New Year's illuminationIn the West, an indispensable attribute of the approachingChristmas is a festive illumination on the facades of houses. At us this custom is not very common yet, but nevertheless on some houses it is possible to see celebratory lights of New Year's garlands. Let's figure out what it is like New Year's illumination.



Of course, the New Year's illuminationon the facade of the house - this is the lot of those who live in private houses: in a high-rise building you will not develop separately. If you hang on the first floor - they can steal (this is our harsh reality, alas), and hang on other floors - high. So in a multi-storey house it is better to decorate the interior with an illumination (this is called light design), but in a private you can decorate the facade.



What is New Year's illumination made of? If earlier the only option was garlands with the most ordinary incandescent lamps, now the palm tree is occupied by Christmas garlands of light-emitting diodes. LED garlands brightly shine, longserve, are safe (do not heat up as much as incandescent lamps), are environmentally friendly, insensitive to low temperatures (which is especially important for New Year's illumination).



Very often for New Year's illumination is used duralight. This is a colored or transparent cord made of flexiblepolymers, inside which the LEDs are located. Due to the fact that the cord inside is not hollow (the space between the LEDs is filled with PVC), the duralite is characterized by its flexibility, strength, shock resistance and water resistance.



Duralight is flat and round, differs from also by the type of luminescence. A constant even glow is called fixing. When the controller is connected, several LED flash modes can be configured, this light is called chasing.



But there are New Year's illumination of other species. This is primarily various garlands of light-emitting diodes or ordinary incandescent bulbs. They can decorate the facade of the house, trees and bushes in the garden, gazebo, fence, and you can hang them inside the house, for example, decorating a Christmas wreath with a garland.



Garlands of incandescent bulbs are cheaper, the light from them is softer than from LEDs LED garlands he is more "cold"). But at the same time, incandescent bulbs consume more electricity, heat up more, and their service life is less.



To decorate the house you can choose an ordinary garland of the bulbs connected in series. It can shine smoothly or blink (Twinkle Light). There is also a kind of New Year's illumination, called light rain (light curtain, play-light). It consists of suspender-garlands attached to the connectors of a special bus. This "rain" can decorate the walls, ceiling, window and door openings.



For outdoor decoration of the house you can use light network. This is a network of wires in which small light-emitting diodes or light bulbs are located at the intersections. To decorate the trees use garlands clip-light. It is a low-voltage garland, which is a two-wire wire with bulbs or LEDs on it. They are located with a certain step.



Also New Year's illumination can have the form LED panel or LED strip. And the most chic is the New Year's illumination in the form of luminous sculptures: deer, trees, etc. The basis of such a figure is a metal frame, it is attached to a LED garland.



New Year's illumination is powered bythe mains is connected directly or via a transformer. Therefore, the main criterion for choosing the location of New Year's illumination is the availability of connectivity to the power grid. Special devices are used for control. New Year's illumination must be certified and comply with fire safety standards.



Of course, New Year's illumination is not a cheap pleasure. The cost is affected by different moments: type of selected illuminations, its number, volumeworks and the complexity of installation. The cost increases if you are made, say, a light panel or a glowing figure under the order, on an individual sketch.



Installation of New Year's illumination is better entrusted to specialists - this is not always a safe thing. Although if you make out not the facade of the house, but the interior of the room, you can fully handle on their own. New Year's illumination is a great way to create a festive mood. A large selection of garlands practically does not limit you in the decoration of the facade and interior.
