The plafond is one of the functional elements of the lighting device. It serves to protect the eyes from blinding and is an important component of the stylistic design of the room. Lampshades are different in design, color and material for their manufacture.
Functional Features
Modern shades are not afraid of the high temperature, so they can be used with any lamp: fluorescent, halogen, LED and energy-saving. They are made to protect bulbs from dust and mechanical damage, and protect people from blinding light.
They are also an important part of the interior. Sometimes to update the appearance of a room it is enough to hang a lampshade of a different shape, color or style. Some manufacturers of electrical appliances immediately with the product supply a set of several shades. This greatly simplifies the operation of devices.
Varieties of shades
By design, they are closed (have the shape of a ball and gently scatter light throughout the room), half-open, open (focus in a certain area).
They can be round, cylindrical or conical in shape. The color of the lampshade significantly affects the light intensity and aesthetic orientation of the design of the room.
Lampshades are made of such materials:
- Glass. The advantage is transparency, good reflective ability, a wide selection of shades. The disadvantage is fragility. Such products are not used in children's rooms.
- Metal. The material does not deform or break. Easy to clean and environmentally friendly.
- Plastic. Lampshades made of this material are sold at affordable prices. Plastic lampshades are light, have many shades. Do not combine in a classic interior with expensive furniture and elaborate decoration.
A plafond is an electrical appliance that does not require painstaking care. It is enough to periodically wipe it from dust with a soft cloth with a delicate detergent. Do not use abrasive substances so as not to scratch the material from which it is made.
