• a huge selection of various design options - you can choose any colors, designs, patterns and patterns;
• low energy consumption;
• the ability to adjust the brightness of the lighting due to the presence of electronic control panels;
• practicality and long service life;
• little heat;

Stretch ceilings made of aluminum discs are less popular. Lighting elements can be both LEDs and optical fiber. It is possible to program and configure the inclusion of various lighting effects using a special control panel.

There are several types of glowing wallpaper.

• Fluorescent wallpaper are produced with three-dimensional images, the material of manufacture is polyester. The glowing effect of the wallpaper is given by special lamps, also called "voodoo lamp". Images on such wallpapers look as realistic and effective as possible. Gluing wallpaper can be done in the same way as usual.

• Silver wallpaper developed quite recently, taking into account the latest technologies. Silver acts as a lighting element.There is a possibility of remote control of the glow.
• Luminous wallpaper great for use in any room - bathroom, hallway, living room, bedroom. Most often, these wallpapers are used to decorate the ceiling in a children's room. The design is usually made in bright colors using acrylic paint with the addition of a special substance - phosphor.

With the help of these paints, it is possible even to independently create your own unique masterpiece - to depict the night sky with the moon and many stars and comets that will glow in the dark. This ceiling design will look fabulously beautiful.

These paints are water-based. with the addition of fluorescent pigment. The substance is completely safe and will not harm human health.

To create a luminous ceiling using these paints, you need to select several selected shades, purchase or make stencils yourself, buy sponges and brushes.

On the ceiling, you will first need to apply a primer and a base coat of ordinary paint. After the base coat has completely dried, the luminous design can be applied. During the day, elements painted with glowing paint absorb light, and at night they release energy through the glow.

This ceiling design option will not be able to serve as a source of lighting for a room, but it will create an amazing, magical and unique design.

Today, you can easily find special luminous stickers in the form of stars, months and planets on sale. Also popular are sets of stickers made of hearts, flowers and butterflies.

Such stickers are great for decorating not only the ceiling, but also any other surfaces. The surface material can also be any (drywall, plaster, etc.), because the stickers are perfectly attached to any ceiling covering.

It is also very important to think over the location of each sticker in advance, since after gluing them, it will be extremely problematic to make adjustments.

The glowing effect of the stickers is ensured by their ability to store energy from sunlight or artificial light from lamps. When the room gets dark, the stickers start to glow and release the accumulated energy. For the stickers to glow for several hours, it will be enough to turn on the light for literally 5-10 minutes.
