Touch lighting

Artificial lighting is an integral element in any room, regardless of style, size, purpose and other parameters. Lighting fixtures not only fulfill an important function of filling a room with light, but also play a significant role as a decorative element. They are used to highlight certain accents by installing lamps near paintings, figurines, photographs and pieces of furniture. Also, lamps are indispensable during work or study in the dark.

In order to be comfortable in the room, it is necessary to adjust the brightness of the lighting. There is a need to install additional elements that have to be constantly monitored. For convenient use and safety, we have developed "smart" lighting. Further in the article we will talk about touch-sensitive lamps and their area of ​​use.

The modern market offers a wide range of "smart" light.

All products of this type can be divided into two subgroups:

• battery models;
• lamps powered by the mains.

Also, lighting fixtures can be placed on a wall or table or other flat horizontal surface. Depending on the type of lamp, the temperature of the light can be warm or cold.

Table lamps are most often used to decorate work areas, on a desk near a computer.

Wall-mounted options are most often mounted near beds, pedestals and other pieces of furniture. They are also installed in areas with a significant lack of natural or artificial lighting.

Touch lamps are actively used for home, office, study rooms. Lamps that turn on themselves are a common element for high-tech style - hi-tech.

Touch lights are equipped with special sensors that respond to movement. It is this element that distinguishes this type of luminaire from other products on the market. Thanks to the sensors, the lamps turn on and off automatically. This is very convenient, especially if the room has no windows or the room is located on the north side.

It is worth noting that the installation of touch lighting will significantly save money spent on electricity. Thus, "smart" light is not only convenient, but also beneficial. The lamp installation process takes little time and is not complicated at all.

To achieve the maximum level of comfort from the appliance, it is necessary to adjust such parameters:

• Circuit breaker tripping period.
• Response distance.
• Lamp sensitivity.

Today, touch-sensitive luminaires are widespread; LED models are especially popular. This type of lamp shines brightly and consumes a minimum of electricity. Given the rich assortment, buyers have the opportunity to choose the most convenient, practical and stylish option. It should be noted that the way of its installation depends on the modification of the lamp. Sensory room equipment can be purchased through online retailers or lighting point of sale.

In living quarters, smart light can often be found in the kitchen.When your hands are busy cleaning or cooking, touch-sensitive lights are just what you need. If children live in the apartment, a comfortable lamp will help the child pick up the fear of the dark.

A sensor that responds to touch is attached to the lamp housing. This element is connected to a device responsible for the volume of illumination and works on the principle of a standard capacitor. The luminaire body acts as a capacitor plate.

The capacitance of the capacitor increases as soon as the user touches the device. As a result of such changes, the sensor turns on and transmits a signal to turn on the light or turn it off. All these processes take an instant. It is worth noting that the energy-saving bulbs, which are supplanting the earlier options, are not dimmable in terms of controlling the brightness of the lighting.

When buying a device, it is necessary to take into account the type of lamp used for a particular luminaire. If the model is designed exclusively for fluorescent lamps, then the use of halogen or other options is strongly discouraged. Depending on the model, the lamp can have several modes of operation and types of switching on.

In specialized stores, new and improved models are increasingly appearing, which have a high frequency and fix the approach of a person at a longer distance. In order for the user to be able to customize the operation of the luminaire for himself, the developers equip the lamps with a number of functions.

If we are talking about a device operating from the mains and connected to a common system, after placement, it is necessary to connect two wires: neutral and phase.

Due to their compactness, practicality and convenient operation, "smart" light sources on batteries have gained great popularity. For convenient fastening, the device is equipped with durable adhesive tape or fasteners for self-tapping screws.

There are models on sale that turn on as soon as a person is at a distance of 3 meters. Depending on the type of device, the angle of coverage can be different, from 90 to 360 degrees. More detailed information about the characteristics of a particular luminaire can be found in the documentation for the device.

As a rule, 4 AA batteries are required to operate compact luminaires. The most commonly used light source is LED lamps.

If necessary, you can take the lamp with you on your trip. Such a device is also useful for people with vision problems. An additional light source that you can take with you to work in the office will make your workflow more comfortable and rewarding.

If you need to illuminate a shed or any other auxiliary lighting where there is no light, a battery-operated touch-sensitive light is ideal.

Despite the fact that LED lamps are the embodiment of modern technology, the theme of antiquity is still used in the manufacture of "smart" lamps. The "flame" lamp visually looks like a bowl with a fire burning in it. Of course, this is a skillful imitation, achieved through the play of light, textile material and other elements.
