Recommendations for choosing a luminaire

Installation option. All spotlights can be grouped according to the installation method.

Design features. Spotlights come in different designs.

  1. The simplest are stationary (static) models, which, after installation, will illuminate a certain area of ​​the room. Most often, such devices are built into furniture or suspended ceilings.

  2. Swivel models have wider functionality. The user can manually direct the light beam to the desired location in the room.

  3. Rotary-retractable structures allow you to constantly change the illumination in the room. They are able to withstand a large number of turns.

  4. An original addition to the interior in the room can be the installation of a cardan-type spotlight. The direction of the light beam is adjustable in different planes by changing the position of the levers.

  5. The most daring fantasies in the decoration of premises allow the implementation of spot models. The design consists of several lamps, and each of them can be rotated at the desired angle.

Additional functions. Lighting devices can be equipped with a number of additional functions.
