Spotlights for ceilings: features of choice and installation

In interior design, it is important to consider every detail. For example, much attention is paid to the creation of a lighting system in the room. Today, more and more point lights are used for ceilings, because with their help you can solve a number of problems.

Features

These small lighting devices are sources of bright directional light. With their help, you can visually raise the ceiling and thereby increase the volume of the room. The peculiarity of such devices is that they are compact, take up very little space. In addition, spotlights for ceilings can be used to focus on certain areas of the room. For example, by means of such illumination it is possible to allocate a working surface in the kitchen or to draw attention to niches. Such luminaires are functional, since they can be used not only in residential premises, but also in trade and exhibition centers - directional light with correctly selected brightness allows attracting attention to certain subjects, for example, at an exhibition.

Spotlights for ceilings

The price of these devices is quite democratic, and therefore they are chosen quite often for tension and suspended ceilings. The cheapest models will cost from 70 rubles, although they have the simplest design. Products brands such as Eco, Sapphire, Alpha, Opal, will cost an average of 700-1500 rubles, depending on the method of attachment and the type of incandescent lamp. However, it is very important to correctly build the lighting, because without it even the most original ceiling will not look spectacular. When installing point devices, it is necessary to take into account several points:

• If you use incandescent spotlights for gypsum board ceilings, you will need to think about two plans: the first calculates the height of the levels, and the second creates a layout for the lighting distribution. Otherwise, you can accidentally mount the device in the profile of fixing the drywall.
• Stretch ceilings are not resistant to high and low temperatures, so the canvas may sag. Accordingly, it is best to choose energy-saving lamps that are less heated and more economical.

Arrangement of spotlights on the ceiling

Since these devices have very small dimensions, they can be mounted in any area of the ceiling space. Very often they are used to illuminate a small part of a room or specific objects. Since the light beam has minimal narrowness, it is best to arrange spotlights with groups, and you can set the mode of switching in different order. In the kitchen, appliances can be mounted in headsets to focus on some part of the space.

Choosing point fixtures for ceilings, it is worth to build on not only the colors and brands, but also on their design and purpose. For example, in rotary instruments, the outer part of the body can be rotated, accordingly, one can change the direction of light. Such lighting designs are somewhat more expensive, but they have much more functionality.

Some fixtures do not have adjusting parts and are fixed inside the structure of the most tension ceiling, they can be arranged in groups. Such systems are used, for example, in lighting a bathroom or a toilet. At the same time, halogen lamps will give a brighter light, and they can be mounted even in a room with high ceilings. Filament lamps are more massive, the process of their installation is much simpler, and they can be used in rooms even with a high level of humidity.
