Diode tape for ceiling

Lighting plays an important role in the interior of the room. The use of LEDs has long been popular in the decoration of facades, shop windows, retail outlets, apartments. To achieve the same aesthetic result as with diode illumination, with gas discharge, mercury and incandescent lamps will not succeed. In addition, there will be difficulties with the installation, not to mention the short life.

Diode tape under a stretch ceiling - what is it?

LED strip - a soft tape made of transparent plastic, inside which there are diodes. Strips are not wide (0.8-1 cm), only 2-3 mm high. The advantages of diodes are obvious. The angle of their "work" is up to 140 degrees, that is, you get a soft scattered action. The power consumption is less compared to the usual kinds of light products, the brightness is not inferior, that is, you save considerably on power consumption. The tape can function up to 100 thousand hours. Impressive! Sometimes the cost of the product can scare away, but we note that they pay off in 1.5 years. Really effectively, this lighting looks on the ceiling. The diode band for tension ceilings starts working immediately, it does not need to flare up like a housekeeper.

How to choose a diode tape for the ceiling? It's not difficult if you know what result you want to get. The brightness of the product depends directly on the type of diodes. On the meter is 30-240 points (diodes). The contour highlighting requires a ribbon with a density of 30-60 diodes, "illumination" can be achieved with a band of 120 diodes.

What is the effect of creating models with a specific marking? SMD 3528 for 60 elements in the running meter is not too bright. Well suited for isolating the contours of gypsum plasterboard, the option is quite cheap. A model with the same marking, but with a density of 120 diodes will create a bright uniform luminous strip. SMD5050 more powerful, even 30 light points give a tangible backlight. The brightest ribbon, suitable for use in the decor of the ceiling is the SMD5050 with 60 diodes. The backlight is intensive, partially replacing the main type of lighting.

The ceiling lighting with a diode band can be monochrome or color (RGB). In addition, the work of such lighting can be controlled remotely at the expense of the controller. The IP mark indicates a protective silicone waterproofing coating. It is worth more than this product, but you can not be afraid that the system will fail if it gets wet.

Diode tape in the interior

The backlight can be general purpose, the target will place accents when zoning space. Designer lighting most often pursues non-pragmatic goals, is intended rather to make the room cozier.

To inscribe the structure in the ceiling, it is necessary to provide a special cornice. On the back side of the lighting tape is provided with a double adhesive tape, however, the surface where the backlighting will be degreased. This is especially true for suspended ceilings in several levels. Attaching the strip is extremely simple. Basically, the products are sold in coils with a length of 5 m. If the length should be greater, the connection will be parallel, remember the observance of the polarity. The power supply unit of 50 W (goes to 5 m of tape) is not difficult to disguise in the same gypsum board structure, which is an additional bonus. The set of devices will be minimal. You will need a diode strip, power supply, wires and connectors.

The color scheme is very diverse. White color (cold and warm) is neutral. White and green shades of the brightest, yellow, blue, red create a softer effect. RGB tapes are multi-colored, here you need a special controller.
