Important advantages of lighting elements

For the device of auxiliary lighting in interiors, it is LED devices that are popular, consisting of a semiconductor element and a power source suitable for voltage. The list of their advantages is relatively wide:

long service life;
energy saving;
lack of strong heating during active operation;
compact size;
clear directionality of the rays;
no flicker.

Helpful information! The relatively high price can be the most significant disadvantage. As for other flaws, they cannot be considered significant.

Consideration of the main types of devices

The classification of LED ceiling lights can be made depending on the position. Usually, devices are built directly into the structure, placed on a surface or suspended at a certain height. There are no other options.

Round surface-mounted luminaire

Surface mounted LED ceiling lights for home

Such devices are fixed directly to the upper part of the room using self-tapping screws or dowels. They have a housing with cartridges, wires and adjusting devices. Ordinary glass or a diffusing grille is usually inserted into the body itself.

Overhead appliances of different power

The main advantage of the devices is their ease of installation. However, the base for the attachment must be reliable. After screwing in, the fixing elements are hidden by the shade. Electrical connection is carried out after final installation.

Recessed LED Downlight Downlights

There are devices that are embedded directly into the ceiling structure. With this option, you need to decide on the location of the elements in advance. In this case, the wires are located under the casing. The main advantage of such devices is the aesthetic appeal of the backlight system.

The attached photos of LED ceiling recessed downlights will help you evaluate the external characteristics. After installing the devices, you can only see the front surface through which the light stream passes.

The front side will remain outside

Special holes are prepared directly for the devices. Wires are laid through them. At the final stage, the product is connected to electricity, after which it is inserted into the prepared opening and fixed in it.

With the help of round LED ceiling lights that are integrated into the ceiling structure, the perception of space can be changed. You can visually expand a narrow room if you install a whole group of elements on both sides of the side surfaces.

Pendant LED Ceiling Lights

Pendant type fixtures are ideal for spot lighting. Their peculiarity lies in a kind of fixation method. Fastening is carried out by means of special hangers. The height of the product can be adjusted by changing the length of the cable.

In the gym, devices are suspended on special cables

Suspended ceiling LED home lights are used when special effects are needed. They have a stylish look and compact size. The body of such lighting elements is made of metal or polymer materials. The diffuser lens can be made of polycarbonate or regular glass.

Pendant lights are used in kitchen decoration

Some recommendations for choosing

With a balanced approach to the purchase of LED devices for the ceiling, you can achieve a high-quality result by highlighting functional areas successfully or creating a certain background. When choosing, it is necessary to be guided by technical characteristics and aesthetic capabilities.

LED devices for decorating large rooms

When purchasing LED ceiling lights for stretch ceilings, preference should be given to built-in products. They look impressive after installation. In combination with them, suspended analogs can be used to illuminate specific areas.

Helpful information! It is not recommended to buy devices at too low a price. Usually, the cost can be reduced due to low-quality components.

Approximate price of recessed spot LED ceiling lights

To make it easier to navigate in price categories, it is suggested to look at a special table that reflects leading manufacturers and the cost of their products.

Spot lighting is used in the hallway

Note! The organization of spot lighting with embedding of elements directly into the upper structure is inexpensive. One device is usually installed on 1.5 sq. m of ceiling area.

About wiring
When the devices are selected for installation in the room, it remains to correctly organize the electrical wiring diagram. When designing it, you should take into account the main points and methods of connecting cables to lighting devices. Before laying the wires, indicate the location of the elements on the ceiling.
Basic element connection diagram
If LED devices are designed for a voltage of 12 or 24 volts, then to connect to the main network, you will need to purchase a power supply. Its power is selected taking into account the load created by all devices.The scheme of parallel connection of lighting elements is mainly used when there are several groups, each of which will be controlled separately using two-gang switch.

Additional recommendations
for bathrooms and other rooms with high humidity, special moisture-resistant devices should be used;
fixtures must be installed so that the luminous flux does not fall on the ceiling surface;
for concealed installation, it is best to purchase low-voltage and highest quality products;
when choosing a product, it is necessary to take into account the power consumption, the level of luminous flux, the temperature range and the degree of protection;
if there is a need to purchase a power supply unit, then special attention must be paid to the output voltage;
the wiring should be laid in compliance with general safety rules to exclude the possibility of fire;
to hold the cables, it is advisable to use special plastic clamps and nail brackets;
point elements can be successfully combined with LED strips or panels to achieve a powerful aesthetic effect.
When pulling wires, special clamps may be used
Summarizing
The use of LED ceiling lights in homes and apartments allows for efficient and multi-stage lighting. With their help, unique and safe lighting systems are arranged that can function for many years.
