Yourself an electrician
It is naive to believe that the power of lighting is the only requirement for lighting projects. In addition, it is necessary to provide for a uniform distribution of illumination over the entire surface of the hallway, the direction of the light streams and the location of the luminaires.
Proper installation and installation of household lighting fixtures can also raise some doubts. Therefore, it is first necessary to develop a scheme for placing lighting devices. The hallway will become more spacious and spacious with more intensive lighting.
How to plan hallway lighting
When planning the lighting must take into account the area and shape of the hallway. The classic geometrically correct hallway is a very rare phenomenon. In most cases, hallways have a long narrow corridor, various protrusions and complex, shocking living in the apartment, forms. How is it profitable to emphasize and brighten up all these "L-shaped" forms? The basic rules of a home electrician are: "The lighting of the hallway should be bright, the more lighting sources, the more hospitable the apartment."
Disregarded in due time, attention to the hallway can be transformed from an ordinary, unattractive corridor into a radiant beauty. There is nothing complicated in this, it's enough to correctly and correctly place the planned lamps, chandeliers or sconces.
Wake up sleeping beauty
In order to wake the sleeping beauty - the hallway, it is necessary to use sources of scattered and directed light. In this case, the hallway lighting source will perform a decorative and functional role.
Functionally, the hallway lighting can be divided into the following types:
• Ceiling lighting
• Wall lighting
• floor lighting
• lighting furniture or decor items.
All kinds of illumination of scattered and directional light can be combined in a mixed form. A few expressive built-in lamps, located at different angles, will create a common light background. At the same time, their location will not interfere with local sources, effectively highlighting the elements of the decor or mirrors.
Ceiling lighting options
For ceiling lighting hallway small size is strictly not suitable low or massive chandelier. The stream of light emitted by a bulky chandelier will "crush" and oppress. For a ceiling version, lamps of a lampshade and plate type, mounted directly to the ceiling, perfectly suit. Excellent built-in spotlights, located in several lines. Such lighting options give the festivity and splendor to the room. With the use of decorative materials for suspended ceilings with a glossy and reflective surface, an incredible effect can be achieved.
In some cases, for premises with a characteristic broken relief of the corridor, which spoils the appearance of the ceiling, it is recommended to simply abandon chandeliers and ceiling lights. Directional light flux in this case will provide wall or LED lights. Lighting LED hall lights is a "new era" in the electrification of their apartment. It will not be necessary to draw up large-scale plans for the GOELRO and report on saving energy in the whole apartment and in a separate room.
The tremendous savings in energy resources, which have been talked about so much, will be evident.
LED lighting for interior of apartment
Wall and floor lighting
If the hallway in the apartment is filled with furniture, then visually expand it will help a combination of wall lamps and mirrors. Lamps in this case should be placed above the mirrors or next to them. Light scattered light will be reflected in the mirrors, creating the illusion of room volume. It will be possible to mount small highlights of the most darkened color islands of the hallway. Elegant stylish lamps or pendants will help you to do this.
Filling the space of the hallway with light can be gently solved, using this when lighting the floor with LED lights. LED floor lamps are suitable for directional lighting of walls, columns and stairs. Structurally built in steps of stairs and wall panels. Installed in the floor close to the wall, the lamp will provide a clearly visible in the dark directional illumination on the wall surface. Stylish and durable metal case of such lamps is reliably protected from moisture and mechanical influences.
For more comfortable use of LED lights, you can use the through switches. Moving along a long corridor equipped with such a connection system, there will not be a need to return to turn the lighting on or off. To do this, you can use the second switch at the other end of the corridor.
