And then everything is covered with a special fabric or PVC with a canvas.

The first of them is made of special luminous fabric. Under it and the light sources are located. Then the second canvas in the form of a translucent film is applied. With its help, the image is projected. It can move, creating interesting drawings on the ceiling. You can manage it through a special microprocessor, which allows you to change images.

Built -in outdoor lamps
Another common option is to install spotlights. A similar type can be called universal. Party lamps will additionally saturate the room with light or, conversely, make lighting more intimate and muffled. You can apply them to a stretch ceiling of any color, since they are perfectly combined with any shades, emphasizing the advantages of the interior.

LEDs and scheme for their connection to light bulbs
LED is called a special semiconductor device. If the current will act in the direct direction through it, then it will begin to glow. One LED or group is a source of light for the so -called LED lamps and lamps, which have recently gained great popularity. They are used as lighting devices in houses and offices. They are used even to illuminate the facades of buildings and in outdoor advertising. However, most often such devices are used when installing stretch ceilings. The fact is that their service life is much higher than that of ordinary lamps. In addition, they are more resistant to temperature drops and possible mechanical damage, and also allow you to significantly save on payment of electricity.

LEDs work on direct current. Before proceeding with their installation, you need to turn off the power supply from the electric network, otherwise breakdown is possible. Connection scheme in this case is standard. You will have to connect the device to the power source, clearly observing the polarity “-” and “+”.

It also happens that several LEDs must be connected to one power supply at once. Then they must connect in parallel. That is, minus wires are connected to the «minus» of the power supply, and plus — to «plus».
It should be remembered that the total number of LEDs that connect to the power supply should not in any case exceed the power of the device. In addition, it is important that the wires of the device can withstand the desired level of current strength.

If built -in outdoor -type lamps were chosen for the stretch ceiling, the backlight around the perimeter or lighting “Star Sky”, then installing light bulbs based on the basis is quite independent. To do this, you need to purchase the devices and special plastic rings themselves, which will be used in installation.
All work is carried out before installing a stretch ceiling. At first, the places where the devices should be located are noted. Then at the level of the planned stretch ceiling through them it is advisable to stretch the fishing line. Thus, you can immediately determine the height of the mount. Further to the main ceiling, mounting rings are fixed. They are attached with metal suspensions, and their height will be able to adjust their previously mounted fishing line.
At the next stage, the electrical wiring extends and the blocks join through the terminal. Иногда для большей надежности специалисты также устанавливают трансформатор, чтобы в дальнейшем проблем с освещением не возникало.
Wiring under the stretch ceiling
When the design is ready, the stretch ceiling is installed. After the film has completely cooled down, plastic thermal rings are glued to the place of fixtures that were created earlier. These designs protect the canvas of the stretch ceiling from sagging and overheating. Then a hole under the light bulb is cut through the inner edge of the ring. She, in turn, connects to the block. You need to click on spring clamps and direct the lamp into the holder. Due to the spring structure, it will stand in the right place. Other light bulbs are connected using the same technology. The process itself does not take much time.
