Ceiling lights not only illuminate the room, but also allow for zoning of the space. Plasterboard ceilings can be divided into two types depending on the placement of the lights:
System with open placement of lighting
The open backlight system is the mosta simple design in which the lamps are placed in specially cut holes (spotlights) or simply suspended (chandeliers). When arranging a design with open placement of lighting, you can combine a traditional chandelier and spotlights. In addition, an equally original solution would be to use only spotlights. In this case, you can create various systems of zonal lighting. It is necessary to remember that due to the low load-bearing capacity of a plasterboard ceiling, the total weight of pendant lamps should not exceed 10 kg. Return to contents</a>
Ceiling with hidden lighting placement
Open lighting system diagram.Modern technologies make it possible to install a system with hidden lighting. With the help of hidden lighting, you can create a so-called floating ceiling. LED strips are used as lighting fixtures. They can be placed in niches between levels or in a niche between the wall and the structure. The light from the LED strips is directed at the ceiling, which creates reflected lighting. Such sources give the room a certain mystery. The light from them is soft and does not irritate the eyes. In addition, the modern market can offer various options for such strips. They can be either single-color or multi-colored. The brightness of the LED backlight can be adjusted using a dimmer. You can control the multi-colored strip using a special RGB controller. LED backlighting has a number of advantages:
Hidden backlighting scheme. LED strips with self-adhesive base should be selected according to the following characteristics:
- by type of LED;
- on the density of light elements, it is determined by the number of LEDs per meter of length of the tape, there are tapes with a density of 30, 60 and 120 LEDs per 1 m;
- for moisture protection: LED strips protect from moisture with special silicone insulation.

Technology of the device of a multilevel ceiling from plasterboard
- very beautiful and quite simpleconstruction. You can do the installation yourself, the main thing is to follow the technology and the correct sequence. The first level device begins with marking, then the frame is assembled. For this, a metal profile for plasterboard is used. The frame is mounted in the following sequence:
After the first level is installed, they begininstallation of the second, into which either spot lighting is cut in or an LED strip is glued. The installation of the second level is carried out in the following sequence:

The device of illumination in a multilevel gypsum cardboard ceiling
After installing the plasterboard ceiling, you canproceed to the installation of the backlight. First, you need to choose the type of lamps used and think about their placement. In addition, you should take care of the electrical wiring for the lighting in advance and hide it behind the plasterboard ceiling. For spotlights, it is necessary to provide holes. When installing such lighting, do not forget that the height of the system should be such that the hidden part fits behind it. Do not be afraid of unevenly cut holes, the decorative edge of the lamp will cover all these shortcomings. If an LED strip or so-called LED strip is used as a backlight, you need to know some of the features of its installation. Since such a strip is produced in 5 m lengths, it may be necessary to cut it. It should be remembered that the LED strip can only be cut in certain places. When connecting strips of tape, there are also some features. So, when connecting multi-colored RGB strips, you need to solder together the V + contacts with the same names. For single-color strips, the "+" and "-" contacts are connected. Before gluing the LED strip, it must be connected, observing the polarity, and then checked in the "Test" mode. A ceiling with backlighting can be an excellent solution for the interior. The type of such a device depends only on the desire and financial capabilities of the owner. This can be the cheapest option - an ordinary single-level method of gypsum board with a chandelier as a light source. A more complex design will be a multi-level analog with spotlights or LED lighting. You can combine the use of a conventional chandelier, spotlights and LED strip. It is better to entrust the installation of a plasterboard structure with backlighting to a specialized organization. But if this is not possible, then you can do it yourself. The main thing is to follow the technology. In addition, you need to know the basics of electrical wiring and know how to properly connect the LED strip. And as a result, plasterboard ceilings (not only with backlighting) will delight you and your friends. Good luck!
