Highlighting recently become increasingly popular in interior design. Scenarios for its location can be very different, but they all have the same goal - to make the interior of the original, and life at home comfortable and beautiful.

Paintings, art, decorative niches and installations using lights become even more attractive, and cupboards, shelves and mirrors are transformed from the simple things in modern interior, whose mission - to facilitate the maximum and make a pleasant life of his master. The peculiarity of this type of lighting - an emphasis on the quality of light rather than the appearance of the lamps.
For them, the peculiar form of concise, simple, noble materials subdued colors - everything is aimed at to provide lighted object in the best possible light, without diverting attention to his source. The backlight is mainly used by several types of fixtures: recessed lighting (Downlight), spotlights directed light (spot), and accent lighting. Downlights and spotlights are not only used for illumination, but also for the local light - upper, wall and floor. In addition, to highlight the possible use LED lamps and conductive system. Downlight
So called small, often recessed lighting, directing light downward. They are equipped with compact-fluorescent, HID, metal halide or halogen lamps. Downlight Housing made of metal, glass, brass and thermoplastic. The noble appearance lamps give special coatings - polished brass, satin brass, chrome, satin chrome, black chrome, bronze. Flat shape Downlight, which occurs most often allows fixtures to fit harmoniously into the environment, to dissolve it. 

This is consistent with the current trends of light, which should flow as if from nowhere, without drawing attention to the source. They are versatile - they can be used to cover living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and even outdoor facilities. They will differ only in the degree of protection from external influences - moisture and mechanical damage.
For general light recessed fixtures are used in combination with more powerful light sources, as the brightness of some Downlight is not enough.
Also, they are often used to highlight certain areas that need more light. Such light makes objects vividly and clearly, so it is perfectly suited for lighting decorative niches with art objects.
Downlights can be swivel or fixed motionless. Where is the upper plane Downlight built directly into it (such as niches, shelves of cabinets), in other cases are assembled into finished or installable friezes (mirrors, exterior lighting cabinets). Spot lights (spot) 

Currently, under the spot light with the understanding direction of the radius of illumination. Typically, spots are located on a metal platform on which they can be from one to four. Conductive system also can be equipped with them. Swivel design allows you to adjust most spots of light direction. Often the spots are used to illuminate objects or parts of the premises. As a rule, spotlights mounted on the wall in the living room, hallway, bedroom. They are very stylish look and allow you to adjust light direction. Their role - to create a directional flow of light and emphasize those details of the interior that will shape his style.
With spotlights best to create custom lighting accents. Designers often use a directed light beam to distinguish the main piece of furniture especially proud owner - now, a collection of weapons, statue. They are easy to install, take up little space, so they easily fit next to a home furnishings that require additional lighting. On the bright light will take care of special halogen reflector lamps. Galogenki "calculated at 220 and 12 volts. The service life of the first - 2000 hours, Second - 4000. It would seem better to buy a 12-voltovku and, screw it, enjoy life. But in our homes wiring, as is known, is designed for 220 volts, so make sure you need a transformer that will convert the voltage from 220 to 12 volts. A 220-volt spotlights do not require a transformer, and it positively affects their appearance, making them more sophisticated. Spots are made of various materials - shiny chrome and milk glass, brushed aluminum and lacquered wood. 

Accentual lighting Accent lighting is often called "lighting for the paintings, but their area of application is much wider. They illuminate cabinets, mirrors, curtains and many other items. All the lamps of this kind consist of a decorative stand, a small curved feet and one or more plafonds round or elongated shape. Ceiling is not a great variety and abundance of models, but it is not necessary, since their task - to draw attention to the illuminated object, not its design.
Those lights that are used to illuminate the paintings and photographs, have several features in the device and installation. Accent lighting to illuminate the paintings are mounted only on the wall. Those models, which can be attached or embedded into the surface of the illuminated object, too, are accented, but pictures can not use them - just imagine how it will look a picture in which the fixtures are installed. Painting illuminated from above - lamps should be installed at some distance from the picture or just close to it. The optimal length of a special light is 2 / 3 the length of the frame. 

It is worth paying attention to the selection of lighting elements - an incandescent lamp gives a soft yellow light, which prevents burning expensive oil paintings. Fluorescent lamps as well will be covered canvases. To illuminate the screen printing, graphics, contrasting patterns are mainly used halogen lamps 12 V power from 10 to 50 watts. With the lights at 50 watts must be careful not to spoil the picture fairly powerful stream of light.
