Several rules and recommendations of the expert.
Large heavy luminaires accompany our life since ancient times to the present day. Since then, mankind moved from cramped caves in spacious premises: castles, palaces, big houses and apartments, the issue of organization lighting ceased to be relevant.The big chandelier as the main source of lighting, remained unchanged - only the styles of its design changed, new materials and light sources were used.The centuries-old experience of mankind on the lighting of premises with high ceilings proves the correctness of the principle of the location of the main source of light in the center of the room, so that the entire space around is highlighted as much as possible.
What should be noted so that the lighting is correct and comfortable. What parameters are important in order to accurately calculate the height of the lamp arrangement with a significant ceiling height and volume of the room in general.Let's try to figure it out. The well-known rule says that the lower edge of the chandeliers should be located so that the person standing under it and stretching the hands up could touch the chandelier with the tips of the fingers. But, how to be if, for example, the chandelier should light 2 or more floors at the same time: a spacious hall in a house, in a hotel, a stair well, etc. At what height correctly fasten the lamp and how many light bulbs in it should be, what form should this chandelier be?
You can try to determine all this on the eye and just buy your favorite model. But that certainly did not make a mistake, it is necessary to make the calculation of lighting equipment. Сalculation of lighting equipment or otherwise visualization of the project take into consideration the appointment of the room, its architectural and design features.The calculation of lighting is made in the Dialux program and includes visualization of light sources indoors, thanks to which you can determine the required amount of lamps, their power, luminosity, dimensions, location and order of location.
Having the exact data, we can safely go to the store.
So, the chandelier is selected and purchased according to lighting calculations and now time to start the installation. We advise to check the quality of wiring, the correct connection sockets, switches, circuit breakers. If, after inspection, you made sure that your electrical equipment is not all right, but you yourself can not fix the problem, you need expert help.To avoid unnecessary costs and errors, the plan will need the correct placement of sockets, switches, circuit breakers, electrical appliances, which in the future will be installed with an indication of their number, brand, specifications, or - electrical equipment project.
Planning the placement of a new chandelier, I want to mention one more important point. Many chandeliers should be placed high enough, they have a large weight, size and often complex design. Imagine how to mount a lamp, for example, above the stairs a few floors, then how to change the bulb, check the serviceability, wipe the dust from the chandeliers at a height of 6 m or more? Application of one technical solution can solve such difficulties. This device is a light lift for a chandelier. A small in size with an electric or mechanical control unit is set until mounting the lamp. It is designed to lower or raise even a very heavy chandelier, carrying capacity of individual models up to 5000 kg. He lowered according to your desire strong steel cable, to which a chandelier will be connected, and then lift it up to the ceiling, where the closed its electrical contacts and chandelier lights.
We tried to give only brief recommendations on connecting a large heavy chandelier for a high ceiling, how to do it competently and with optimal costs. But we understand that the scope of work and tasks that are facing a person who all is to be implemented in practice is quite a weight.
