When planning the lighting of living space should be guided by the fact that the lamps should emit a uniform light, effectively consume energy and have a long service life. These requirements correspond to LED lamps for indoor lighting. In addition, the compactness and low weight make it possible to mount them on walls and ceilings made of virtually any material.
The use of LED light sources and their characteristics
LED-lighting confidently leads in almost all the basic parameters, leaving far behind not only incandescent lamps, but also fluorescent and halogen light sources. The use of LED lamps for interior lighting of residential and industrial premises due to a number of exceptional qualities:
- economic efficiency – the LED luminaire consumes 10 times less electricity than the same incandescent bulbs and is 40% more economical than luminescent light sources;
- Duration of operation – LED-lamps are able to function for 11 years of continuous operation, which exceeds the indicator of an ordinary lamp by 100 times;
- durability and safety – due to the absence of incandescent filaments and glass cases, the LED lamps are resistant to shocks and vibrations: the operating parameters of the lamp will not be affected even by a drop from 1.5 meters height. The lack of heat makes them fireproof;
- silent operation, the absence of UV radiation – LED lighting emit even flicker-free light, unlike fluorescent lamps, the glow of which is accompanied by clicks, squeals, a one-time off, as well as the generation of ultraviolet radiation;
- maintainability and recycling – the LEDs in the lamps can be easily replaced by soldering, and the recycling of unsuitable llamas does not require special technologies;
- wide temperature range – LED lighting can function in difficult conditions at temperatures from -60 to 50 ° C;
- orientation of lighting – a huge range of modifications of LEDs with light scattering at an angle from 10 to 140 degrees;
- ease of installation – the presence of standard contact connectors makes it possible to install LED lamps in place of previously used suspended and embedded devices. In addition, the design of the lamp does not require the installation of additional devices (ECG).
Such a number of advantages allows the use of LED lamps in the lighting of living rooms and technical premises: bathrooms, storerooms, dressing rooms, corridors, flight of stairs, as well as in public buildings: hospitals, offices, libraries and other organizations.
The main feature of the overhead fixtures is that their installation can be planned not only at the stage of repair work, but also after this process is completed. A great solution to this kind of lighting will be for those who think of using it for lighting furniture or accent lighting of individual areas of the room.
By way of attachment to the surface surface luminaires allocate wall and ceiling. Depending on the purpose of the premises where the lighting devices will be located, they are:
- for a living room – as a rule, these are square or round overhead LED lamps with elegant shades, echoing in style with additional lighting devices;
- for the hallway – taking into account the configuration of the room, you can use one or more round or rectangular luminaires or a series of wall-mounted point structures;
- for the nursery, depending on the style of the room, you can choose models of a thematic performance in the form of a ball, sun, butterflies, etc. You can create a whole composition by adding lamps with small night lamps;
- for the office – overhead lights for this room are selected in a sustained design, complete with a desk lamp;
- for kitchen, baths and bathrooms – they use devices of various shapes with sealed shades, the most suitable in design;
- for utility rooms – here you can use the models of square, rectangular or round shape, with fastening both to the ceiling and to the wall.
Helpful advice! Application overhead LED lights for the kitchen under the cabinets makes use of the main light source minimal.
Models of overhead wall LED lamps for the house have mechanical strength and vibration resistance; some of them are designed in an anti-vandal design, which allows them to be installed in rooms with difficult conditions, including entrances or in other places with sufficient penetration.
LED lamps are a single independent design and have compact installation dimensions. They can be used not only as sources of the main light, but also for accent lighting of individual zones and elements. Due to the variety of shades of glow, such devices are used for interior design in any color options.
Spot lighting is one of the most popular ways to transform the interior through lighting. The design of spotlights is a body, hidden in the surface, and the front part, consisting of a light bulb, a diffuser, a reflector and other decorative details. Their main advantages are compactness, rigor and versatility of use.
LED recessed lamps are produced in round, square and rectangular shapes. By the type of body distinguish thin and standard models. They have several colors of light, including cold, warm, daytime white and multi-color. In addition, models are available that are different in angle of light: with a narrow (up to 45 degrees) and a wide beam.
Such devices are mounted using special spring clips. To do this, holes of smaller diameter are made in the surface than the front part of the spotlight, which allows you to hide the mounting gap. After connecting the wires, the brackets tighten to the device and the housing is inserted into the hole. Thanks to this simple mounting method, spotlights can be easily installed and removed.
Helpful advice! When choosing a point model, pay attention to the fasteners: the material of the brackets must be durable to support the weight of the lamp.
The versatility of point lights is that they are used for both general lighting and local lighting. They are the best suited for light design of ceilings, niches, arches, beams, as well as decorative elements. There are models of lamps with a swivel structure. Turning around the axis of their moving part, you can direct the light to a specific element of the interior.
Given the small size, lack of heating and low energy consumption, LED lamps are built into the cabinet furniture, having them both inside and outside. Such illumination can be endowed with additional options: switching on when opening a drawer or cabinet door, highlighting the contents of the dressing rooms, creating a directionality of the luminous flux.
The range of manufactured models of built-in furniture lamps is quite diverse. These are lamps of a round, triangular and square shape, the designs of which are fully assembled into furniture, leaving only a decorative frame on the surface. Both separate devices, and the sets consisting of two-three and more lamps are realized.
To create a shadowless area of the working surface of the table, it is more economical to purchase a system of five lighting devices, complete with installation wires, a converter and a power cord. For use in cabinets and walk-in closets, the 12-volt LED lamp with a side button is very convenient. Their length in typical design ranges from 25 to 60 cm. It is possible to order a product with a length of up to 1 m.
Furniture lighting at times increases the comfort of using wardrobes and dressing rooms. A lighting design niches and shelves effectively emphasizes the elements of the interior, making it more prominent.
Helpful advice! When choosing lamps for furniture lighting, you must consider the purpose of the room where the furniture is located. If it is a kitchen or bathroom, lamps should be used with special protection against moisture and splash water.
Linear luminaires are embedded in ceilings and walls made of drywall sheets, battens panels and other coatings. With the help of connecting elements they can be mounted both in a single line, and with the transition of the light contour from the ceiling to the wall at an angle of 90 and 270 degrees. The design of such a lighting device is an aluminum housing, an LED board and a plastic diffuser.
The predominant difference between such light sources and luminescent analogues is that it takes 3 times less electricity to illuminate the area with LED lamps. And their service life exceeds energy-saving models by 8-10 times. In addition, with a continuous arrangement of linear lamps there is no effect of dark spots, which allows you to create unimaginable lines of uniform glow.
Linear lighting systems are instantly switched on, and the number of on / off does not affect the duration of use of lighting devices. Linear lighting structures are used for interior lighting of residential, office, industrial premises, shops, warehouses and agricultural facilities: greenhouses, poultry houses, etc.
There are situations when it is necessary to use the backlight in places where it is difficult to supply power or inconsistent lighting is required, which would function only if people are in this area. For these purposes, the use of LED lamps with a motion sensor on batteries is provided.
Such devices operate on 4 batteries (AAA batteries) and have 6 LEDs in their device, which are capable of creating fairly powerful lighting. A feature of luminaires with a motion sensor is the duration of operation (the batteries last for 2.5-3 months), as well as the ability to adjust the brightness, the off-delay time and the sensitivity of the motion sensor.
The main parameters of lighting with motion sensor:
- operating voltage – 3V;
- the duration of the work of the LEDs in the “to failure” mode is more than 80,000 hours;
- setting the brightness of the glow;
- setting various shutdown delay modes (20, 60, 90 seconds);
- sensor sensitivity – up to 3 m, angle of 90 degrees;
- 65 mA power consumption – in operating mode, 0.35 mA – in standby state.
The use of this kind of lamps includes lighting staircases, dark corridors, halls, storerooms, dressing rooms. Such lamps are appropriate in homes where families with children live: a child at night may not be afraid to go to the kitchen or toilet room. In addition, such lighting devices can perform the function of emergency lighting.
Emergency lighting devices are used in emergency conditions to evacuate people or in cases when the mains voltage is disconnected. The main feature of LED emergency lighting luminaires with battery is the ability to function independently of the power supply. The autonomous power supply unit is charged from the mains when it is supplied in the normal mode.
There are several modifications of LED battery lights for emergency shutdown:
- intermittent – these devices only work when the main power is turned off. When voltage is applied to the network, it is used only to recharge the built-in power supply. Duration of work in emergency mode is from 1 to 4 hours, depending on the capacity of the battery model;
- continuous operation – when there is a power outage, such luminaires automatically switch to offline battery operation. This allows them to be used not only as emergency ones, but also as lighting of rooms where frequent power cuts are observed;
- combined – such devices have a system of several lamps, some of which work only from the mains in the presence of voltage, others – only from the power supply in the absence of electricity.
Emergency power supplies for LED luminaires can be mounted in their housing. If the free space in the luminaire housing is limited, it is necessary to provide for models of smaller batteries or install the power supply unit in an additional independent housing.
Helpful advice! When using emergency luminaires with a battery, their operating temperature should be taken into account, since power supplies are quite sensitive to temperature changes.
The main use of emergency lighting is public places: shopping centers, administrative buildings, childcare facilities, hospitals, sports complexes and other facilities.
Taking into account the popularity of use in administrative, industrial and commercial premises of Armstrong suspended ceilings, lighting manufacturers have developed models of LED lamps, embedded in the ceiling design, without violating the integrity of the surface. Such lighting devices are easy to install and significantly save energy consumption.
The dimensions of the Armstrong ceiling fixtures are identical to the standard dimensions of 600×600 mm suspended ceiling tiles. Thanks to this, it is enough to install lighting in the cells of the suspended structure to arrange lighting. By the brightness of the luminous flux, LED lamps are guaranteed to replace two conventional fluorescent devices.
An important role is played by the environmental friendliness of LED lamps: unlike luminescent analogues, they do not contain mercury. In addition, when one of the lamps of the luminescent structure fails, the lighting device begins to emit a flashing light, which negatively affects the vision of people in the room. If the mains voltage is unstable, fluorescent lamps have to be changed frequently.
The price of the LED lamp Armstrong 600×600 mm produced by the company Novy Svet (Russia) is 1100 rubles. The 39 W luminaire is designed for 220V supply voltage, weighs 2.5 kg and has a built-in design. The high power factor of the LED luminaire (0.9) contributes to the operation of the lighting design without energy loss.
The cost of Armstrong lamps depends on the number of purchased devices. The greater the quantity ordered, the lower the price of one lamp. Many companies have discounts and sales. The minimum retail price is 980 rubles, wholesale prices are offered at 880 rubles. a piece. Products are warranted by the manufacturer.
