Stretch ceilings look beautiful and elegant, while they are very reliable and durable. The only thing they are no less afraid than contact with sharp objects is incorrectly selected lighting devices. You remember how light bulbs heat up? And the close arrangement of such a heat source will not benefit the thin canvas. To protect your stretch ceiling from sagging and dungeons, you must not just buy a chandelier that you will like and fit into the interior, but take care of choosing a suitable lamp.
What to pay attention to?
1.Lamp power. If incandescent lamps are used in the lighting device, their maximum power should not be more than 45 watts, for halogen bulbs this indicator is 35 watts. The ideal option would be point lamps with halogen bulbs for 220 V. The fact is that their installation will make it possible to save well in the future on the change of blocked transformers, which not only cost a lot, but are also located between the canvas and the ceiling, which means it is not easy to get to them. In general, the LED and energy -saving elements that secrete the smallest amount of heat can be called ideal.
2. Mirror reflector. It will be required only for halogen bulbs that provide focused directed light. In the absence of such an element, a directed flow of light can simply burn the canvas.
3. Plaphon. Its presence is necessary in the case of the direction of light sources up or to the sides. In addition, with this design of the device, it is important to observe the following rule: the distance between it and the ceiling should be at least 20 centimeters.
4. Design. Choosing ceiling lamps for an apartment with high ceilings, you can not limit yourself and safely give preference to hook structures. But for low ones, an option with ceiling mount will be preferable, it will help to save an already small space. To fasten such lamps, a special installation bar is used, fixed using ordinary screws.
5. The shape of the chandelier. It should be chosen based on the texture of the canvas. Permorrosphere will look advantageous on varnish material, the form of which will organically complement the reflection. For satin or matte PVC, restrained classic forms are more suitable.
