What should be the lighting device for suspended ceilings
The choice of lighting for suspended ceilings should be treated with special care. They are made of polyester or PVC fabric, which stretches a few centimeters from the ceiling itself, and the material itself does not tolerate external influences.
PVC canvas does not tolerate temperatures above 80 degrees, it heats up and begins to stretch. The polyester fabric does not have the ability to stretch, but with prolonged exposure to light, it may change color (darken or turn yellow). This problem is also common if lighting fixtures are improperly installed, or high temperatures affect the canvas.
The right lighting for the stretch ceiling
For suspended ceilings there are special lighting fixtures, but if necessary, you can choose the appropriate lighting fixture among other models.
For this it is necessary to build on the following characteristics:
- It is important to note that the chandelier should be located at a safe distance from the canvas so that it does not heat up. In addition, lamps of the lighting device must have a certain power, and what we will tell later.
- Some types of lamps require the installation of power converters. Such lamps include, for example, LED and halogen. Many people mistakenly install this device in the empty space above the canvas, but this is a big mistake. Due to the absence of air circulation in this space, any converter quickly overheats and fails. Therefore, to install such a device, you need to prepare a special ventilated niche, and the wires to it are already held behind the canvas.
Choose a chandelier with shades
- Buying a lighting fixture costs prior to installing suspended ceilings. The luminaires are attached directly to the main ceiling, so before installing the blade, you need to prepare and install the fastening elements, and calculate where exactly the cut for the product wires will be.
- It is advisable to choose lamps with shades.80% of light is reflected in the smooth surface of the canvas. If you install lamps with open lamps, or shades pointing upwards, the light reflected in the canvas will literally blind the eyes.
- Luminaires with complex fixtures are not suitable for installation on suspended ceilings. This can damage the fabric once more, which is highly undesirable.
Spotlights in ceiling design
Despite these restrictions for suspended ceilings, lighting devices of various types are installed: spotlights, fan products, lighting devices with an intricate design and much more.

Lamps can also be different, each of which has its own characteristics. If you still want to install the product with the lights up, you can pick up your favorite light fixture, the main thing is to install a suitable lamp.
Kinds
- Incandescent lamps. This is the cheapest, but the most inappropriate option for a stretch ceiling. Such a lamp heats the air strongly and, if improperly installed, can damage the web. In order not to heat the suspended ceilings, the lamp must be installed at a distance of 25 cm from the surface. If the ceiling upwards, this distance is increased to 40 cm. In this case, its power should be a maximum of 60 watts.
Incandescent lamp with a power not exceeding 60 W
- Energy saving light bulbs. They practically do not heat the air and are perfect for such an occasion. Of the heating elements in such a light bulb only power converter. The only drawback of this lighting is the mercury vapor inside the bulb, and breaking it requires urgent precautions to be taken.
Take precautions with these lamps.
- LED. These are ideal lamps for installation. The air they do not heat, while shining very brightly. Many people prefer to choose low-voltage products, they do not need a power supply. If you install lamps for which it is necessary, you will have to make a separate niche for this unit.
Bright light from a small light bulb
- Halogen lamps. For such lamps with a directed stream of light up, you need to maintain a distance from the ceiling - 30 cm, if the lamp power is 35-40 W, 20 cm, if their power is 20 W, and 10 cm for lamps 10 W power

What are chandeliers?
Much depends on the size of the room. For example, if the area of the room is from 9 to 12 m2, it makes sense to install one classical chandelier in the center. If the lighting fixture can be hooked, its installation will not take much time. Just need to remember that some companies that are engaged in the installation of the canvas, free install one light fixture.
Classic chandelier in the center of the room
If the area of the room exceeds 20 m2, one chandelier can not cope with the lighting of the entire room. To do this, you need to install additional spotlights or ceiling lights that will illuminate the dead zones. If a room has an elongated shape, you can install two chandeliers at an equal distance from the wall.

Shape and size
All lamps, and for suspended ceilings, and for ordinary, are divided into two categories: vertical and horizontal.
- Vertical. Installed on ceilings above 3m. Their diameter can be from 20 to 50 cm, and the height of such a chandelier is close to 1 m.
Vertical chandeliers in the living room interior
- Horizontal. Installed in rooms with low ceilings (up to 3 m). The diameter of such a product should not exceed 1 m. It can have completely different forms, such as the classic multi-track form with the arrangement of the ceiling on the "branches", and more interesting design solutions. The advantage of such a lamp, it perfectly illuminates the entire room because of the uniform distance of the lamps from the center.
Horizontal chandelier for low ceiling
Individual choice
The cost of the lighting device depends entirely on its design, size and materials for manufacturing. Ceiling lamps are better to choose directed to the sides or to the bottom. Otherwise, it will badly affect the canvas. You should not be limited to modest and simple lamps, they can be decorated with elegant lampshades, glass pendants, and various beads.
The most common and interesting lighting option for a stretch ceiling - meeting all the requirements that are imposed on lighting fixtures. The crystal ware beautifully diffuses light with the help of its faceted elements. In addition, the crystal elements reflect the light and "play" highlights, reflected on the canvas.
Pyramid chandeliers
It is worth mentioning the pyramid shaped chandeliers, which are suitable for installation in the corridor, and are often used in museums, hotels and theaters. In general, the choice depends on what the home owners want to see.
Crystal product for unusual lighting
This chandelier will look great on the background of matte stretch ceilings. If you choose the lighting for the glossy surface of the canvas, it is better to give your preference to lighting devices in the shape of a hemisphere, as it is beautifully reflected in the glossy canvas and makes the room visually wider. A universal option for matte and glossy ceilings - many horizontal rozhkov products.
We pay attention to everything
The upper part of the chandelier and the ceiling should also be "beautiful." This is important, because in the glossy surface of the canvas for stretch ceilings, this part will be reflected. No wires or other parts spoil the visual characteristics of the product.
In addition, all fasteners and possible damage done during installation must be covered by the canopy. If you decide to buy a lighting fixture with upward directed shades, you should install special reflectors. Even if the device is placed at the correct distance, stains may still appear on the canvas over time.
This applies to both suspended ceilings and conventional. Many have black spots on the ceiling that look like soot if the chandelier with the ceiling-shaped ceiling lights is close to the ceiling. These are traces of burnt dust on the surface of the lamp.
Choose ceiling for your room style
If you still bought the product with upward shades, you need to purchase a suitable lamp. Energy saving and LED lamps heat up the least. The reflector is a chrome or stainless steel located above the lamp. It reflects light and prevents overheating of the web. When buying a chandelier you need to pay attention to the model with reflectors.
return to menu ↑Mounting method
The chandelier can be fixed in one of two ways of fixing:
- Suspended products. This mounting method involves the presence of a special hook, which is located in the ceiling. This hook can be fixed in the concrete ceiling. Fastened with clips in the empty space of the ceiling, or may be attached to a special plate, which is screwed to the ceiling. If you want to install the hook yourself to install the chandelier, then it is best to choose an anchor hook, which is securely fixed in the ceiling. This method is suitable for suspended ceilings. You just need to make a hole in the canvas, pass the hook that was previously lowered to the desired height through it, and pass the wires and hoses leading to the chandelier through the hole.
Suspension mount
- Overhead chandeliers. They are attached directly to the ceiling, and come complete with special mounts (brackets).
Mounting plate
The most common type of fasteners of all. It is installed for products with low weight, which are attached using special studs or side clips. Given that the stretch ceiling is located 5-6 cm from the main one, then the mounting film should be fixed so that it is at the right level. To do this, between the main ceiling and suspended one must install some kind of substrate. As it can be used wooden beam. Its thickness should be 5-10 mm less than the distance from the main ceiling to the canvas.
Mounting plate "cross"
Designed for mounting large and heavy lighting. The shape of such a device should be round, oval, rectangular or square. The installation principle is about the same as in the previous case. It is necessary to take plywood, the size of which is slightly larger than the cross itself, in the center we make a hole into which it is necessary to pass the wires from the chandelier. Plywood is attached to the ceiling using anchors for concrete, and the mounting crosspiece is attached directly through the plywood.
Planck "I-beam"
Designed for the most massive chandeliers. It is installed in the same way as the mounting "cross.
Surface Mount
Mounting strips "cross" and "I-beam" for installation requires special skills. In the ceiling of the canvas to make holes of large size, so for this work you need to call a professional. Otherwise, just choose another way to fix the chandelier.

The choice of lighting for a room depends on the interior of the room, and its size. A small room can be illuminated by a single light source; for a large room it is advisable to use several lamps. In addition to the division into horizontal and vertical, there are also chandeliers on the rod, which have successfully combined the advantages of both main types.
Chandeliers on the rod
Their charm is that the height of the product can be easily adjusted. Thus, together with the chandelier on the rod, you can always use incandescent lamps, or install this lighting fixture in a room with any ceiling height.

With horns, plates and suspensions
All of them are in demand among buyers and have both their advantages and disadvantages. The most common among them - chandeliers with horns.

Where exactly to install?
So that the whole room is lit evenly. And there were no dead zones left, it is necessary to choose the right place for the installation of lighting devices. Classic is the installation of a chandelier in the center of the room, but it works provided that the room has the correct shape. If the room is oblong, or the room is large enough, this method may not work.
One chandelier will not be able to fill the entire room with enough light. For such situations, you can use the installation of several lighting fixtures simultaneously.They should be located at an equal distance from each other, which will allow creating uniform illumination of the whole room.
Several lighting devices in the same room
But there are rooms that have a complex or irregular shape, what to do then? For them, you can use the following tactics: divide the room into functional zones, and separate them using light sources. For example, if it is a dining room combined with a kitchen, one chandelier will be located above the dining table, and the second directly above the working area of the kitchen.
Choosing a color
Choose the color of the lampshades should be based on the design of the room and the tastes of the owner of the house. But there are also a few rules of choice:
- If you choose the body and the ceiling of white color, it will help to make the room more light, and the lighting in the room will seem elegant and solemn.
White ceiling to create a celebration
- Peach, sand, "champagne", beige color, all this will make the room more comfortable and warm. This color of the ceiling more has to relax and rest, so these products are chosen for the bedroom or living room.
Calm shades in the interior of the room

Bright chandelier in the kitchen
- Green shades will be relevant to the work area in the house. This color has a positive effect on the performance and perseverance of the person. What is appreciated in the last century. Lighting devices of this color were hung over banks, various agencies and bureaus.
Shades of nature on your ceiling
- Brown. This color helps to maintain an atmosphere of comfort and tranquility in the room. The first association that comes to mind is the color of natural wood. A chandelier of this color will harmoniously fit into the rooms in Provence, Country or Japanese style.
- Products of strict black color will fit only into the modern and original interior of the room. In the classic rooms such design will look inharmonious.
Refined combination in modern style
Why do I need a bookmark?
For installation of lighting on a false ceiling. It is necessary to take care of the installation of a special bookmark under the chandelier, a kind of platform for the lamp. It is installed before the installation of the suspended ceilings themselves.
Round chandelier platform
Mortgage is made, most often, from thick plywood. Due to the high viscosity of the fibers, this material is considered the most durable and practical. If you want to somehow decorate the platform under the chandelier, you can install a polyurethane outlet.

During the selection of chandeliers for suspended ceilings should pay attention to the materials from which it is made. This characteristic will significantly affect the performance of the product, and its functionality. What materials are used for the manufacture of lamps:
- Metal chandeliers are popular because of their practicality. A metal product will last a long time and is easy to care for. The disadvantage of such a chandelier is its high price and large mass of the product. To install a metal fixture, you need a special mount.
- Glass models are also considered functional. From the merits of the product you can select a beautiful view and a wide selection of different models. The disadvantage is the difficulty of care. The fragility of glass is the only drawback that such chandeliers possess.During washing the cover is easy to break.
Beautiful appearance under the style of the room

How many horns should there be?
It depends on the size of the room. If a living room boasts an area of 18 square meters and more, you need to buy a chandelier with a minimum of 6 shades. In addition, there is a possibility that it will still require the installation of additional lighting, such as spotlights. If the hall is from 12 to 18 sq. M, you need to choose a chandelier with 5-6 shades.

The number of horns depends on the area of the room
Entrance hall
Going from the dark entrance to his apartment, we immediately get in the hallway. Especially if stretch ceilings are installed in this room, the choice of lighting should be taken with special care.
Original lighting in the hallway
It is recommended to install ambient light illuminators in the hallway. This may be, for example, chandeliers with frosted shades. You can also install chandeliers with upward light, although in such a situation, it is worth considering that the stretch ceilings do not tolerate exposure to high temperatures and deteriorate. Light reflectors can solve this problem, or the use of low power lamps. All these tricks will present the hallway with soft, pleasant lighting, and prevent the “dazzling” effect of bright lamps.
Lighting for a long hallway

To ensure maximum comfort during the use of lighting, you need to combine light sources into specific groups, each of which is switched on by its switch. It helps to use only the necessary part of the lighting, based on the specific situation. Equally important is the location of the switches. You need to find a convenient place for permanent use.

It is clear that for a square hallway to find a chandelier is easiest. Most people choose a central light source in the form of a chandelier for this situation. The more difficult question is what to do with the “G” shaped corridor. The most convenient and functional way to illuminate the corridor in this situation is to divide the hallway into functional areas. For each of these zones will need to select individual sources of illumination.
Several lights in the hallway
Many people prefer to use several main sources of light, such as chandeliers, and to complement them with several more additional light sources. Thus, it turns out to illuminate all corners of the room.
Types of lights for the hallway
To illuminate the corridor most often choose the following types of lamps:

For a large room, you must select several lighting fixtures, or combine a chandelier with spot lighting.
The shape of the device does not matter, it depends solely on the interior of the kitchen and the preferences of the hostess. If the kitchen is made in a classic style, you can choose a chandelier with shades in the shape of flowers, round or in the style of Provence.
