Today, people who want to follow modern interior design trends are thinking about purchasing spotlights. They are the most sought after.
Of particular interest are directional light fixtures designed to be mounted on the ceiling. And this is no coincidence: with the advent of suspended ceilings, this type of lighting is the most convenient, suitable and aesthetic for rooms. However, a directional light fixture can be placed not only at the top of the ceiling. It is very convenient to use it to highlight decorative elements. Often such lamps are used on steps, in cabinets, etc.
If the buyer is already in the mood to purchase spotlights, he should adhere to the following recommendations when buying and installing.
Recommendations for choosing the ideal option
To begin with, you should consider and decide which type of fixtures will be preferable - fixed or directional. The former will be ideal in general lighting, while the latter are greatfor quality accent lighting. For such fixtures, you can use both modern energy-saving lamps and halogen ones. The choice is up to the buyer.
The advantages of energy-saving lamps are clear from the name. And halogen ones are good because they give bright light, please with excellent color rendering, which provides “juicy”, beautiful shades, makes it possible to create almost any color effects. Halogen lamps use a specific gas that allows them to shine brighter without shortening their lifespan. If you use modern halogen lamps in fixtures with different scattering angles from the reflector, you can achieve the perfect result.
You should consider the optimal power for lighting a particular area.
Checking the dimensions for embedding
You should carefully read the manual and the inscriptions on the package. They indicate the parameters of the holes in the ceiling, which will be needed for the lamp. Do not "sculpt" directional light fixtures too close. The manual states what the minimum distance should be for installation. Be sure to leave some space (this is also indicated in the manual), because the recessed lamp needs cooling, which ensures air circulation.
The need for a transformer
For products with a power of 12 V, you will definitely need a transformer. Manufacturers usually supply suchlamps with transformers of the required power. If the instrument is not included in the package, please purchase it separately.
Recessed fixtures have a fairly simple installation system that even a beginner can handle. Manufacturers provide product with detailed manuals that can serve as a kind of instruction for installing and using fixtures.
