - they are less susceptible to heat.

If you decide to install point lights under the stretch ceiling, then you need to pay special attention to the body of the lamp itself. Especially if it is planned to use halogen lamps - when the housing is heated to the critical temperature, your ceiling can be melted.

That this does not happen - all housing holes must be insulated with a heat-resistant gasket or equipped with external details with low thermal conductivity. But, nevertheless, the best and absolutely safe option in the case of overhead luminaires will be LED elements.

Some Ecola models can even be installed in a tree or plastic without additional thermal insulation. In addition, the ECOLA catalog boasts a few models, as if specially created for the designer - golden and colored LED lamps, which will perfectly look at the interiors requiring special solutions in the approach to design and illumination.

Conclusion

As we see, the topic of lighting in the structures of stretch ceilings is quite wide and specific. The main thing, when choosing components, remember that they should be compatible on materials, and perform their immediate and aesthetic functions: to cover the space at the same time creating comfort and emphasizing the individuality of each room.

This article will be useful to those who are going to order stretch ceilings and as lighting decided to dwell on point lights. We will tell about how to choose the right lighting devices for the stretch ceiling, with some light bulbs to equip them, how these devices are mounted.

Many believe that realizing functional lighting on tissue or PVC canvases is difficult or impracticable. In fact, stretch ceilings allow you to apply any existing type of lighting products: chandeliers, LED ribbons, point lamps, etc.

There are only two technological challenges that tension systems are configured:

• fabrics and films have no own bearing capacity;
• the canvas are afraid of high temperature.

But they are successfully solved, it is only necessary to choose the right lamps for stretch ceilings and perform all generally accepted requirements for installation.

How to choose spotlights for stretch ceiling

It so happened that in the post-Soviet space, point lamps occupied a leading position among all types of lighting. Especially if we are talking about suspended (plasterboard, plastic) and stretch ceilings, where you can apply mortise models. The thing is that point lighting devices allow you to solve a wide range of tasks, both practical and purely designer, and for relatively small money.

What is a good spot light source:

• may illuminate the entire room or individual zones;
• not striking, but creates an "atmosphere";
• mortise option is exclusively ergonomic (important for low ceilings);
• has a small weight;
• cheap stands.

Stretch ceiling lamps: mortise, semi-cut or overhead

The lighting products of the built-in type were obtained the greatest distribution, since the stretch ceiling always at a certain distance retreats from overlap. Supporting space has a thickness of at least 3.5-4 centimeters, often this is enough to "hide" the lamp. But keep in mind that for some models of point light sources, it is necessary to lower the cloth lower, to 70-120 mm. Curling point lights for stretch ceilings almost do not protrude above the surface of the ceiling and do not clestate the useful height of the room. Such lighting devices tend to illuminate only the room, their rays almost do not fall into the ceiling, do not accent on it.

Attention! Since the lamp is completely hidden inside, then the heat allocated it almost completely falls into the interpochor space. Carefully select the power of the lamp.

Overhead lamps are essentially miniature chandeliers that are attached to the ceiling outside. Such lighting devices are distinguished by a large variety of design, it uses the most intricate plaffones and superstructures (crystals, grunge glass). Many platform options: cast or stamped metal; Before stainless steel, gold, silver, copper / bronze patina. The overhead devices are notable for the fact that they will illuminate not only the room, but also the tension ceiling canvas, which, for example, the gloss allows you to get very unusual effects.

The semi-dry lamp is a kind of built-in model, in which the body of the lighting device is behind the ceiling, but a significant part of the lamp is located below the plane of the web. These models are mounted as well as mortise lamps, but in the same way the overhead devices are sent to the ceiling. In addition, the rendered lamp is more heat in the inner space of the room, which means that a more powerful light source can be selected.

Point lamps: fixed or swivel

Non-reflective point lights for stretch ceilings illuminate the zone that is directly under them. In this case, we can manipulate exclusively by the layout of the lighting devices, having them evenly or by some lines.

But sometimes there is a need to focus on a certain interior item, or important in terms of design zone, then the best choice Move rotary lamps. It can be built-in, semi-dry and overhead structures, in which there is a hardly attached part and a movable module that includes a lamp. Most of the opportunity to send light at a given room point, give sobes of outdoor performance, having fixed hinges or flexible legs. By the way, such models can be very practical if used, for example, above the make-up table or above the mirror in the bathroom. They are also good when highlighting showcases and exhibition space.

Focused or scattered light

The shape and brightness of the light flux is selected depending on the tasks. Some lamps give focused, clearly directed light (downlight), and others - generate a soft scattered glow. The first option is good for the zoning of the interior, and the second is preferable for calm uniform lighting, for example, in the bedroom or living room.

As a rule, the type of light flux is set in the design of the lamp. For example, a mortise lighting device with an open lamp usually creates a concentrated beam of light. And if the lamp is enclosed in a plate or covered with a matte plate of glass, then the rays are softened and dissipated, change the color, partially directed to the ceiling.

Many solve light bulbs for stretch ceilings. Open LED models and halogens generate a dense stream, and energy-saving samples and white incandescent bulbs - shine around them evenly.

Attention! Too "muddy" plafones significantly grind the productivity of the lamp, and the level of illumination in the room may not be enough.

Lamps for wet rooms

Where air humidity can change, the usual point lights cannot be used, as the risk of short circuit and breakdown on the body (unsafe for humans) is too large. Choosing lamps for stretch ceilings in the bathroom, for zones near the pool or on an unheated balcony, you need to give preference to special models that in marking the level of protection (ИР) have a high second digit. What it is higher - the better. For reference, the fourthkee means protection against splashes, and the five is protection against water jets.

Attention! Luminaires for wet rooms always have an insulating casing for the mechanism.

Types of lamps on the light source

In this case, we will simultaneously consider the types of lamps used and the technical, operational characteristics of the highlight. The fact is that each point lamp has a cartridge designed for a specific type of lamps. At the same time, some types of cartridges can take the lamps of different power, light efficiency, and even various luminescence technology.

So, we look at the cartridge and the base. Here you can allocate:

• threaded models (e)
• pin (G)

Threaded cartridges are designed to screw the incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs. Not so long ago, LED light bulbs appeared, which can be used here. On the diameter of the threads, products with the E27 marking (the standard "Edison" class) and E14 (Mignon class) are distinguished.

Attention! A distinctive feature Such luminaires are considered a large assembly height, which is about 80-120 mm. At this distance will have to lower the stretch ceiling.

GU5.3 cartridge models; GU4; GU10; G4; GU6,35 are the skewers in the dot devices (the numbers indicate the distance between the conductors). Luminaires with pin cartridges are designed for halogen, energy-saving and some LED lamps. It is the lamp here determines how much the ceiling should be omitted, since the housing itself of these lighting devices is quite compact. On average, the height rate in such lamps together with the lamp is about 50-70 mm. By the way, in this regard, two-dimensional rotary lamps with a spherical moving module can be somewhat preferable (they are also called "fisheye"), since the lamp is deposited down at a certain distance.

The mansion is some purely LED lamps for stretch ceilings, the so-called "tablets". The grounds and lamps of the famous GX53 model in the amount have the best mounting height indicators - about 35 mm. This corresponds to the minimum possible interpostatic space for stretch systems, so it is not necessary to take the height of the room.

Attention! Despite the universality of the cartridges, some lamps are recommended by manufacturers for specific types of lamps.

Light bulbs for stretch ceilings

As we can see, for the same lighting device you can choose several types of lamps. Let's figure out what characteristics you need to pay attention to which restrictions can become critical.

Incandescent lamps:

1. Are cheapest.
2. To replace the lamp fails, you do not need to dismantle the entire lamp.
3. The most serious disadvantage of such a light source is a strong heat dissipation, therefore, for heat-sensitive PVC, the power of 40 watts is considered to be the limit, and 60-watt lights allow for tissue ceilings.
4. Another disadvantage - the height of the reinforcement of the lamp can reach 120 millimeters.
5. Many incandescent lamps have "rear" glow, which sometimes creates an ugly effect if the ceiling canvas is shifted. Mirror, reflex models of this lack are deprived.

Fluorescent lamps:

1. 70-80% more economical incandescent lamps.
2. Almost do not distinguish heat, therefore there are no power constraints.
3. Almost do not evode the ceiling from the inside.
4. Allow you to choose the temperature / color of the glow (from the blue-white to warm yellow).
5. May have a mounting height of 50-70 mm, like halogen, or up to 100 mm, as incandescent.
6. Relatively expensive stand.
7. Sensitive to the quality of wiring and voltage characteristics. For example, can flicker, slowly flared up.

Halogen lamps:

1. Give a compact focused stream.
2. Require 5-7 centimeters of free space for the web ceiling.
3. Cheap stand.
4. Do not extract the ceiling from the inside (choose models with high-quality mirror).
5. Heated strongly, therefore, the maximum of 35-watts lamps are used.
6. The luminescence temperature corresponding to white daylight is not available.

LED bulbs:

1. LEDs are going to lamps under different types Cartridges.
2. The order of incandescent lamps is an orderly.
3. LED lamps for the stretch ceiling can be very compact (height 35-38 mm).
4. Do not heated (large power can be applied).
5. Very reliable and durable.
6. Light stream directional.
7. Glow white.
8. Different with high cost.

How the lamps for the stretch ceiling are mounted

Whatever the type of point luminaire is selected, preparatory work should be performed before installing the tensioning canvase.

1. Each lighting device is supplied with a stooping conductor and securely fixed on the main ceiling, so that during operation the wire does not wire and remove the fabric or film. If corrugated is used, then its color (black / white / gray) is better to choose depending on the tone of the stretch ceiling (Dark / light), as there are strongly translucent canvas.
2. At the location of the mortise lamp using adjustable brackets, a universal mounting platform is established, which is selected according to the mounting diameter of specific lighting devices. For overhead models, the platform is needed solid.
3. Platform brackets are set to a level with a mounting profile (in one plane with a future web). If the platform is bad, then the lamp or will pull the ceiling down, or forms a depression directed upwards.
4. After tightening the web outside, the appropriate size protector thermocolt is pasted on it, which protect the film or fabric from overheating and mechanical exposure.
5. And the last step: the holes in the canvas are cut, the cartridges are switched out, the lamps are installed on the spot, the light bulbs are inserted.

Video on the topic

Stretch ceilings are gaining popularity every year, because they are easily mounted and hide all the defects of the geometry of the room. However, we all know how important and what great importance It has for comfort and comfortable stay in the apartment. That is why in this topic we will tell you how to choose lamps for stretch ceilings, share with you certain nuances and rules.

For the stretch ceiling, 3 types of products are suitable - point, suspended and shipping. Let us dwell on each of them more details for the right choice.

Point

Point lamps are suitable for any room, be it a bathroom, bedroom, living room or kitchen. Design with such lighting can radically change the apartment, because the light can be done at different angles, in different places and even different colors! What could be better for experimental lovers and bold solutions?

However, for high-quality it is necessary to choose an experienced and verified master. Together with the specialist will be required to consider all technology before mounting work, choose the design of lighting devices, decide on their number and colors. By the way, it is believed that the rate of placement of products is 1 piece for 2 square meters.

Selecting a point option - the task is not from the lungs, but it is worth it! For example, we offer you a small photo gallery with designer ideas of this lighting:

Suspended

If you are looking for an easy and inexpensive option for lighting, we advise you to choose suspended lamps. Be sure to check that the hook in the draft ceiling will fit the way in the stretch and can be safely taken for the selection of a suitable lighting device.

The only thing you should not forget about is that the stretch ceilings cannot be overheated in any case. Consequently, you need to choose such a product so that the ceiling shake it with the ceiling. Not always this option suits and if you still decided to buy a lamp, where the lamp is directed up, we advise you to choose for lighting. In addition, make sure that the distance between them was at least 40 cm (this also applies to the sooping lamps) in order to avoid overheating.

Options for beautiful lighting suspended lampsYou can also look at the photo:

Venetic

To sealing lamps, most often include a variety of products that are attached directly to the ceiling. A good option is to install a large beautiful chandelier In the middle of the room, you can install small point devices around the perimeter. Here there are also their specific nuances how to choose the desired model, in particular, how the lamps should be located. It is best for the chandelier to choose energy-saving lamps to avoid excessive heating. If you have chosen another look, buy a device in which the plane will be directed.

Interesting design ideas with sewer products, you can see in the following photos:

Very important is the choice of lamp for the stretch ceiling. The best solution will be the purchase of a halogen and LED product. Such lamps, with properly located lamps, can visually increase the room, have bright radiance and are energy-saving. It is not recommended to use the usual incandescent lamp, since it has a property to heat and may be damaged.

What else do you need to know

Now you know what lamps are for stretch ceilings and what they differ each other. We bring to your attention some more secrets how to choose the right light device correctly:

• Before buying and installing the stretch ceiling, be sure to draw a plan for the placement of lighting and wires, exactly imagine what you need.
• When choosing, think about the reliability of the selected company. Remember that when breakdown, the product installed in the stretch ceiling, the replacement will be very problematic. Positive feedback and popularity was received by Ecola, thanks to the appropriate combination of price, quality and huge selection of models. It makes sense to stop your choice on these lamps.
• Extraordinary lighting devices will be combined with glossy ceilings, a matte film is suitable for the classic option.
• For the bathroom you need to choose moisture-resistant lamps in a special hermetic case.
• Whatever type of product you have chosen, be sure to find out their size and fastening method. These factors will be important for high-quality installation work.

Most people choose to finish the ceiling stretched canvas. They are distinguished by an impressive number of positive characteristics adding them to demand. Among the main allocate wide opportunities For design, ease of installation, availability of self-installation, durability of the service and compliance with environmental requirements.

Attention!Point lamps become the optimal illumination. They guarantee the desired amount of light, an interesting appearance and durability of operation.

What are the lamps for ceiling luminaires?

Each person at least once wondered how to choose lighting equipment for stretch ceilings. Expert Tips are often reduced to choosing point embedded options. Such lamps are in demand, allowing you to place them comfortably, visually increase the space and achieve aesthetic design.

The following types of lamps for lamps are available:

1. Halogen.
2. Luminescent or energy saving.
3. LED.
4. Incandescent lamps.

Each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages. Halogen lamps are universal and practical. They differ in compact dimensions, offering more options for design. However, it is noticeable, so it is not always possible to establish them in the stretch ceiling.

If you are wondering what kind of lamp prefer, stop the choice on energy-saving or LED variants. They guarantee the maximum service life, independence from switching on / off cycles. The result will be high power, sufficient level of brightness, variety of designs.

Firmly choose the type of lamp, it is important to take into account the other characteristics. The first thing that pays attention is the power of the instruments. For every 2-3 square meters, one lamp with a capacity of 40-60 W will be needed. More powerful devices can be negatively affected by quality, durability and external appearance of the stretch ceiling.

If you prefer incandescent lamps, among the advantages note a simple connection scheme, fast replacement and low price. Among the minuses is a limited resource and a decrease in the height of the room by lowering the ceiling, so the choice of this option is not often found.

Fluorescent lamps are embedded in the stretch ceiling more often. They do not heat up, comply with security standards, guarantee a long service life. An interesting feature it becomes possible to choose a lamp preferred color temperature - warm yellow or cold white. The minuses are limited in decoration and pause before turning on.

Halogen light bulbs - in demand type for point lights. They are called energy saving for the ability to save electricity. With their help, it is possible to achieve bright lighting. Halogen lamps are suitable for the organization on a tension ceiling of oblique backlight. It is in demand for zoning space. These light bulbs turn on instantly, and a wide range allows you to select the desired appearance.

LED models are an excellent choice for creating a backlight in the interior. They help focus on any design details or add brightness to lighting. LED light bulbs are represented by various shades and dimensions, which makes it possible to choose suitable option To implement your own designer idea.

How to choose outdoor lamps?

If you have chosen a suitable internal lamp, it remains to decide on the outer type. The quality of lighting also depends on it. The main feature of such lamps is the opportunity to choose the preferred location of the light bulb. It is mounted directly in the stretch ceiling or goes beyond its limits. At the same time, the distance to which the lamp goes beyond the ceiling, it happens different.

Attention! Remember that there are types of external luminaires in which the light bulbs are mounted under the tension ceiling itself. In this case, from the web, they are separated only by a protective screen. It performs the feature of an interesting decor element and protects the cloth from unnecessary heating.

Another popular option of outdoor lighting becomes light, smoothly descending from the ceiling. This type of lamp will take care of the localization of the lighting zone and will allow the zoning of space. A distinctive feature will be a unique opportunity to achieve the required brightness. This type choose those who prefer extraordinary solutions in the interior.

Advantages of external lamps:

1. The ability to mount next to the base ceiling, eliminating the decrease in the height of the room.
2. insulation from the ceiling coating.
3. The surface of the ceiling remains untouched, since no excess intervention in the installation process is required.
4. Expert advice argue that care for lamps is easy.

The main advantage of the outer luminaires becomes their spectacular combination with point. The result will pleasantly surprise you, and the possibilities for design opens many. Improte even the most bold ideas, and they will definitely look interesting!

We choose LED lamps

Owners of apartments when choosing light bulbs rely on expert advice who claim that the best way Choice for highlighting - LED bulbs. They function under DC voltage, which becomes their main difference from other options. In this case, the converter is set in two ways. In the first case, it is mounted individually for each lamp, and in the second - in a single lighting system.

LEDs are distinguished by the following advantages:

1. Durability service.
2. Independence of the duration of the operating cycle from inclusions or shutdowns.
3. Minimum highlighting indicators of heat, which allows you to maintain the quality of the ceiling coating.
4. Easy installation.
5. Convenience and availability of subsequent repairs, if there is a need for this.
6. High quality product and its compliance with standards and standards.
7. Optimal dimensions of the base.

Such a design still has one drawback. They are the high cost. But in the process of service you will make sure that it is completely justified.

The advantages of LED lamps are obvious on the background of other options. Boldly give preference to LEDs, combine them with other light bulbs, creating unique drawings. LED backlight is one of the most sought-after decor options. Such lamps are located on the ceiling, walls or furniture items. They create accents on the subjects of the decor.

Choose SPOT: Interesting Interior Solutions

Another type of lighting devices - SPOTS, in which LEDs are also used. They are movable lamps, they are also called the lamps of directional light. With their help, the interior focuses on a specific object, lighting it with a bright spot.

Spaces are located on the ceiling or on the wall, directing the light stream in the desired side. They can easily fit into any interior style, replacing traditional chandeliers. Regulation is simple, you can independently send the device in the desired direction.

The main advantage of spots is the possibility of their operation in the premises with low ceilings. They do not take excess space and do not take the height of the ceiling. Wall aggregates are distinguished by a small diameter of the rolling base. Often in the interior they are replaced by sconces. They are used to read books or in work zone Kitchen.

Now you know more about the lamps and their correct choice for the stretch ceiling. To determine the desired option, be sure to consider the advice of experts. If desired, point-type lamps are effectively combined with chandeliers. This will add a highlight to the interior and guarantees excellent lighting. If you have any questions about choosing lamps, pay attention to the video.

The lighting market for stretch ceilings today is simply filled with all sorts of modifications and variants of lamps. When visiting the eye stores, simply run in the wealth of choice.

The article will be presented naturally not all, but only three types of lamps, most often used for installation. Consider separately their advantages and disadvantages.

G5.3 lamps

The first type is the lamps under the light bulb with the base G5.3 This species is shown in the photo below:

There are halogen and LED performance. The halogen base minus is that the lamp reflector passes part of the light into the stretch ceiling.

The result is a picture when all the insides of the ceiling and communications can be seen. Namely - fastenings, wiring, mortgage.

Previously, this problem was solved in two ways:

• The rear wall of the light bulb was folded foil
• Or simply painted paint

Now everything is much easier. Enough to purchase lED light bulbWith which the rear surface is completely opaque and light from it only down.

The lack of the luminaire itself is that the light is planted deep enough inside.

Because of this, the light is diverged under an acute angle, without hackering the maximum possible area, and without scattering throughout the room. It turns out that the lamp will shine the spot.

In addition, due to a very small diameter, limit the power of LEDs.

Even a more developed radiator will not allow you to install a light bulb more than 7 W.

And this is if it is made of aluminum. When it comes to some composite cooling, it is unlikely that such a lamp will last long. She will be simply overheated and brazen.

To other brands due to their larger and best conditions Cooling can be "shoved" all 15 W.

GX 53 lamp

The second type of the lamp has a GX 53 brand. Its main plus in a larger bulb diameter. In addition, the lamp itself is not drowning here, but the opposite protrudes from the plane for several millimeters.

Due to this, the light is obtained as scattered as possible, and the lighting angle is quite wide. It can be said that this light bulb shines all 180 degrees.

There are two types of lamps to such lamps:

• LED
• Energy Saving

Everyone advised to put the LED. First, they serve much longer, and secondly flared up instantly after switching on.

Energy-saving for this need a certain time, often several tens of seconds!

Heating lamps

What should pay attention to when choosing a bulbs for this type of lamp? First of all, on the shape of the base. When you buy LED lamps, choose those that have radiator cooling lattices.

Since there are specimens with a flat surface, completely closed with plastic without a hint, even at some grid.

It also appeared innovations with so-called composite radiators. Externally in shape they can be absolutely smooth. As the manufacturer assures, thanks to the combination different materials and components (aluminum with plastic in one casting), the cooling effect is achieved as on lamps with powerful aluminum radiators.

However, many firms are frankly chelluritis and go along the way to reduce their costs, while not providing proper quality, closing only by catchy by name. In fact, nothing composite there may not be. Here is a confirmation:

There is a common opinion that the LEDs do not heat in any way, but it is not entirely true. In any case, they allocate heat, and it is necessary to get warm. And this all ultimately affects the service life.

On average, such lamps must work at least 3 years. Although the guarantee for most manufacturers is 1 year. Often, all this is affected by packaging in hours of work.

The lack of heating at the lamps is the most important parameter For stretch ceilings. Otherwise N. right choice It may lead to deformation and shrittle film, or even damage. Since the stretch ceiling has high heat sensitivity, under thermal exposure it loses its elastic properties, melts and spots are formed on it.

Varieties GX-53

GX 53 lamps are available in very wide color gamma. At the most popular model from Ecola GX 53 H4 - up to nine colors. The landing diameter of them is 90mm.

In a set of high-quality products should always go thermocole.
It is necessary precisely for installation in the stretch ceiling. Without it, the film will simply break off spontaneously in the other side where you do not need.

The popularity of its model GX53 H4 was due to the fact that they occupy very little space in the interporal space. This lamp has a very reliable fastening.

The ear on which the spring is fastened from the metal and does not fall off over time.

So in similar models GX53 H6 everything is made of plastic. And plastic agitates with time, especially under constant impact of heat. Such a fastener is chosen and the lamp hangs in the air only due to wiring.

Additional plus in front of G5.3 is a protrusion of a lamp a few millimeters from the lamp housing. Due to what it turns out the dispersion of light by 180 degrees without the formation of dark corners in the room.

True, some do not quite like when the light is not flush and completely not recessed in the landing place. For such a design, choose the GX53 FT3225 brand. It is just the same and called a deep recessed lamp.

However, firstly, it is more expensive, and secondly the same trouble with fastening plastic, and the color range of just three options.

Therefore, look for new H4 models in stores, but with an in-depth landing destination under the lamp. These are also there, focus on the inscriptions on the packaging.

All the above models are suitable for installation in ordinary rooms - hall, kitchen, bedroom. To install in the bathroom, you need to buy waterproof with the degree of protection IP65. For example, the GX53 H9 lamp.

He has his own nuances. From above there is a silicone gasket, and the lamp itself protects the glass, which is removed by the rotary movement. On the part of the highlighting the device, the device is protected from water splash.

However, the same protection gives restrictions on the power of the lamps. All this should be indicated on the package.

• in LEDs - 6W
• Energy saving - 9-11W

More than these power it is impossible to use.

Installation of the lamp in the ceiling without a mortgage

Another plus GX53 H4 - with a certain refinement, they can be mounted even without a mortgage. This may need if you do not want or not the opportunity to lower the ceiling.
The whole remission takes a few minutes.
