LED chandelier with remote control
At present, the automation of our everyday life is being introduced everywhere. Everyone's natural need is to be in comfort, and what could be more convenient than fulfilling small desires at the push of a button. It is worth starting small and paying attention to such an innovation as a light-emitting diode (LED) chandelier with a control panel. This device will be a nice addition to the decor in the living space, in entertainment venues and even in the office.
Peculiarities
The LED system is a light supply device. The main lighting elements in it are LEDs or diode lamps. A remotely controlled LED device has a number of advantages. An obvious and important advantage is that it seems possible to command the light from a certain distance. There is no need to get up and look for a switch.
You will be able to fully experience the dignity of remote control if one cold morning, being in a warm bed, suddenly wants to read. Or if you catch a cold or there is no way to break away from work, and it turned out to be a necessity to turn on the light.
Also, among the pleasant options of such lighting devices, it is worth noting that all models have different lighting modes. This will allow you to always keep the lighting in the room under control. After all, sometimes a bright light is annoying, but you don't want to sit without it at all. Then you can easily set the radiation intensity to the desired value, that is, turn on only a small part of the LEDs. Also, with the resulting dim lighting, it is much easier to put the children to bed. In addition to all the advantages, the LED accessory will turn out to be a safer and less energy-consuming device for the home.
Unfortunately, smart chandeliers have a drawback. The LEDs included in the design of the device cannot last forever, and replacing these components has a considerable price.
The chandeliers themselves with a control panel are much more expensive than conventional lamps. But it would be strange if you didn't have to pay for the amenities.
Models
And deciding nevertheless to ennoble the usual life with LED equipment with remote control, you need to know that there are a huge number of their various variations. And each of them has its own unique characteristic, which will probably make it possible to once again be convinced of the money well spent. According to the installation method, LED systems are divided into two types:
- ceiling;
- suspended.
A popular model, due to its low cost, has become a ceiling LED chandelier. It is often used to highlight the style of the interior. To this end, shops offer lamps of various shapes. Also, this type is inherent in rooms with low ceilings, since the fastening of such units is carried out close to the ceiling. Usually rectangular or round options are offered.
It is also worth paying attention to the hanging type, which can add sophistication and grace to any room. The suspended version is more suitable for spacious and wide rooms, since the controlled unit itself is mounted using a number of chains or strings.
In a miniature room, such a device will seem cumbersome, but without a doubt it will attract attention. A convenient feature is the ability to control the length of the chains.
Regardless of what type of lamp you like, all LED devices are united by the presence of diodes capable of emitting bright light. The light emission of such elements is several times superior to the lighting from the usual incandescent lamps. Also LEDs of LED lamps can be used in order to create accent lighting, as they allow you to focus the stream of light. They can also be installed in the bathroom, because the diodes are not sensitive to moisture.
An important distinguishing feature of LEDs is that they are capable of emitting light other than ordinary white. That is, you can change the boring white to informal red or some other shade. Moreover, the color change can occur smoothly, which is very important for the room atmosphere. This feature is used in many models of LED chandeliers.
Among the classic forms of LED chandeliers with remote control, there are such as:
- "plate";
- "Cake".
A plate chandelier, as the name implies, bears a certain resemblance to an ordinary plate. Adapting this shape will help increase the room space. The cake chandelier also lives up to its name and looks like a pastry cake hanging from the ceiling. Many modifications of this form can work both with energy-saving diodes and with incandescent lamps of limited power. Chandeliers of both shapes can be either suspended or overhead. Regardless of the shape and type of attachment, they are available with a color-changing LED backlight.
Multi-colored lighting will help to favorably emphasize parts of the interior or, on the contrary, hide some flaws. Colored lighting will not let the guests get bored at the holiday. And it will also prove to be an irreplaceable part of the nursery, being made in the form of a cake.
But a more unusual and interesting feature of the new LED accessories is the built-in music player. Yes, that happens too! Due to their uniqueness, such models will not be a cheap purchase. But if you understand the entire proposed functional range of such LED automation, its popularity will become quite understandable.
It amazes that music varieties with remote control absolutely do not lose in design to other models. Accordingly, speakers, a bluetooth module or a slot for a flash card are built into the design for playing music.
If it is possible to choose the intensity of the emitted lighting and choose pleasant music for this, absolutely the entire atmosphere in the room will be adjusted remotely at the request of the user.
To fully understand these unique lighting fixtures, you need to consider several build variations of these definitely noteworthy models.

But despite the smoothness, it is also not difficult to arrange a show with light and music on a holiday. Access to all options is provided from the remote control or on the modular block of the diode panel, that is, switching songs and lighting modes will be as convenient as possible. In addition to the usual slot for a flash card, you can use an SD phone flash drive. So an ordinary chandelier will compete with a music center or any other technique in the house.

Accessories and wiring diagram
Despite the fact that the market offers a huge number of different modifications of LED systems with remote control, they are all assembled of the same type from electrical blocks. The main and mandatory components are radio-controlled relay, controller panel and LED system. Depending on the model, the kit may also include a halogen lamp, a dimmer designed to adjust the tone of light, and so on.
Remote control LED devices are primarily an automated system. And such a system cannot exist without a special controller whose task is to receive signals from the remote control. The controller itself is an electrical relay consisting of a power supply, software and electrical switching.
Often, all control of the automation takes place from an electrical panel or a wall switch. In some models, it can be used to locate a lost remote control. The electrical panel includes the main relay control element - a radio transmitter. Depending on the model, the signal can affect the relay from a distance of 30 to 100 meters.
If it is of high quality, the walls will not obstruct the signal. The light can be turned off from any adjacent room.
Now the remote control is no longer a necessity. After all, remote control technology is not new. And phone app developers are improving their designs. Based IrDA, a well-known option for smartphones, applications have been created to control equipment from your mobile. So, in the absence of buttons for the light headset at hand, you can always use an Android application that replaces the remote control for the chandelier and turn on the light through your phone.
Having dealt with the components, it would be good to understand the principle of connecting a chandelier. There are practically no fundamental differences in the connection diagram of an LED system with a remote control and a conventional lamp. The LED fixture is also connected to the room wiring, but it is preferable that the wiring is made of a three-core cable. Then the system will be stable and not at risk of fire.
The switch is connected to the automatic device via a junction box. Further, the phase removed from the breaker must be connected to the control relay. The neutral wire must also be connected to the controller via a junction box. Further, in working form, by pressing the switch or by the action of the signal of the electrical panel on the antenna, the electrical relay is closed and opened. That is, the light is turned on, off, while the device does not fix what exactly the light was turned on.
Selection Tips
If you want to purchase an LED system with remote control, you need to know exactly the dimensions of the room in which it will serve.

In this situation, there is no need to overpay for additional functions. Also pay attention to the wattage of the LEDs. For spacious halls, you will need at least 200 L. For small corridors, 100 is enough.
Accommodation rules
Where the LED equipment will be located needs to be taken seriously and bear in mind several nuances that can become a problem. It is important to remember that the use of halogen lamps or incandescent lamps excluded if you are using stretch ceilings. Overheating from such elements has a negative effect on the PVC coating. The minimum distance of the ceiling from such light sources should be 40 centimeters.
Be careful when buying a lighting fixture for your bedroom. You will be faced with a huge number of superbly executed options. The bedroom is the one that gets special attention. It seems to be something personal, and people approach its arrangement with a reverent attitude. Try to carefully consider proposals with the so-called illumination of the "starry sky".

Rating of popular manufacturers and reviews
Of course, you can immediately recommend the most famous brands that have made their name on the market for a long time. But such European craftsmen as German Maytoni or american Led cree are designed for the corresponding standards, which have some differences from the Russian ones. If you do not mind money and time, then take a closer look at Maytoni. The technology produced in Germany has always been at its best.
Everyone wants to get quality at an affordable price. Therefore, Chinese brands are gaining popularity. The products of well-known Chinese brands are not inferior in quality, as they use worthy components in their assemblies, and also certify their production. We are used to saying “no” right away if we find out that the country of production is China.
Manufacturers from the Middle Kingdom have long learned to make quality products, they also have famous brands that can rightfully be considered worthy competitors of European manufacturers. In order not to run into a cheap low-quality chandelier when buying and not overpay for a brand, pay attention to the following manufacturers:
- Jazzway;
- Feron;
- Navigator;
- Camelion;
- Gauss.
No one is tempted to be wrong. Everyone wants to learn from the mistakes of others, so the strongest motivation for choosing a particular brand, no doubt, remains feedback from other buyers. Let's analyze some of them. Owners of systems from Mayoni believe that German chandeliers are excellent style, excellent performance, durability, and warm, completely stress-free light output. Among the shortcomings, the high cost of devices from this brand is noted.
At the same time, those who bought Chinese chandeliers Jazzway, emphasize their insignificant energy consumption, the brightness of illumination, which is not inferior to incandescent lamps, as well as the absence of flicker. But they also note the fragility of use. Speaking about the goods supplied to the market by the Feron brand, consumers are satisfied with a pleasant, bright light, convenience, and compactness. But there was also a case when, after a year, the LEDs stopped turning on, and the warranty service refused to accept applications.
Finally, a domestic representative Elvan. Among the advantages, users highlight the ease of installation, the availability of detailed instructions, as well as functional compliance with the description of the device. Talking about the cons of Russian LEDs, opinions were divided. Some have complaints about flickering light, others have no complaints at all.
