How to make a ceiling with backlit

Ceiling lights with LED ribbon, halogen lamps and luminescence - one of the most winning techniques in interior design. And although these techniques are used abroad not so often, we only increase the popularity of such design. This technique is desirable to use in some styles of interiors - High-tech, techno, expressionism, futurism, fusion and others. The question is how to make a ceiling with backlight yourself, relevant, and there is nothing difficult in it.

The highlighting varieties: point diodes, halogen lamps, LED ribbon, neon lamps and duralite with incandescent bulbs. Ribbon illumination gives the most even dispersion, it is produced in all shades of the rainbow spectrum.

The backlight of the upper plane of the room should be somehow justified. This is the overall idea of \u200b\u200bthe designer, the optical illusion, the style of interiors, the light zoning, the specificity of the task or the absence of the possibility of placing the lamp on the ceiling. For example, when instead of the ceiling - a glass sphere.

Features of the ceiling backlight:

Duplex plasterboard ceilings may have a combined backlight - the starry sky effect in the center and halogens at the lower level along the edges.
Stretch ceilings will also decorated under the starry sky, while in different ways.
The easiest way to restrict ourselves to the LED ribbon around the perimeter. The glossy and matte fabric of the stretch ceiling will give absolutely different effect.
The backlight form an additional amount of space - in niche and deepening. In the center of the ceiling, you can create a feeling of sphericity.
Interesting decorative effect - smooth backlight from under ceiling eaves. Soft cold neon flows down the fabric falling to the floor, scattering along the way.

Not every way of backlighting the ceiling is suitable for self-installation. This is professionally engaged in specialized LED studios. However, there are several simple methods that the instructions will love even a beginner. Before making a ceiling with backlit with your own hands, it is important to choose the view of the backlight and the installation method. Consider their varieties and laying the LED tape around the ceiling perimeter.

By purchasing a tape in the building materials store, do not forget about additional components. This is a power supply, controller, wires for connecting and plug into an additional outlet. It is best to power the backlight at a separate point.

Decide where you hide from extraneous eye all structural elements. The controller for color management is not needed in one-color backlight, and the power of the unit will tell the consultant of the construction supermarket. The LED ribbon is proposed in rolls of 5 m with different density of diodes: 30, 60 and 120.

When the stage of choosing the lighting material is resolved, all measurements are made, the LED tape is purchased, you need to carefully read the instructions for it, to properly stored and connect.

At a large perimeter, up to 10 m are used parallel to 2 rolls. For the simplest installation, it is enough to fasten the tape on the polystyrene cornice, mount it on the wall at the ceiling and connect the design to check. The controller and the power supply must be hidden near the outlet, for example, in the closet, on the rack or the curtain. You can use the imitation of the brain under these goals.
