Relaxing in the sauna or bath is not only pleasant, but also useful. It is this factor that affects the attendance of such institutions. Having such a place to relax at home, you can get together with friends or the whole family and have fun together without leaving far from home.
One of the design features of the sauna is the minimum number of windows or their complete absence, therefore the installation of a light supply system inside such a room is simply irreplaceable.
Features lighting bath
Lighting the bath is the most diverse, but the most effective is the arrangement of LED lighting. This is the best option. But why is this the preferred option for organizing lighting inside a bathhouse or sauna?
The use of heat-resistant tape in conditions of high humidity becomes possible due to its tightness and long life.
Bathhouse or sauna - a building that involves the presence of several types of premises:
- fonts;
- shower room;
- steam rooms;
- lounges;
- premises with a pool.
In most of these rooms, a high level of humidity is one of the features that determine the functioning of the bath, therefore it can not be overlooked. The use of heat-resistant tape is preferable in such rooms.
Look at the figure below what the connection diagram of the LED strip looks like, which is first brought to the controller, and then connected to the power supply.
Benefits of LED Strip
The first and probably most important is the improved aesthetic appearance of the room as a result of the organization of such lighting. Among other advantages of LED lighting, which can be used in any of the rooms of the sauna, the following:
- Moisture resistance, which should be noted. But it is worth considering that not every LED will work in conditions of high humidity, therefore, when buying a heat-resistant tape, it is worth paying attention to this factor.
- Marking. The presence of special signs makes it clear what to take. For a sauna, it is preferable to choose LED strip or lamps with a degree of protection IP65, IP67 or IP68. Moreover, the former are covered with a moisture-proof protective heat-resistant coating on one side only, which makes the electronic part of the printed circuit board vulnerable. The rest of the above types are completely isolated, therefore there are no restrictions on them.
- Possibility of coordinated functioning at low voltage or its instability.
- Low power consumption. At the same time, the heat-resistant LED strip emits so much light that it provides the proper level of lighting inside the steam room.
- Long operational period.
- The ability to use to illuminate the pool in the water column.
What stand out from the shortcomings?
Speaking about the disadvantages of using heat-resistant adhesive tape inside the bathhouse or sauna, you should remember about the premature failure of the diodes due to too high air temperature.
The optimum temperature for the LED to operate in the range from -40 ... + 30 ° C. When the upper limit is exceeded, overheating of the lamp occurs, which reduces the life of the products. With this in mind, it is not recommended to use most types of tape with LEDs belonging to the LED category inside the steam room. Optical fiber in this case will be more profitable.
To summarize
When organizing this kind of lighting inside the steam room, which undoubtedly looks spectacular, you can use a special heat-resistant tape, which is coated with a special two-component composition of heat-resistant silicone, which protects each element from temperature overheating.
Now you know what a heat-resistant strip with LEDs is and you can figure out the choice of tape for a sauna or bath. This kind of lighting will help to create spectacular lighting inside each of the rooms where the traditional option of placing lighting devices is unacceptable.
