Purpose of furniture lamps

Today, in many apartments and houses, where a good repair was carried out, you can see functional and beautiful lamps for furniture. This type of lighting looks great in the interior of any room. Properly selected products to illuminate the various headsets will help create a comfortable atmosphere and cozy conditions in any home.

The design of miniature spotlights is completely simple.

The device most often consists of:

• lamps;
• connecting wire;
• body of the product;
• a certain type of switch.

To make the light brighter, part of the body inside is often made with a mirror reflecting surface.

Furniture fixtures today are needed for decoration in various rooms - from the kitchen and living rooms of the house, completing the interiors of cafes, offices and shops.

They are most often used for 2 purposes:

• Main lighting. A set of small-sized products can highlight a small room - a corridor, a hall, a bathroom or a small bedroom. With the help of a light beam, you can divide any room into zones - for example, make the work area brighter and install a not very bright light above the bed.
• Extra light. Spot lighting is convenient to use to highlight different places - for example, a table in the kitchen. Spotlights inside the various furniture sets make it easier to find the right things. Illumination of the darkened corners allows you to create the visual effect of increasing the room and makes its ceilings higher.

Lamps for furniture by type of installation are conventionally divided into embedded (they can also be called pinpoint or mortise) and overhead. Lamps of each of these types are quite stylish and unusual, they have certain features, positive features and disadvantages.

Mortise lamps are considered the most popular. They received their name due to the fact that they are built into the elements of furniture - doors, cabinet covers. These lamps are very convenient to use for installation inside cabinets. It should be borne in mind that the placement of mortise products should be planned at an early stage of assembling a new furniture set.

Overhead lights are also very popular. Their feature is the fact that they can freely rotate in the direction desired by the owner; In addition, their significant advantage is the ease of installation. They will be especially needed in the kitchen. Overhead lights with a turn are a good solution, as they can resolve many issues of lighting and furniture, and any work surface.

By way of management, these lamps are divided into:

• Contact, when next to the lamp there is a switch.
• Contactless - light up only during operation, for example, when opening the cabinet door or pulling out the drawer of the table. With this management option, you can significantly save on electricity.

Modern light sources can be either wired (with a socket), or they can do without this seriously interfering component and operate on batteries. It is easiest to install the wireless luminaires on batteries, but the lack of a permanent power source can make adjustments to the backlight work.

Rechargeable batteries will need to be recharged from time to time, and it is most comfortable to produce it when you do not need to remove the device from its place. When choosing a particular type of connection, be guided first by the convenience and availability of a particular mode to power the device.

Luminaires can also have a motion sensor or work only when opening the cabinet, which is more economical than when the device is working 24 hours a day, and much more practical than a conventional switch. You can also use such an option as control via the remote control, which is very convenient when you need to turn on the light in another part of the room without getting up from your place.

It is also possible to make a point light more muted or, conversely, to enhance the backlight. So you can adjust the intensity of the light beam, as well as save on electricity.

Dim or even slightly dimmed lighting with unusual tints will help create an atmosphere of romance or just a positive mood in the rooms.

Using such lamps, you can think of different options for lighting rooms:

• Acupressure. Under this illumination, the rays of light will not scatter, but will be sent in a continuous stream to a certain zone. Most often for these purposes a cone or round product is used to illuminate the table top, shelf or working area.
• Accentuating To create such a light beam, it is better to take mortise products - they will give the desired object more expressiveness.
• Decorative. Here are used color products that help relieve tension and make the room more elegant.

Incandescent lamps - the usual type of lamps at a low price. A negative feature of furniture products with incandescent lamps is the large depth of embedding - from 7 cm and deeper. During operation, these bulbs quickly warmed up, which is not safe.

Halogen lamps provide the brightest lighting, they last longer, and consume less energy. The disadvantage of these lamps for furniture is heating during active use, so you will have to build elements into the design that absorb heat or regulate the intensity of light.

Lamps with xenon are not exposed to strong warming up, but they give out too bright light for living rooms, therefore they are more often used in public places.

Fluorescent products have the most significant drawback - they contain mercury in their composition and require special disposal. They should not be thrown away like ordinary light bulbs. The light of such a lamp, among other things, is taken by many ordinary people to be too lifeless and resembles hospital lighting, so it is not the most popular.

LED quality performance superior to other types of lamps. They do not contain harmful substances, consume a little electricity, do not flicker, do not give out ultraviolet radiation. LED lamps are quite expensive, but in the work of such a high cost pays off many advantages.

Lamps in their form can be not only classically round (in the form of a so-called "puck"), but also in the form of a rectangle, a triangle, an oval - for every taste. Miniature triangular devices look very original - the edges of the lamp beautifully cut through the light and make it more sophisticated.

Miniature size and ease of installation allow you to use point products in any place: on the wall and in the door openings, in any furniture sets.

The use of lighting products can increase the cost of furniture, but then not only a set or shelf, but also the complete interior of the room will benefit from the use of an additional light source. It will make the use of furniture more comfortable and help to place accents in the design of the space.

Furniture lamps for the kitchen room will help illuminate the working area, improve the space where the meal itself is carried out, accentualize individual pieces of furniture or the necessary decor of the kitchen.

In a darkened hall or a large corridor, a number of lighting fixtures will create a pleasant and soft light that makes you feel very comfortable in the room. Sometimes it is possible to arrange address lighting for the shelf where the keys to the house are stored.

The nursery is being equipped with devices to create a comfortable reading area, breaking the space with the help of light rays.

Embedded products in offices and halls, libraries, where usually a lot of furniture is placed, are used to make massive structures more lightweight, to make more spectacular visual accents on all available shelves and racks.

Furniture lighting in the bedroom is used to create a special aura of space. Mortise small lamp, giving a soft and adjustable light, will help to create the best conditions for quality rest. The lamp mounted on top of the cabinet will allow you to light up the ceiling beautifully and play the role of a night lamp.

Accent lighting for furniture sets can be mounted on any design details.The location of their exact installation can be determined by the zone that you need to highlight.

For proper illumination of the working space on the writing table, lighting products can be placed on the lower surface of the shelf above the table (then you need a mortise luminaire), or with a patch lamp mounted on the wall you can accent the worktop area where you work.

Furniture products for tables are made in various design solutions, for example, their body can even be gold or silver, the tabletop can be made of stone or cheaper plastic, as well as plaster.

Devices for the wardrobe can be both contact and contactless. Front lamps are mounted next to the handles of doors and shelves, often only for decoration purposes. It should be borne in mind that the usual decorative lamps are in the switched on state constantly, and therefore it is best to twist energy-saving light bulbs in them.

Lamps for kitchen space are often built in groups and controlled simultaneously, for example, it can be a group of table lighting, all kitchen cabinets, and space at the sink.

In the dark, the rays of light from the lamps, which are built into the furniture, create an elegant and spectacular atmosphere. Depending on the design of these devices, you can create different effects - the light will be scattered in the way you want.

With the help of stylistic fixtures, you can perfectly complement the interior of any desired type. In today's interiors, the overhead items can not be hidden at all, but rather, presented as the most important element of the whole interior. The only style - the traditional country - does not accept the presence of technical devices, so the spotlights in this style can be used, but it is important to hide them from sight.

Classical or baroque, Victorian style, Japanese and African motifs can always be made more than original and textured using a mortise-type light fixture.

In the interiors of hi-tech and modern, art nouveau and pop art are allowed to include any desired number of lighting products. Due to the additional light source any home will become much more comfortable.

For example, lamps with LEDs for the kitchen in the style of minimalism will become the main decor, in this case, the laconic design of the room will become more complete.

Forms of furniture miniature light products in the art-nouveau style are usually bulky and immediately catch the eye, may have a certain asymmetry.

In urbanized hi-tech lamps you will not find any particular decor, there will not be any extra features. Simplified forms, the most straight lines, often use the right figures, minimalism in everything - this is what can distinguish this urban style from all others.

Lamps in floral style can have exquisite and plastic forms.

Therefore, to choose lamps for furniture will need to be directly dependent on their functional accessories.
