  • ecological purity;

  • the ability to control the degree of illumination by reducing the supply voltage;

  • high reliability, safety, vibration resistance;

  • no harmful effect of low-frequency pulsations.

High-quality ceiling led lights are preferred for apartments, houses where plastic and other flammable materials are used as decoration. This is a great solution for rooms with suspended ceilings.

Do not forget that the minimum distance from the edge of the wall to spotlights should be 20 cm, and from the seam of PVC - 15 cm. The ceiling lamp can be placed both symmetrically and asymmetrically.

In long rectangular rooms, place the spots along the ceiling. For spacious rooms, the “oval” scheme is suitable - a circular arrangement that maximally illuminates either the central part or the corners.

With a chandelier it is better to combine the angular arrangement in the form of semicircles.If you are not going to "arm" a chandelier, give preference to a cruciform pattern. For the visual expansion of square meters, use the "rectangle" sketch. For competent zoning there is no more optimal solution than the “arc”, which places the right accents in the interior.
