Designing the lighting system for the stretch ceiling occurs even before the start of installation work. Features of the design limit the selection of lamps, presenting certain requirements for them.
Main technical problems
By organizing functional lighting on the stretch ceiling, you can apply any of the existing types of lighting products. Arising from this difficulty three:
- Stretching surfaces are afraid of heating.
- Films and fabrics are deprived of bearing ability.
- Replace the equipment behind the ceiling is impossible without dismantling it.
Problems successfully solve the correct selection of light sources and compliance with the installation standards.
How to exclude overheating
Most lighting devices can work with different types of lamps, differently emitting heat. LED and fluorescent light sources are not split, so they are installed any power. When used in the lamps of tensioning ceilings of incandescent lamps, strongly warming up the surrounding space, the restriction is valid:
- For fabric - 60 W.
- For PVC-cloth - 40 W.
In order to avoid melting, the suspended plaffers with conventional light bulbs are placed at a distance of 25-30 cm from the surface. A large heat dissipation is characteristic of halogen lamps, a limit for them is a maximum of 35 watts. Voltage converters are also able to cause the tension ceiling heating.
FEATURES OF MONTAGE
In stretch systems, lamps are installed on mortgages attached to the capital ceiling. The design of the fasteners is different, selected to specific lighting devices and is thought out with the purpose of the smallest trauma of the canvas. It is worth abandoning the "cheap" chandelier with a deliberately complex fastening system. All additional equipment is lowered from the ceiling into wall niches, where it becomes available for service and cools more efficiently.
Chandelier and stretch ceiling
Here are some tips for choosing a suspension lamp:
- Chandelier Type "Plate" is suitable only in a variant with LED or energy-saving lamps.
- It is better to take models with light bulbs from above, which avoids dark spots on the stretch ceiling.
- It is preferable to choose the chandeliers of a simple configuration, simplicity - the guarantee of reliability.
- Well, if there is a protective plate in the design of the lamp, separating the device from the ceiling.
Selection of point lamps
The minimum thickness of the undercover space required to place the built-in lamps is 35-40 mm. This size happens at the "tablets" - special LED emitters of light. However, some models will need more space, up to 120 mm. Save the useful height of the room embedded partially lamps, and below the canvase is a significant fragment of the device. In addition, the flanged extended gives more heat into the room and can be equipped with powerful lamps. Built-in lamps should have an opaque case so that the light does not get behind the ceiling. Otherwise, all wires and irregularities of the main ceiling will be visible through the translucent canvas. For stretch ceilings, stamped models of embedded luminaires equipped with a thermal tape are used.
When choosing lighting equipment, the quality of the products does not neglect, saving a penny on the trifles, you can spoil quite expensive stretch ceiling.
