一, Surface mounted installation: a flexible and convenient entry-level option
1. Surface exposed installation
Surface mounted without damaging the original structure, the profile can be directly fixed to the wall or ceiling surface through buckles or screws. Suitable for completed residential, office and other scenarios, especially for rapid renovation projects. Attention should be paid during installation:
Profile selection: Choose aluminum, stainless steel, or plastic materials according to the spatial style, and the surface treatment can be matte, glossy, or wood grain.
Spacing control: It is recommended that the spacing between adjacent profiles should not exceed 10cm to avoid bright and dark stripes.
Wiring specification: The power cord should be hidden in the profile card slot or led to the nearest socket through the cable slot.
2. Track surface installation
The track system achieves flexible movement of lamps through dedicated tracks and sliders, suitable for scenes such as exhibitions, clothing stores, etc. that require dynamic adjustment of light positions. The technical points include:
Track selection: Choose single-phase or three-phase tracks according to the load, with a single-phase track bearing capacity of ≤ 20kg/m and a three-phase track capacity of up to 50kg/m.
Lamp adaptation: A plug that matches the track is required, and some brands provide a rotating plug to achieve ± 90 ° angle adjustment.
Safety regulations: Terminal covers must be installed at the end of the track to prevent the risk of electric shock.
二, Concealed installation: the ultimate pursuit of integrated design
1. Pre embedded installation
Pre embedded installation requires embedding the profiles into the wall or ceiling structure during the initial stage of decoration to achieve the effect of "visible light but not visible light". The core process includes:
Structural reservation:
When installing on the wall, a 1.5cm deep groove with a width 0.5cm wider than the profile should be reserved in the plastering layer.
When installing the ceiling, it is necessary to reserve installation positions for profiles in the keel frame to ensure that they are flush with the gypsum board.
Waterproof treatment: Waterproof profiles should be used in damp environments such as kitchens and bathrooms, and waterproof glue should be applied to the joints.
Seam treatment: Fill the gap between the profile and the wall with putty, and cover the surface with the same color paint to achieve seamless effect.
2. Submerged installation
The sunken installation creates a suspended ceiling effect by setting a step structure at the edge of the ceiling and embedding linear lights inside the steps. The technical points include:
Size control: It is recommended that the step width be ≥ 8cm and the depth be ≥ 5cm to ensure the installation space of the profile.
Light Efficiency Optimization: Adopting a 45 ° angled light output design to avoid glare and enhance spatial depth.
Maintenance design: It is necessary to reserve maintenance openings on the inside of the steps for later maintenance.
三, Special scenario installation: tailored solutions
1. Installation of stair treads
The stair step linear light achieves night guidance and atmosphere creation by embedding profiles on the step facade. The key points of construction include:
Power layout: It is recommended to set up a power circuit every 3-5 steps to avoid voltage attenuation.
Anti slip design: The surface of the profile needs to be treated with anti slip, or choose an acrylic face mask with anti slip patterns.
Waterproof and dustproof: Use lighting fixtures with IP65 protection level and fill them with sealant to prevent dust from entering.
2. Cabinet installation
Cabinet linear lights are embedded in shelves or side panels to achieve product display or operational lighting. Application scenarios include:
Bookcase: Embed profiles under the shelves to provide uniform reading light.
Wine cabinet: LED light strips are embedded in the glass door frame to highlight the color of the wine.
Wardrobe: Install an induction type linear light above the hanging pole to achieve instant illumination when the cabinet is opened.
3. Wall washing and installation
The wall washing linear lamp achieves uniform illumination of the wall surface through diffuse reflection of profiles, and is divided into three types:
Direct beam type: The profile is installed vertically on the wall, with a light output angle of 30 ° -45 °, suitable for low rise spaces.
Side shooting: The profile forms a 15 ° angle with the wall, creating a gradient of light and shadow, suitable for art galleries.
Indirect: Wall lighting is achieved through ceiling reflection, with soft light effects, suitable for bedrooms and conference rooms.
四, Innovative Installation Technology: Technology Empowered Lighting Experience
1. Magnetic installation
Magnetic linear lamps are attached to metal surfaces by magnets, without the need for drilling or gluing, and are suitable for scenes such as wrought iron furniture and metal decorative panels. The technological advantages include:
Quick disassembly and assembly: Single lamp installation time ≤ 30 seconds, easy to clean and maintain.
Adjustable angle: Some products support 360 ° rotation to meet personalized lighting needs.
Safety design: Built in overload protection module to prevent the lamp from falling due to insufficient magnetic attraction.
2. Installation of flexible light strips
Flexible LED light strips are fixed with 3M adhesive or card slots and can be bent into any shape, suitable for curved or irregular spaces. The key points of construction include:
Cutting specification: Every 3 light beads form a group and need to be cut at the cutting mark.
Welding process: Use a constant temperature soldering iron to avoid damaging the lamp beads due to high temperature.
Heat dissipation treatment: A 5cm heat dissipation gap should be reserved per meter of light strip, or an aluminum substrate should be used to enhance heat dissipation.
3. Integration of intelligent control system
Modern linear lights can be linked with smart home systems to achieve scene based control. The technical solution includes:
Wireless networking: Connected lighting fixtures through ZigBee and Bluetooth Mesh protocols, supporting remote control through mobile apps.
Sensor linkage: integrating human body sensing and lighting sensors to achieve automated control of the lights on and off when people come and go.
Color adjustment: Some products support 16 million color adjustments to meet the needs of entertainment venues such as KTV and bars.
五, Construction specifications and acceptance standards
1. Construction process control
Line positioning: Use a laser level to ensure that the flatness error of the profile installation is ≤ 2mm/m.
Fixed process: Wall installation requires the use of expansion screws with a spacing of ≤ 50cm; The installation of the ceiling requires the use of self tapping screws with a spacing of ≤ 30cm.
Electrical safety: The power cord should use flame-retardant BV wire, be protected by conduit, and have a grounding resistance of ≤ 0.1 Ω.
2. Acceptance criteria
Light efficiency test: Use an illuminance meter to measure the illuminance of the working surface, with an error of ≤± 10%.
Color temperature consistency: The color temperature deviation of lamps in the same space is ≤ 100K.
Safety testing: Insulation resistance ≥ 2M Ω, withstand voltage test 1500V/1min without breakdown.
