Even with the lighting of simple and dry rooms, beginning builders sometimes have significant problems. It is necessary to choose exactly the type of instruments, calculate their power, determine the exact location in such a way that it does not arise in rooms of dark areas or excessively flooded with blinding bright lights. With the selection of fixtures for home sauna and bath is even more difficult. In wet buildings, not all devices are capable of serving reliably. Conventional devices, not equipped with protective casings and gaskets, will quickly cover with rust, burn or become a source of danger to the owners.
Arrangement of lighting for a bath?
It turns out that for this room you can buy several types of electrical lighting devices - classical, LED, fiber optic, luminescent. The main thing is a class of protection. For fixtures that are bought in a sauna and a sauna, it must be at least IP-54. In addition, be sure to install an RCD, which in case of danger detects a leakage current and de-energizes the devices. It is best to not connect the sockets with switches to the steam room, but to put them in the dressing room. In a damp room, you will have in this case only the case of a lamp with a plafond, the wires to which fit on the other side of the wall. Voltage also plays a crucial role. It is advisable not to save on the step-down transformer and to feed lighting devices with a voltage of 12 volts.
Choosing the best type of fixtures for a sauna and sauna
- Devices of a classical kind.
- LED bath devices.
- Fiber-optic heat-resistant lamp for sauna.
In such devices, it is possible to screw in the filament lamps with a conventional cap. Naturally, the bodies of these devices must be made of corrosion-resistant materials. To prevent moisture from getting inside the plafond, they are equipped with soft seals. It is best to take products with frosted or milky glow, if you previously purchased waterproof lamps for saunas and baths with clear glass, we advise you to muffle the brightness of the lamps with protective wooden decorative grilles.
Popular nowadays LED lamps for baths and saunas can perform different functions. They can be built in furniture, in the bottom of the pool, set in the dressing room, in the washing room. For the pair they are not very suitable because of the sharp bright light, so not all of their owners there agree to strengthen. In addition, it is known that high temperatures on the LED device are detrimental.
Expensive, but completely safe and moisture-resistant fiber optic lighting devices tolerate heat up to 200 degrees. They can be installed, both on walls and floors, and on ceilings. They represent a construction, the basis of which is a bundle of flexible light-conducting fibers and a projector. The optical fiber emits a pleasant glow, completely dazzling the eyes, therefore it is unnecessary to use protective gratings for such original luminaires.
In addition to the devices described above, halogen or fluorescent lamps still exist, but they have some features that can cause users to stop using them. For example, the halogen lamp is very hot, which is a negative factor for the steam room. Mercury inside the luminescent device is dangerous and, if the lamp is destroyed, it can cause people harm. In addition, the starting unit of such a device is very sensitive to the high temperature of the medium.
Having considered all the risk factors, several important conclusions can be drawn. Using a variety of wooden, plastic, ceramic and other fixtures for saunas and saunas, always take into account their safety class. For the pair, fiber optic systems and classic devices with incandescent lamps are best suited. Economical LED waterproof lanterns can be safely placed in other rooms where there are no critical temperatures.
