Suspended LED luminaires

If you need high-quality lighting of a large area of ​​a shopping complex or institution, a large office, hotel, school or university and at the same time save money, then LED pendant lamps will be the ideal solution for this purpose. Switching to LED lighting in any room will not only be one of the most affordable ways to save energy, but also a good opportunity to protect the environment. Today you can find LED lamps of any shape and modification.

When renovating a utility room or planning an office, lighting design will play an important role. For example, if you decide to make a suspended, plasterboard or stretch ceiling in your room, then the LED lamp will be the only correct solution for organizing lighting. This luminaire, with a light scattering angle of up to 180 °, is able to provide soft, even light in the foyer, corridor, office or wherever you decide to use it. The flickering effect in such a device is completely absent, that is, there will be no load on vision. However, for the general health of a person, LED pendant lamps for the ceiling are also absolutely safe, since they are made of environmentally friendly materials without the use of any harmful substances.

An incredibly slim luminaire body and an elegant exterior design can decorate almost any interior. To arrange your own space with maximum comfort, you can install it, for example, in your bedroom or living room, which will allow you to implement the most diverse and daring design solutions.

Such a luminaire is highly energy efficient, which can significantly reduce lighting costs. This is especially important when it comes to large retail or exhibition areas with a large number of built-in LED lights.

In any modern home, energy bills are second, if not first, in terms of value. Therefore, the decision to purchase LED ceiling lamps will not only significantly save on energy costs, but also meet all sanitary standards and environmental requirements. These LED luminaires do not emit ultraviolet radiation and do not contain mercury. You can also save additional money on the use of air conditioning systems in the summer, since the lamps do not generate heat at all. The LED is more durable than any other light source. It is resistant to heat and cold, vibration and shock. The operating temperature is practically unlimited. In addition to household purposes, LED lamps can be used in office premises and educational institutions, in warehouses, any production area.

It is recommended to use a pendant LED luminaire only in rooms that have a sufficient area, as well as a high ceiling height. This is necessary due to the small design features of these models: they are installed only on hangers or special cables.Therefore, the main direction of using these devices is large premises, railway stations, airports, large warehouses, office centers, car parks.

It should be noted that luminaires for the ceiling on cables or special suspensions can be used when organizing high-quality lighting, for example, in houses or an apartment of an apartment building. This is possible only under one condition - the size of the room must be appropriate. The ceiling height must be at least three meters.

Luminaires on special cables for residential premises have a much more beautiful and original design. Most often these are single-lamp products, but sometimes they are represented by linear types.

The design of products on cables allows its users to illuminate only a room that has ceilings of sufficient height for suspension. If, under such conditions, standard surface-mounted luminaires are used for the ceiling, then with the same light power, there will be very little light and you will have to use products with a higher light flux intensity.

This is one of the reasons for the creation of pendant lighting products.

All suspensions in this design play another role - this is the fastening of the lighting device. Through them, a power cable is connected to the luminaires. The number of LEDs in different models can vary significantly. It all depends on the basic dimensions of the device and on what level of light flux is required for sufficient illumination.

It should be noted that in some models the possibility of adjustment is provided. You can choose the intensity of the glow yourself. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that such linear luminaires for the ceiling are located at a considerable height, and therefore the switching of all operating modes is done remotely.

If your plans include the installation of LED lighting devices, then you should definitely take into account the key selection parameters:

• Lamp power. This characteristic is relevant for all types of devices.
• Main luminous flux. This is another parameter by which you can find out the brightness level.
• Varied color temperature. It is determined for industrial as well as office premises. Many experts strongly recommend choosing models with neutral, at least cold light.
• Color rendering index. Devices with LED, in general, are characterized by a standard indicator of 80-85 points. The acceptable limit, below which one cannot go down, is 80 points.
• The choice of the type of diodes. This indicator affects the quality level of illumination.

In addition to these basic parametric indicators of emitters, it is necessary to pay close attention to the main design features and functionality of the product.

It should be noted that the size of the luminaire, as well as the angle of dispersion of the luminous flux, play a significant role. If we take into account the fact that linear models on suspensions are installed only on the surface of the ceiling, then the last parameter is quite important, because it is the angle that allows you to find out the exact dimensions of the area for lighting. Many users choose round, bell or square shades, which not only perfectly diffuse light, but will suit all interior styles.

The supply voltage is also an important point. Basically, for high-quality operation of light sources that use diodes, a driver and a power supply are used.These two fixtures ensure that the lighting fixture is connected to a 220V power source. This is especially important in warehouses.

It is best to choose models that can withstand large fluctuations in AC voltage in your main power grid. It is quite simple to define these products. In any documentation for the device, the manufacturer must indicate the entire permissible voltage fluctuation range. They have a special ring that regulates all these troubles. Some of the linear luminaires can function without losing their lighting quality at a voltage of only 100-240 V.

The basic operating conditions of many devices are quite difficult (excessive dustiness in the room, high humidity, a very aggressive environment for work), therefore, the protection of products is another significant parameter. For office buildings, it is permissible to use IP23 or IP20. In other large rectangular rooms (huge production areas, large and small warehouses, various utility rooms), it is always better to use models that have a degree of protection greater than IP30.

A separate group is diode luminaires, which are intended for operation in rather harsh conditions. These devices most often have approximately the same dimensions as their not entirely protected counterparts. The degree of protection of these lighting fixtures is significantly higher than IP76.

In living quarters, high-tech or, for example, modern pendant ceiling lamps are most often installed.

For these styles of luminaires, elements of different types are provided:

• For suspensions, cables or a special chain are used.
• Shades that are attached to single-lamp lighting fixtures.
• Linear products that diffuse light well.

The design of the lighting fixture must be chosen taking into account what kind of light you need to receive, for example, directed or diffused. For directional light, you need to purchase an open version of the plafond. For the absent-minded, a closed model is suitable.
