Lamps with remote control

A luminaire with a remote control (PU) is a device characterized by aesthetics, functionality and ease of use. The main advantage of this device is the ability to adjust the level of illumination, turn the lamp on and off, without getting up from a workplace or a sofa. To improve user comfort, manufacturers also produce lamps with touch controls. A feature of these models is a sensor built into the case that changes the level of illumination when touching the device case.

Lamps with remote PU are ceiling and pendant. They differ in the type of installation. Most models on the market are ceiling devices.They have a compact size, due to which they do not clutter up the space in small rooms.

Devices can be equipped with different types of lamps:

• halogen;
• LED;
• halogen with diode lighting;
• energy saving;
• incandescent bulbs.

Among all LED devices with PU, the Moon model has gained more demand. The device is a night lamp, the power source of which are finger batteries. The model has a glue surface. Due to this, it can be glued both on a horizontal and on a vertical surface. The Luna lamp is a combination of aesthetics, reliability and affordability.

Externally, devices for lighting with PU are similar to similar lamps. However, they have hidden design features.

All appliances have:

• metal base;
• glass or crystal diffusers;
• light source (lamp);
• remote control equipped with built-in transmitter;
• control unit located inside the metal base of the lamp.

Also, manufacturers offer models with dimmers, thanks to which the user can adjust the level of light, creating a comfortable environment for themselves. In addition, there are devices with a motion sensor on the market. The sensitive detector, when detecting a movement in the zone of action, is triggered and transmits a signal for the ignition of the lamps. Solutions with a sensor save energy.

The main function of all lamps with PU is to provide artificial lighting in closed areas. Some devices due to the unusual appearance of a decorative function. Luminaries of fancy shapes and sizes often become part of the interior. They help to diversify the style, to bring a highlight to it, to place light accents, to emphasize the items of furniture.

Also devices (depending on the model) have the ability to:

• programming the glow period by a timer;
• adjusting the intensity of the light flux and the light of the backlight;
• lighting mode adjustment (power setting);
• strobe effect.

The main advantage of controlled lamps - ease of use. In order to turn on / off the light equipment it is not necessary to get out of bed. You just need to press the desired button on the PU. This function is especially important for large premises where there are several sources of light, as well as for people with disabilities.

The only minus of such lighting devices is the big risks of premature failure. The devices are “stuffed” with complex electronics: sensors, dimmers, switches, which often break. Their rapid wear is simply explained: electronic components are located at the base of the luminaire. It is the base that is most susceptible to heat.Electronics is "afraid" of high temperatures and fails at the slightest overheating.

Before buying a lamp with PU you need to pay attention to the following factors:

1. Type of light source. The cheapest devices are equipped with incandescent bulbs. More expensive, reliable and efficient equipped with energy-saving, halogen and LED light sources.
2. Power ratings. From this parameter will depend on the intensity of the light flux. For small rooms (for example, children's rooms), a lamp with an illumination level of 100-150 lux is sufficient; for spacious rooms, the indicator should be at least 200 lux.
3. Action area remote control. Manufacturers produce models with a range of PU from 30 to 100 meters (the signal can pass through the walls). For urban apartments fit any device. For cottages and spacious country home, it is advisable to look at models with a range of 50 meters.
4. Light equipment design (shape, color) and dimensions. It is important that the device organically fit into the interior of the room, consistent with its style.
5. Design. For stretch ceiling surfaces suitable ceiling type lamps. For high ceilings you can pick up hanging chandeliers.
6. Additional functions. Consider whether you need lighting effects, the ability to program the device, turn on the device when motion is detected, and other options. It makes no sense to overpay for these features if they are not used.

There are many models on the market that differ in design, technical characteristics, size and other parameters. Due to the large range of lighting devices, the buyer will be able to choose the model that is optimal for himself.
