Led strip light for ceiling

Led strip lights are an excellent choice for ceiling lighting for many reasons. They are thin and long, making them ideal for narrow spaces where a traditional light fixture may not fit.

Led light strips can also be used for decorative lighting and can easily be used for indirect lighting to add ambiance to a space. The energy efficiency of LED strip lighting is also a major advantage, as it saves considerable energy compared to traditional lighting technologies.

Led light strips have many applications

Led strip lighting can be used in many different applications. They can be used as ceiling luminaires as a direct luminaire or as an indirect light source.

The use of LED strip lighting for do-it-yourself projects, offers possibilities. So make your own Led strip light. Led strip lights can be used in a variety of rooms, including bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and work spaces.

Led strip lights for ceilings are easy to install even by yourself.

Interior lighting basics

Interior lighting is an important part of the look of your home. Lighting should be functional, but also visually pleasing. Interior lighting should take into account the size, function and style of the room.

Size: If the room is large, there should be enough light

Purpose: Does the light create an indirect atmosphere or an effective working light?

Style: Do you want indirect light along the wall? Will it be modern linear lighting or a halo of light? Do you want light to break up space, for example at a doorway?

Lighting design to meet room needs

Lighting design should always be tailored to the needs of the room. The number and location of luminaires will be influenced by the use and size of the room.

The light requirements for task lighting are significantly higher than, for example, mood lighting in a living room. Should the light be a safety factor, for example on stairs or in a corridor? Is the light for domestic or public use?

Basics of choosing a Led light band

Led strip lighting is influenced by a number of factors, including:

• purpose
• light output
• colour options

Before making your choice, it is a good idea to find out which type of strip is best suited to your lighting needs, as well as the type of lighting control system in your home.

Choosing a Led strip light for your ceiling by room style

When choosing a light strip for your ceiling, it is also important to consider the style of the room. For example, a modern interior may use cold colours and sharp shapes, while a romantic interior may prefer soft tones and rounded shapes.

For a more modern look, you can use light lines in the ceiling to provide direct general lighting, or even bold upright light strings on the wall.

For a more traditional or romantic style, indirect lighting solutions are better suited, as are rounded-edge drop ceilings.

How to choose the right Led light band brightness

The brightness of LED strip lights is selected according to the lighting needs of the room. Generally speaking, the brightness of the strip is expressed in terms of lumen output. In practice, the brightness of the strip can also be adjusted with a dimmer. If you have dimmer or colour control, always take too much rather than too little light.

Led light strip wattages:

• 7.2 W per metre is enough to light an atmospheric wall light
• 14.4 W per metre and upwards while doing general lighting

Please note that if you want coloured lights or CCT adjustable led strip lights their wattages are usually lower than those of monochrome led strip lights.
