Stretch ceilings are rapidly gainingpopularity. It is important to know how best to place lamps on a stretch ceiling. There are common layouts, thanks to them you will create a sufficient level of brightness and will be able to adjust the illumination of different sectors of the room. 
Backlight stretch ceiling, mainly,performs a decorative function, and fully illuminate her room will not work. If you need a good level of lighting, in the center you can install a chandelier, which will be a wonderful addition to the interior. Some options suggest the close placement of fixtures to the ceiling canvas. In this case it is necessary that they have a low heat release. The permissible limit for the built-in lamps is 40 watts (if it is combined with a PVC film). The incandescence limit for halogen lamps is lower, it is 20-35 watts. If a chandelier is installed in the room, more powerful lamps can be used for it, since its construction is at a safe distance from the ceiling. Spotlights will not create very bright lighting, diffused light will be soft and muffled. Some options assume a good level of illumination without using a chandelier. Often mounted point devices with an external location. Thanks to them, a high level of light is produced in the room. Point devices illuminate much more space, since the lamps are located outside the ceiling. With the use of such systems it is possible to install lamps up to 70 watts. If you prefer halogen lamps, dimmers that regulate the level of light will be useful.
Ideas for the arrangement of fixtures
Installation scheme embedded in the suspended ceilinglamp. In the case of a chandelier, you must keep a safe distance from the horns to the ceiling, it must be at least 15 cm. The distance from the spotlight to the nearest joint on the PVC film is at least 20 cm. Use the twisting lights to create maximum illumination. Such devices will allow to create the desired level of illumination, making one area brighter, and the second more moderate. Selecting fixtures is necessary in view of their ability to illuminate. A single point light will illuminate up to two meters of space. If the area of the room is 30 m², the number of lamps should not exceed 15. When combined with a dimmer, you can provide flexibility in adjusting the light. Variants of the arrangement of lamps are many. Let's give an example: if in a small room there is a chandelier, how correctly to place the lamps on a stretch ceiling? You can mount them in the corners, so we get a well-lit space, there will be no accentuation of any zone. If necessary, you can always turn on the chandelier, which adds brightness. With such coverage, good conditions are created for watching movies, you can work without problems with a computer: the eyes are not tired, and the soft twilight does not distract attention. 
The layout of the LED strip on the ceiling. You can arrange the devices with an arc in one part of the room. The light will not be too intrusive, especially if it's behind the viewer's back. This scheme is perfect if two children live in a room. One can work at the computer in the illuminated part of the room, while the second child will prepare for bed. The arrangement of the fixtures by an arc is a good option for a room. It is well suited for the kitchen: the chandelier can illuminate a wide dining table, and the lamps - a work surface and a place near the stove. Sometimes kitchens use soffits, which are installed in the lockers. Back to contents</a>
Location of luminaires on a stretch ceiling without a chandelier
This option is very common. Devices can be mounted in the living room, living room, in the hall, in the kitchen. To make the hallway more spacious, install a glossy ceiling with a lower backlight. In the bathroom it is recommended to install point lights built in the ceiling, they can be from four to eight pieces. Try to make sure that the distance between them is the same. The devices are mounted in a stretch ceiling, it is very important that they have sealed properties. A good option will be halogen type lamps, they are not afraid of high humidity. The bedroom is often mounted a dozen of point lamps, which will create a scattered light effect. At the bed you can put a floor lamp or sconce. You can mount invisible lamps behind the cornice. The light that reflects off the ceiling visually makes the space wider, but it will not be bright. Behind the cornice often hide devices that highlight the stretch ceiling. When choosing a particular option, it is necessary to take into account the optimal ratio of luminaires to the total area of the room.
