Suspended Ceiling Mount Lighting Applications at Home

Choosing the right mounting solution for LED lights at home is key to maximizing their potential. These days, there are plenty of options available that go beyond traditional surface or wall mounts. A light mounting solution that deserve more attention is suspended ceiling mounts. Read on to find out why ceiling hanging mount LED lights could be right for your home.

What are Ceiling Hanging Mount Lights?

Suspended ceiling mount lights are secured on the ceiling with the light hanging down, which can sometimes appear inverted. Spacing between the lamp and the ceiling allows the light to function close to areas where activities frequently take place. The method of suspension is typically a chain or cable (extended pipes are also sometimes used).

There are two types of lamps that perform well when mounted this way. An LED light that offers full, 360 degrees of illumination is useful for lighting up several types of rooms. This type of lamp is suspended closer to ceilings, as the units are very bright and can cover general spaces with ease. A light with a parabolic reflector may also be installed with suspended ceiling mounts. The reflector component helps direct light towards the desired area requiring illumination.

Installation and Overhead Mounting

Due to the versatile options that come with suspended ceiling mount lights, there are numerous places to install the units at home. Garages that function as spaces for crafts and hobbies may benefit from linear suspended ceiling mount LED lights setup over long tables. By keeping the lights overhead, homeowners can free up space on the floor. Furthermore, by allowing the LED unit to hang directly over the desired area, light spillage around the garage is greatly minimized.

Lastly, this type of light can be setup to hang close to sections of the home where everyday tasks are conducted, such as over kitchen counters.
