LED Wall Lights

Recently, interior lighting has acquired a completely different framework. Thanks to a professional design approach, the lighting of the room is transformed into art, through which a cozy atmosphere is created. In addition to the main luminous flux, an obligatory attribute of the design is additional light. Among the huge selection of products offered, wall-mounted LED lights are particularly popular with customers. They stand out against the background of other light sources and have a lot of advantages.

Features and benefits of diode lighting

LED wall lights - the best reception room design. With their help, you can highlight a specific area or hide the disadvantages of the room.They are distinguished by bright light, so they perfectly cope with the task of lighting the desired part of the space, give a soft, muffled light, if the situation requires it. Products are made of different materials, among which the most popular raw materials are metal, plastic, wood and glass.

They have a lot of advantages, they are:

  • most models have a dimming function, allowing to save the electric power at a large number of lamps;
  • differ in distribution, lighting different area (indicated in the passport);
  • are key design elements the interior of the room, making it a special relaxing atmosphere and a feeling of home comfort;
  • suitable for lighting different rooms dwellings (bedroom, nursery, living room, study, hallway, bathroom, garage);
  • have a wide range of, allowing any design interior decoration of the room, having a classic look or thematic focus;
  • successfully fit into any interior style rooms (minimalism, Provence, modern, high-tech, country, vintage, Arabic, oriental, avant-garde, glamor, etc.), being the relevant final touch of the design;
  • different in size, thanks to which they are suitable for premises of any type, even of small size;
  • have a different designthat allows the use of lamps in different types of premises (housing, industrial premises, common areas, on the street);
  • have a different type of cap, so you can easily replace the lamp, choosing the most convenient option to create the luminous flux of the desired volume;
  • can be used in walls of any type with different finishes (they do not heat up, therefore they do not melt the installation area);
  • depending on the model imply a different location (they can be single room accents or pinpoints that compose a composition on one or all walls);
  • have a unique body, providing instrument reliability and efficiency;
  • differ in costbased on the cost of components, size, design and method of production, which allows you to choose your favorite model, taking into account the taste and the budget available for the purchase.

LED wall lamps are recognized as the best interior decoration. Having high durability,the quality of the distributed flow (no flicker and resistance to abrupt voltage surges) and a different wiring diagram, they combine the best performance of other analogues.

Minuses

Unfortunately, LED lamps give a luminous flux exclusively in one direction, they can not completely and evenly fill the entire room with them, as the main (ceiling) chandeliers. For proper light distribution, an accurate calculation of the power and number of elements is needed.

Despite the fact that they work for quite a long time (designed for 100,000 hours), after 3–4 years of intensive loading, the brightness of the light bulbs gradually decreases.

Models with a serial connection circuit when the circuit is broken due to a single element burning out stop working. They are worse than analogs with a parallel connection, the LEDs of which work until the exhaustion of their resources.

An unpleasant nuance is the cost of LED lamps: their price is 5-6 times higher than the luminescent (energy-saving) counterparts, due to the presence of current-limiting resistors.

LED characteristics

Depending on the particular light source,characteristics of wall-mounted LED luminaires are:

  • power consumption - 2 - 30 W;
  • temperature shade of a light stream - 2700 - 6700 K;
  • type of performance - E14, E27, G5, G13, GU4, GU5.3;
  • voltage - 12 (permanent) - 220 (changeable).

Radiation power of LED wall lights is much more incandescent bulbs. Moreover, the percentage of consumption is very low, and the return is high. LED bulbs do not heat up like incandescent bulbs. They shine brighter: a 2 W lamp corresponds to a 20 W incandescent lamp, 12-15 W equals 100W, 25-30 W - 200 W of the usual Ilyich light bulb.

This is the so-called LED-lamp, which today is the most popular light source. It has a different type of bulb (pear-shaped, conical, spherical, krypton, spherical, reflex, tubular). LED-lamp is safer than fluorescent: it does not emit mercury vapors in the process of work, it is resistant to repeated switching on and off, unlike the energy-saving analog, which is many times more incandescent lamps.

Colour

The temperature of the luminous flux is one of the advantages of LED lamps. These wall lamps have a characteristic with a wide range of emitted light, indicated on the Kelvin scale, due to which,You can choose the level of naturalness of the desired room lighting from yellow to blue:

  • yellow - 1800 - 2600 K;
  • moderately warm - 2700 - 3700 K;
  • neutral - 3800 - 4700 K;
  • cold white - 4800 - 5600 K;
  • cold blue - 5700 - 6600 K.

Such wall lamps are different from ordinary lamps: they relieve tired eyes, gently distribute the luminous flux, have a pleasant design and do not take up much space, perfectly combined with the central chandelier and spotlights.

Kinds

LED wall lights are varied. By type of power source, they differ in the switch and are:

  • stationary;
  • battery operated.

Different and exterior models. They can be linear, laid on, pivotal, dotted, represent a panel, a “brick”, a long flexible strip with LEDs, which can be easily positioned anywhere, highlighting any desired area.

According to the functional, they are:

  • with motion sensor;
  • with remote control;
  • with sound sensors (night lights for babies);
  • with built-in melodies, projection, recording and playback function (night lights);
  • with swivel mechanism.

By type of construction, directional light models are divided into:

  • indoor lighting - The sconces on the leg-bracket, which fixes the lampshade or the ceiling;
  • near surface - ceiling-lighting, pressed to the wall, saving space, but not having the function of adjusting the brightness of the light flux;
  • built-in hanging - models with installation in the wall, equipped with a stationary or swivel head;
  • spots - directional models of metal or plastic, embedded or surface type, with a swivel mechanism that allows you to direct the luminous flux to where you want the user.

By type of lighting LED wall lights are:

  • direct lighting (built-in type);
  • reflected (suspended);
  • direct and reflected simultaneously (pendant);
  • asymmetrical (wall lighting models).

The form

The range of wall lamps is multifaceted. The form is standard, classic or non-standard.

Models are divided into several areas:

  • office;
  • workers;
  • decorative;
  • children.

Each group has its own characteristics. Home options are more attractive.Models to illuminate the desktop adhere to the functionality, so they look simple, having a round, oval, sometimes square lamp with a leg or without it.

Varieties for children are unique and allow you to make the room a special atmosphere breathing the world of childhood. The most interesting models are a variety of thematic designs in the form of illuminators. These LED accessories have an unlimited format design. Particularly noteworthy models are options in:

  • nautical style;
  • flower theme;
  • in the form of toys and cartoon animals;
  • projectors with colorful drawings and space images;
  • the topic of sports;
  • form of heavenly bodies.

The uniqueness of the design allows you to create a relaxing atmosphere in the child’s room, which is especially important before bedtime. In addition, some functional LED lamps located on the wall are able to “lull” the kid, offering him the attention of multicolored pictures with a good theme smoothly sliding along the walls.

This helps to relieve tension in children who have a fear of the dark or a stressful condition caused by the events of the day.

Color solutions

The color solutions of wall mounted LED lamps are diverse and are subject to the general idea of ​​interior design. Models for children differ cheerful colors and flight of fancy. They are divided into three groups:

  • for girls, with characteristic pink, white, lilac, maroon, mint shades of decorative elements;
  • for boyshaving blue, blue, red, beige colors in the design of the ceiling or lamp shade;
  • universaldesigned for both sexes (green, brown, steel, white, turquoise).

Options for adults are simpler, performed in white, black, gray tones with a metallic sheen. However, designers recommend avoiding gloomy tones when buying, especially the plafond: the luminous flux dissipates worse, and the look of such a lamp looks depressing against the general background.

Application options

  • to illuminate the hallway and corridor;
  • as a light source in the bathroom or toilet;
  • for compositional emphasis on play or sleeping areas of a child’s room.

How to choose LED-models on the wall of the room?

When choosing a model of a wall lamp of class LED, you need to take into account a number of factors, among which matter:

  • type of room or accent of a specific area (it is important to take into account the dimensions of the area, the height of the ceiling, otherwise the lamp would be inappropriate on the general background);
  • model size (it should not create a visual advantage in relation to the chandelier);
  • availability of dimming functions luminous flux and turning mechanism (adds convenience and comfort in operation, allowing you to change the degree of brightness and the angle of light scattering at will);
  • compatibility of the temperature of the light flux and style with the lamp of the main lighting;
  • simplicity and ease of installation design with the ability to easily replace burnt out lamps;
  • flawless operation of the mechanism of switching on and off;
  • the strength of the lamp, high-quality assembly and reliable components that are resistant to mechanical damage.

The choice should be accurate: there is always the opportunity to see the model for quality and defects, to evaluate the work of the lamp. When buying a product supplied with documentation that informs the buyer about the characteristics of the model, purpose (for home or street use), the manufacturer's data.

Beautiful interiors of apartments

Wall lights look good almost everywhere. However, if they are single room accents, they need support through other items of interior.

The rotary suspension lamp of black color in the minimalism style will perfectly fit into the interior of the light room, illuminating the reading area on the sofa, having support in the form of a pattern of a picture or a dark plaid;

The near-surface ceiling-lightings look harmoniously against the background of the interior in beige-sand tones, having a golden edging of the structure, composing a composition of three different sizes of the same model;

Original spotlights-LEDs will create the right atmosphere, emphasizing the accents of the wall with fancy figurines, for full harmony with a similar light support on the ceiling;

Linear lamps are able to identify individual design strokes, visually increasing the height of the walls and creating a soft evening glow;

The square-shaped model with an abundance of luminaries will perfectly cope with the selection of the dining area, creating a relaxing atmosphere if its luminous flux is as close as possible to the main ceiling in terms of temperature.
