How beautiful to hang a garland on the wall?

A garland assembled from LEDs, after purchase, needs to be hung on the wall or suspended from the ceiling. The room in which the auxiliary light is designed in this way will take on a festive look.

There are several ways to hang an LED string. In the simplest case small nails are hammered into the wall... If the weight of the product is quite large and ranges from several hundred grams, then the nails will perfectly hold it on the wall. In this case, the wires are tied up in several places that serve as anchor points.

In this case, the wires themselves are not damaged.

Double-sided tape is suitable mainly for walls that have been painted. Lacquered wood or plastic wall panels also help secure the double-sided tape securely. The disadvantage of this method is that the tape will stick firmly to the wall over time. When removed, it leaves a sticky residue. Scotch tape cannot be attached to a whitewashed wall - it is too dusty. Everything said above about the scotch tape fully applies to the glue gun. In addition, hot glue, after removing it from the wall, can damage its paint or whitewash, which will then have to be restored.

Push pins work well for a wall covered with cloth or wallpaper. The thumbtacks fit the tree most securely. The spike for such a button should be at least a centimeter long. Traces left by thumbtacks are practically invisible from afar.

Suction cup hooks are more suitable for lacquered, painted or glass surfaces... They attach securely to painted steel or aluminum. The main requirement is that the metal surface must be perfectly smooth and even. Vacuum suction cups are fixed directly to the glass of a double-glazed unit, on a tile or tile with a glossy and smooth surface.

The basic rule for any type, type and variety of fastening the garland to the wall, window or door jamb is to fastening material did not spoil the surface, which serves as a support in each case.

Decorating a room with your own hands using dynamic or continuous burning light is sometimes a whole art. This is especially true when not one, but dozens of colored LED strips are used. There are two types of LED lighting used in everyday life - flexible neon and duralight. The first type is products that give out an even and uniform light. The second includes light strips, in which the light of individual LEDs is clearly distinguishable.

Specific types include different types of garlands.

• Filiform - LEDs placed in protective housings are connected with a long cord. Additional contour figures can be supplied to them, which they highlight, repeating their outlines.

• LED mesh - the cords cross each other. It is a type of thread from which the cellular structure is assembled.

• Fringe, "Rains" and other garlands similar to them. These are secondary cords with LEDs connected to the main one by bus type. Compared to a shorter fringe, such a garland hangs down to one and a half meters. Connoisseurs use it as a luminous curtain on the door.

You can beautifully hang a garland on the wall, for example, in the form of a Christmas tree outline. This is especially true for the New Year.

To depict the luminous outline of a large tree, you will need more than one hundred LEDs. This decor looks quite original. Christmas-tree decorations are placed inside the luminous contour, filling the entire space in it with them. This is a great way to avoid buying pine or a small spruce - the Christmas conifer is effectively simulated with paraphernalia that is not really a real Christmas tree. The hosts and guests are already in a festive mood.

Choose the photos that are most valuable to you. They can be attached to the garland with clothespins or clips. The photographs are hung instead of a painting or reproduction within a large wooden photo frame, which, in turn, is filled with these photographic materials.

After creating the desired image on the wall, some details can be highlighted by laying out the required contour from an LED thread or cord.

In addition to the contour of the tree, with the help of luminous LED strips, it is easy to free-form patterns are formed... They will give the room a special coziness that will fully please everyone - from the owner to other household members and guests.

An alternative to a pattern is an inscription that reflects the state of mind of the owners and the atmosphere of the holiday. The contours of the pattern can be any image or picture - to emphasize its main lines, you will need more than one hundred LEDs, but more often a white or yellow garland is hung on a frame that it fits around the perimeter. A bold idea - a declaration of love to a girl or wife, which her man collected on the wall from garlands, placing them in the form of an inscription.

Decorative christmas garland over the bed can turn into a year-round backlight or the so-called intimate light. This allows you to additionally decorate the room with multi-colored light without purchasing lighting strips.

A garland is the same LED strip as a regular lighting strip, only it uses a special dimmer that provides flashing, and instead of a substrate made on a printed circuit board, wires are suspended, suitable for each of the LEDs. Besides, garlands are made completely safe - they have a driver or power supply unit that converts the mains voltage of 220 volts to, say, 12 or 24 volts, which is almost completely safe for a person working without protective equipment. With the advent of light-emitting diodes on the market, the time has passed when garlands were considered electro-traumatic - in them, LEDs are connected mainly in parallel by small series-connected groups.

If you go outside the room or apartment, it becomes possible to organize holiday lights in the yard. This is especially true for country houses. In recent years, it has become fashionable to display your New Year's (or any other festive) lighting - a garland is hung around the perimeter of a metal-plastic glass unit with the help of double-sided tape. Anyone passing by the windows will see multi-colored illumination. Shops, supermarkets, all kinds of retail outlets use light ribbons and garlands to attract additional customers.

Some solutions that are striking in their beauty can be realized just by looking at the illustrations below.

Electric lighting above the table in the form of yellow stars will decorate the interior of the kitchen-living room... As an example - a long cord, folded in the form of a serpentine track, vaguely resembling a zigzag. The lighting is on continuously - it is suitable even for a non-festive atmosphere at home. This embodiment of a small backlight on the wall does not need any excuse. This option is often used by all kinds of art cafes, hookahs, where an atmosphere of comfort and ease for lovers and married couples is maintained. Instead of star shapes, cases of white or matte-transparent design in the form of hearts, faceted diamonds, and so on can be used. The imagination and ingenuity of the founder, organizer of such a design is not limited. The prototype for this solution was a white star-shaped lamp installed in wardrobes in the mid-2000s.

A rather bold decision is to decorate the workplace at the computer. So, if you are often engaged in game streaming, then the audience will see your image on the screen with a blinking light, which will attract additional subscribers who later saw you in a new, so to speak, light. Small garlands are hung around the perimeter of the monitor display - but so as not to expose the player to the pixel matrix of the display itself. The reflected reflections will be sent along with the image of his face (and workplace) to the webcam.

In some cases, the entire wall is hung with LED garlands. There are prefabricated models on which the main cord (bus) has a reinforced wire cross-section. Each of the dozens of garlands has contacts (terminal pins) for connection to terminal blocks located throughout the cord.The connection of long strings is purely parallel: the power supply produces 3.4 volts, converting 220 volts from the outlet. The power of the power supply unit is selected with a margin. It reaches hundreds of watts, and the garland itself - all of its segments - are designed for a total current consumption of tens of watts. The power supply is located in an inconspicuous place for an outside observer - for example, behind the back wall of a computer desk or behind a mirror. The cord, whose insulation is transparent, slightly dyed silicone, will not spoil the design of the room. The LED wires are rather thin so as not to catch the eye of anyone entering the room. The vertical luminous threads-garlands are arranged almost straight and evenly - and effectively decorate the wall in the room even when the overhead light is off.

Some home craftsmen weave or sew LED strip into a light curtain or blackout curtain, place it in the blinds.

Such the light will be complemented by a round mirror, leaning against the wall - it reflects part of the light into the ceiling, as well as in front of itself, from all sides. This lighting decoration looks very creative in a guest room, where there is a TV and stereo system, a table or long stand with a built-in bookshelf, paintings and reproductions on the wall.

A bedroom in which preference is given to pastel-whitish tones and soft colors, for example, is decorated as follows. Above the head of the bed, there is an LED circuitry that resembles the outline of a small house. This drawing is a reference to home comfort, such a frame looks no less creative. You can do the opposite: during the day on a white wall, dark wires indicate a contour, for example, a star, a tree branch or a flower. A guest who has visited this room for the first time will not immediately guess that there is a garland in front of him, and not a simple decoration, until the owner of the room turns on this garland.

Light garlands - one of the brightest methods to express yourself. Whether you got a few ready-made garlands, or you assembled them yourself, having ordered hundreds or thousands of multi-colored LEDs in China, let your imagination run wild, and those around you will be delighted with the holiday atmosphere you created.

Some people don't like the look of a simple garland - they want something more original. If you are one of them, we recommend watching the following video:
