By placing lamps have such options: they can be placed outside of the tension structure, and can be embedded.

Exterior lighting devices need to strengthen their hands in the chandelier type.Lamps are located below the leaf level.

These light sources are considered to be suitable for installation on the canvas, as the lamp cools faster.

Outdoor lighting brightly illuminates the room thanks to the large angle scattering.In addition, they do not affect the life of the tensioner structure.

recessed lighting devices do not extend beyond the level of the web.The whole body with a lamp located inside the ceiling, only the glass is visible and the ceiling trim ring.

elements for fastening necessarily set before tighten the canvas.

in stretch ceilings make a special opening through which light is set.

Installation of lighting is important to apply termokoltso.It will protect the fabric surface from heat, because PVC is melted by the high temperature.

addition, termokoltso will strengthen the entire structure.

Spotlights

Spot lights are the most popular in the formation of Lighting for tensile structures.

However, by the lights in the kit include pillars, which must be fixed to the base ceiling.These elements are suitable in size to each other, so the problems with the installation do not arise.

When choosing this type of lighting device, pay attention to the rack.Its height should be equal to the space between the ceiling and the web.
