We tell how to choose lamps, arrange them on the stretch ceiling and give step-by-step installation instructions.
Installing lamps in the stretch ceiling does not require work experience. This technique will solve the problem of dark sides and corners. The chandelier, no matter how brightly she was burning, is not able to cope with this task. Bra and lamps create shadows. Point devices (SPOT) are deprived of this shortage. They are evenly distributed throughout the ceiling or assembled in certain areas. Modern switches allow you to adjust the intensity of the lamp operation, turn on and off separate blocks. Uniform lighting is most comfortable for eyes - dark zones are missing, and the central source is not necessarily too bright.

Selection of lighting devices
Devices differ in size and design. They complement the chandelier or completely replace it. The last reception is suitable for placing a low ceiling. The housing is made of plastic and aluminum, less often from plaster. The form is usually round, but happens and square.
By way of fastening
- Overhead structures - the hull stands for the level of the stretched film. The base can be located below. It is mounted on a horizontal platform, which is attached to the ceiling plate on screws. The height of the site coincides in terms of film height. A hole is cut into PVC. So that it does not spread, it is wrapped in the edges by the clamping thermal tape, performing the role of the frame. In addition, it protects material from overheating. Then the base is screwed. Static models are manufactured, as well as devices with a rotary mechanism, allowing you to change the direction of the ray direction.
- Built-in - they do not protrude for the level of stretched coating. It is put in framed hole and snapped with a special spring. The canvas will not be able to place as high as in the case of overhead designs. This creates certain restrictions for apartments with low ceilings. In addition, the spot will need less time for heating and more for cooling. Rotary mechanisms for cartridges with this installation method are not used.
Fastening the lamp to the stretch ceiling does not take a long time. Even unprofessional will cope with work. It will not have to embed anything to the overlap, besides, the panel is prohibited. The base holds on ordinary screws and dowels.

By type light bulb
- Incandescent lamps during operation, they are very heated. There is a risk that plastic is melted around them. PVC melting point is about 60 degrees.
- Energy saving is warm weaker. They are completely safe for plastic, consume a lot of energy when turned on. When working, the flow is significantly lower.
- Halogen is basked pretty much. They are rarely installed due to cold uncomfortable color. This option will suit more for the utility rooms.
- LED lamps allocate little heat, consume little electricity.
On the temperature of light
The color of the radiation stream is considered one of the most important parameters. Manufacturers indicate it on the package. Each shade corresponds to the radiation temperature expressed in Kelvin (K). Its influence is difficult to assess, looking at glossy photos - for interior shooting Professional photographers use outbreak and bright sophisticates. But for designers, this factor is very important, because the color depends on it all parts of the room, as well as its functionality.

3 main colors
- Warm yellow (up to 3,700 K) - It is most pleasant for the eyes. Such a shade creates the atmosphere of comfort in the house. It is characteristic mainly for incandescent lamps. Perfect for a bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom. It should be used carefully because it is able to "repaint" objects and decoration. So, for example, light blue it turns into a green, purple - in red.
- Neutral white (3,700-5 200 K) - characteristic of halogen and fluorescent devices. He does not distort the perception, so it is best suited for a cabinet, hallway, a working area of the kitchen.
- Cold blue (from 5 200 K) - incandescent lamps with such radiation temperature are not available. It is believed that cool tones increase concentration and increase performance. Therefore, they are recommended to use in the cabinets, above work areas. They are well harmonized with finishing of bathrooms and utility rooms. Cold rays are rarely used in the classic interior - they are more suitable for High-tech style. You need to be prepared for the fact that they repaint the natural colors of items and finishes.
How to position the devices
There are several options for installing lamps on a stretch ceiling. Before starting the installation work, it is necessary to thoroughly think over all the details. The location of the instruments, their connection and technical parameters are included in the project documentation. It is developed when reorganization or redevelopment. In this case, its creation should engage in a specialized firm with an appropriate license. If there are no changes to the serviceport and the BTI plan, it is not planned to make it possible to make an accurate calculation and draw the wiring scheme and location of light sources.
The devices are uniformly throughout the surface or are made with their help individual zones. Constructions are single-level and multi-level, located in two or more planes.
The amount and power of spots depend on the room. For calculations, it is possible to use technical standards for illumination developed for incandescent lamps. Regulatory capacity is also different depending on the device.
Regulatory capacity for energy-saving lamps
- Bedroom - 3 W / m2
- Children's - 13 W / m2
- Bathroom, Cabinet, Living Room - 4 W / m2
Standards for LED Lamps
LED devices consume third-less energy. One source of illumination is enough by 1.5-2 m2. The minimum distance between them is 0.3 m. The distance to the wall should not exceed 0.2 m, to the seam on the PVC coating - 0.15 m.

Planning
The most important stage. It depends on it whether it will be possible to fully finish the work started. The wiring circuit includes the location of the lamps, switches, distribution units, fastening clamps, special equipment. It will takes the calculation of the cross section of the wires.
Cables should go strictly vertically or horizontally. Distribution boxes need to provide access. It is allowed to close them with a lid or a removable box. It is more convenient to use a revealing flap or door.

Tools and consumables
It is advisable to prepare them in advance. For work you will need:- Cables and wires.
- Clamps to mount wiring to overlapping.
- Screws and dowels fixing the cable.
- Pencil, feltaster or chalk to make marking.
- Screwdriver Set.
- Construction knife.
- Passatia.
- Roulette.
- Perforator or drill with shock mechanism.
- Flexible steel suspensions or perforated tape, if their use is supposed to be installed on the platform. The platform itself, like the thermocol, is included in the product package.
Mounting platform
First prepare the platform. Some models are a plane consisting of several rings. Excess inner rings are cut off with a construction knife.
The base is attached to overlapping with adjustable brackets, flexible suspensions or profiled tape. The suspension is a steel plate with screw holes. It is flexed in the form of the letter P measuring the required length and connect with the platform. Superior cut off.
Holes for dowels drilled in the ceiling markup. It is better to draw it, putting the platform to the stove. For fixing it is better to use screws 5x51 mm. The level is checked by ropes stretched between opposite sides of the baguette.
If the lamps are less than twenty, the SVVP 2x0.75 two-housing cable is used, with a larger amount - a wire of copper with a thickness of at least 1.5 mm. They are fixed at the ceiling plastic clamps. They should not touch PVC films. The devices are connected in parallel.
The wiring is passed through the housing, leaving a loop of about 10 cm. It is snoozy in half, creating two contacts, and bend, so that they do not interfere with the installation of the canvas. Then the power supply is connected and the PVC coating is mounted.
Marking for spot
It can be done right on the floor, if there is a laser roulette. Before installing the lamp in the finished stretch ceiling, you need to know exactly where it is located. Even a small error will lead to undesirable consequences.Procedure
- Using a ruler, roulette or template on the floor, all distances are marked.
- Holes are marked with felt-tip pen. So that it does not have to wash, the plaster or isolent is used. The mark is made in the form of crosses.
- Marking is transferred to the top. The laser roulette is put on the cross, the position of the beam is indicated on the film.

Installation and Connection
For plastic ceilings, thermal stoles protecting holes from thermal deformations are used and from breaks during tension. There are no such frames such a frame. They are not melted and able to withstand serious mechanical loads.
The ring is thoroughly lubricated with glue and applied to the site so that their internal circles coincide. The material inside is completely removed sharply by the construction knife. Spot is connected to contacts through terminal cables from 3 to 5 A. It is fixed using the springs to be pressed upon installation. Then the network is checked.

How to fix the lamp on the finished stretch ceiling
To put an ordinary device, you need to get to the stove, and do not do without cuts. You can use more than once only the system with a harpoon fastening to the baguette. The rest will be unusable after dismantling.
The problem allows you to solve sobs with the GX53 base. First glue the thermocole and free the space inside. Then the distance to the slab plate is measured, the suspensions are adjusted, they give them a p-shaped shape and screwed to the case. Before starting to pull the cable, its ends need to be closed so as not to damage PVC. Drill the hole should be very neat. To the drill does not jump, first it is better to take a thin drill, and then expand the resulting hole.
The lamp does not have springs on the housing. He is screwed to the suspension and expose heel with the rest.
