LED lighteningWith the help of LED lighting, even the mostan ordinary interior can be made stylish and attractive. Options for LED lighting has many: popular today, the cornice backlight, an unusual mirror ceiling, color music illumination.

Mounting accessories

To lighten the room with LED tape, you need to prepare the following components: Types of LED ribbons.

  • LED strip of the selected type and color.
  • Connector, that is, the connector needed to connect the pieces of tape and wires.
  • Controller for controlling the lighting system.
  • Remote control for controllers.
  • Power amplifier, which is necessary for the operation of a tape with a high load. Usually these are constructions, the length of which is more than 20 m.
  • Power supply for 12 or 24 V. The choice of a particular type depends on which tape will be used. The units are sealed, with the possibility of power adjustment, with the installed overvoltage protection.
  • To select the power supply, you need to use the formula Rip = L * P + 20%.

    • Rip is the design power for a pulsed power supply;
    • L - the length of the tape, which is calculated in meters;
    • P is the design capacity for the tape meter, it is indicated by the manufacturer;
    • 20% - power reserve.

    Diagram of connection of LED backlight

    The lighting scheme of the LED strip can be different. Most often it is required to fix the usual 5-meter single-color tape. For installation, you need:

    • tape in a reel;
    • wires with output for power supply;
    • Power Supply;
    • wires connected to a normal electrical network by 20 V.

    The electroscheme of an LED tape. If a length greater than 5 m is required, then a parallel connection is required, rather than a serial connection. For this purpose, special contacts are provided on each tape. If you make a mistake and connect the elements sequentially, then each next tape will light up the room more dimly, the terms of its service will be reduced. To mount the length of the tape, you can use different methods:

  • Connection with one power supply. In this case, a parallel circuit with a wire of 1.5 m² is used. Power supply is required to take a powerful, it will need to be masked on the surface of the ceiling.
  • Use of separate power supplies. In this case for each LED five-meter tape will use its power supply. The wire cross-section under this scheme is 0.75 m². The connection of the blocks is parallel, the installation is more labor-intensive.
  • Connecting to the surface of the ceiling multicolorRGB tapes. In this case we use RGB tape, sensor for the controller, controller, remote controller for the controller, output for the power supply and cable, power supply unit of the required capacity, cables for connection to the 220 V network.

The lighting of the room is carried out in different ways, it all depends on how the tape was strengthened. For example, light can be scattered or directed, the result in the end turns out to be diverse. The color of the system may also differ, it is not necessarily the usual white.
