Stretch ceiling with LED backlight

There are many different options for how you can try to illuminate the false ceiling . But let's look closer at the very structure of the vinyl sheet. It is mostly semi-transparent, and this feature is easy to use for its own purposes. That is why such popular became the illumination of the stretch ceiling of the LED ribbon . Before installation work and purchase of materials it is worth to learn a little about the very device of this unique lighting device and how to fix vinyl tension ceilings.

What does the stretch LED ceiling consist of?

Let's consider two basic ways of the device of the given illumination:

1. Mounted frame, and then gipsokartonniy box, which is installed our LED lamp and the ceiling itself. It turns out a beautiful two-level system with hidden beautiful backlighting along the contour. If the box is already ready, then the installation work of such a device does not take much time and effort. In the case, when the device of the box and wiring will be handled by different teams, it is necessary to plan everything so that the value of the technological opening by the performers was observed correctly.
2. In the second case, the LED strip is installed directly under the suspended ceiling, beautifully lighting it from the inside. It is in this way that it produces a starry sky and other amazing effects.

In principle, both options have their advantages and are able to completely transform the interior of your bedroom or living room. The first method is more solid, but much more difficult to perform. It is good during the overhaul of the premises, when you can implement any conceived projects.

How is the LED suspended ceiling light?

The tape itself is very thin, its thickness is not more than 3 millimeters with a width of up to 10 mm. Most often you can find pieces of 5 meters long, wound in coils. On the front side there are LEDs and resistors, and on the back of the tape there is an adhesive layer covered with a protective film. The advantage of this device is that it is very flexible and light, allows you to take any given shape and is held on a thin layer of glue without any clamps and brackets. It is easy to install on any flat surface, whether it's glass or plastic. It works from 12 volts, so it's completely safe for humans.

How to choose LED strip?

You can find a different marking of the LED - SMD 3525, SMD 5050, SMD 3528. It depends on the number of crystals, the size of the diodes, their density per running meter. The last parameter affects the brightness of the glow. If the density is high (240 pieces per meter), then such a system can replace partially the main lighting function. But at a density of about 60 pieces per meter, the LEDs can only act as the original decorative lighting.

Stretch ceiling with LED backlight can be waterproof and not waterproof. This parameter is indicated by IP marking. The simplest systems are monochrome. But if you have a controller and an RGB-type LED strip, you can create a multicolor ceiling at home, changing the luminosity and patterns on your ceiling as desired. This option is much more interesting and can give the owner a lot of pleasant impressions.

I want to give a small, but valuable advice to those who plan to install a stretch ceiling with original LED lighting. Do not put the power module under the canvas, hiding it there tightly. In the event of a breakdown, it will be difficult to get to the device and replace the burnt out part. It will be necessary to disassemble part of the structure and injure the ceiling linen, which is always undesirable. We wish readers to install at home a beautiful backlight that would delight the eye and bring them pleasure.
