LED chandeliers with remote control: photos of popular models for all rooms
Light effects are best seen with your own eyes. However, I tried to collect the most original photographs. They will help you choose the most suitable option for creating unique lighting in the room with various useful innovations.
Chandelier for the children's room: LED butterfly chandelier with lighting effects from the remote control and switch
At dusk with the power turned off, the appearance of the lighting device does not particularly stand out, which is clearly visible in the photo below.
In sunny weather, the built-in lenses shimmer with light so that even without electric lighting they attract attention.
Remote control allows you to create various effects on three channels:
- central lighting;
- built-in LED strip;
- four separate lamps.
Most modes are accessible from the switch. But, in this case, they are generated randomly, and selected from the remote control according to a planned program.
A small part of the modes shown below will help present the picture more realistically.
Such reflections of light, as my observations have shown, delight children when they themselves actively participate in these processes.
Chandelier in the living room: modern models
You can surprise a visitor who comes to you and impress him with the design of the lamp by investing heavily in the design of the lighting device, or in a budget way, shown below.
Expensive devices include a musical chandelier for the living room and models with original crystal compositions of unusual shapes.
Musical chandelier
This very original ceiling chandelier for the living room is now gaining peak popularity. It is usually made in the form of a cake or plate.
It may not differ in appearance from ordinary lamps: when controlled from a remote control or from a switch, it also changes the light and color effects.
A microprocessor device is built inside its case, which allows you to set such basic functions as:
- lamp with adjustable lighting;
- color music with various lighting effects;
- remote-controlled music center;
- alarm;
- programmable night light.
To control it, just install software from the manufacturer with a simple interface on your smartphone and use it for your pleasure.
Communication is carried out via Bluetooth. Your favorite music can be uploaded to the cloud and taken from it according to scheduled requests.
The case design and external design may differ significantly from one model to another in terms of shape, design, design of crystal pendants, optical amplifiers and reflectors.
For those wishing to learn more about the operation of musical lamps, I recommend watching the video of the owner of CITILUX Lamps.
Vertical ceiling chandelier in the living room
Among the fashion trends, unusually perceived lamps began to stand out, located in a vertical space from the ceiling almost to the floor.
I tried to show one of the options for this design and the lighting effects in the photo below.
DIY chandelier for the living room with remote control
Here I present the most budget-friendly option for converting an old Soviet model with incandescent lamps into a modern module with lighting effects from the remote control. I show some of them in the photo.
The homemade idea is quite simple: we ordered LED lamps with a remote control from China by mail. Then we screwed them into a socket instead of old light bulbs with incandescent filaments, and then set them up according to the instructions.
This technology is described in detail in the article here. Read if anyone is interested.
See the video “LED lamp with remote control in a regular chandelier” for color effects.

The model still remains popular. It is being modernized with modern light bulbs and glowing strips. The rays passing through the crystal create additional highlights and shades.
Chandelier for suspended ceiling with film coating
The original LED ceiling light with remote control is specially designed to reflect glare from the film. Due to this, additional effects are formed.
Types of LED chandeliers
All ceiling chandeliers are divided into types:
- Office chandeliers comply with the requirements and standards for lighting the work area. They increase performance while sparing our vision and reduce energy consumption.
LED chandelier for office
- Ultra-thin panel chandeliers with a body thickness of up to 12 mm are ideal for rooms with common low ceilings. They can be easily mounted in a suspended, recessed or surface-mounted manner.
The panel chandelier is suitable for industrial premises and institutions.
- Spot chandeliers are designed for suspended ceilings. They are fireproof and 2.5 times more economical than even energy-saving lamps.
Such chandeliers are installed on any part of the ceiling.
- Anti-vandal lamps for housing and communal services will save 80% on lighting costs, working for 15 years.
LED chandelier for housing and communal services - the most protected design.
- Warehouse lights are designed for rooms with very high ceilings and will reduce overall energy costs by up to 70%.
Warehouse chandeliers of increased power and brightness illuminate hangars, warehouses, and industrial facilities.
Advice! For a bedroom or children's room, an LED chandelier is better suited, emitting warm light with a temperature of less than 3500 K, and lamps with a color rendering index of less than 80 are generally unsuitable for home use.
Ceiling chandeliers of distributed light
- There are LED ceiling chandeliers with light sources located at a distance from one another on metal slats (tires) or guy ropes with a common switch. These are distributed light fixtures. Catalogs offer all kinds of chandeliers on guy wires.
- The original combination of LED and halogen lamps in a chandelier will give unusual interior lighting.
Ceiling chandeliers on a rail allow you to combine pendants and spotlights in accordance with current needs.
Ceiling chandeliers
Standard apartment buildings have rooms with low ceilings, and this should be taken into account when choosing modern ceiling chandeliers. The most correct solution to this problem of low ceilings will be innovative ceiling-mounted chandeliers (see LED ceiling light fixture: selection and installation).
Only they can be located at a minimum distance from the ceiling surface. And this is precisely what allows such a chandelier to perfectly illuminate the entire space of the room and create the impression of a high room with the same low ceilings.
Ceiling-mounted LED chandeliers are practical, functional, and also beautiful and capable of creating a comfortable atmosphere, effectively emphasizing the style of our home.
How to choose an LED chandelier in 5 steps: simple instructions
Each lamp should be selected for the specific tasks of the room, taking into account its technical capabilities. LED lighting in an apartment must be created not according to external personal sensations, but on the basis of an accurate scientific approach.
Step No. 1: preparing work areas according to lighting levels
To calculate the illumination of the working areas of a room, you can turn to different technologies.
I recommend using an online calculator. You will need to measure the dimensions of your room and the height of the walls from the ceiling to the workplace and the floor, enter the necessary data and click the “Calculate” button.
He will do the rest himself.
Step No. 2: taking into account possible damage during operation
Since I always try to put safety issues first, I especially focus your attention on them here.
Electric lamps must be located at a safe height and securely fastened. Glass parts of lighting fixtures should be protected from accidental mechanical impact.
Step No. 3: assessing the appearance of the lamp for the design and interior of the room
Each person has his own preferences and tastes. However, be sure to discuss your choice with those closest to you. You better choose the best option that suits all parties.
Step No. 4: analysis of the technical characteristics of the light source
The safety and attractiveness of the workplace will be ensured by at least 4 parameters:
- choosing the right dispersion angle;
- the brightness of the lamp and its distance;
- choosing the color of the spectrum according to its effect on the body;
- Colorful temperature.
Step No. 5: features of installation and connection technology
I explain this issue below because it is closely intertwined with the design of an LED lamp. This means you will need to know its device.
And a number of other advantages
In addition to the advantages already mentioned, a number of important factors can be identified:
- The cost-effectiveness of LED chandeliers does not reduce the quality of their work; the diodes provide uniform illumination without flicker perceptible to the eye.
- They turn on instantly, with a delay of a maximum of a tenth of a second.
- An ideal solution for suspended ceilings. Even with very long continuous operation, an LED chandelier does not heat up the suspended ceiling.
- Even during prolonged operation, they do not heat up, and all energy goes exclusively to producing light, ensuring high efficiency.
- The voltage they require is quite low, and they do not contain any harmful elements, which makes such a light source absolutely safe.
- LED chandeliers have significant vibration resistance and are extremely durable; they are little susceptible to mechanical damage if you accidentally catch the LED chandelier with a long object.
The service life of the diode is more than 50,000 hours, which means that such a lamp will serve you faithfully for a very long time.
Diagram of a chandelier with an LED control panel in simple words
To begin with, I will show you the structure and location of the luminous elements that my butterfly chandelier uses. They are divided into three categories:
- 4 LED lamps screwed into glass shades at the ends of the wings;
- 3 garlands of LEDs;
- 5 additional effects lamps.
These modules from three categories are powered through separate channels: A, B and C, which are formed on the controller and control panel.
There is also an additional channel D, which performs a general switching on and off of all lamps simultaneously.
The chandelier circuit with an LED control panel operates remotely from the remote control or by manipulating the switch key. I tried to show the principles of these interactions with a simplified block diagram.
When I had to repair the controller, I saw all these functions on the packaging of the kit, which I had to buy in addition in the store.
The same circuit is shown directly on the electronic module housing.
Pay attention to the permitted load switching power of the contact key: its value of 1000 watts is more than sufficient to connect not only LED sources, but also incandescent lamps.
How to make a simple LED chandelier from LED strip
Let's consider an easy-to-use option - a square-shaped outline. Dimensions are selected according to the size of the room. This chandelier can be used not only as illumination, but also as main lighting.
For assembly you will need:
- ice strip running on 12 volts (preferably with LEDs arranged in 2 rows - it will be brighter);
- power supply for connecting to the network;
- U-shaped aluminum profile with plastic cover;
- pieces of PCB (for example, from unnecessary boards);
- short screws;
- pencil;
- screwdriver;
- soldering iron
First, the frame is assembled. The profile is divided according to the size of the side of the square (you will need 4 identical parts), the ends are filed at 45°. Cut out the textolite with the letter “G”. The thickness should be such that the pieces fit into the corners of the frame. The squares are assembled with screws.
The diode strip is cut to size. Remove the protective layer and glue it inside the body. Solder the wires or use special connectors for connection. For a square design, corner ones will be required.
Important! Only tin is suitable as solder. Acids attack conductors and can cause short circuits.
The ends are pulled out and connected to an adapter that converts 220V AC to 12V DC. The power supply is usually hidden in a niche, above a cabinet, or in another inconspicuous place. The length of the wire is selected taking into account the distance from this point to the lamp.
The plastic cover is trimmed at an angle of 45°. Insert into frame. The chandelier is ready.
How to install a chandelier on the ceiling correctly and securely
Conventional lightweight lamps are attached to the concrete floor slab with special transition strips included in the lighting kit. They can be single or double in the shape of a cross.
To install them you will need to perform three operations:
- Punch holes in the concrete using a hammer drill according to pre-made markings.
- Insert plastic dowels into them and screw self-tapping screws through the bar.
- Prepare the wires for connection to the terminal block.
The lamp body is placed on protruding studs and secured with decorative nuts and washers.
For heavy lamps, the industry produces suspension mounts and hooks with rotary or stationary stops of various types.
In the case of using a suspended or suspended ceiling, the chandeliers are attached to a concrete slab through mounting adapters, which, during preliminary preparation, are fixed in the base base.
After setting the lower level of the stretch ceiling at its height, the lamp body is finally mounted in a standard manner.
The design of the mounting adapter can be anything: from special metal plates with holes or movable and stationary brackets to an ordinary wooden block.
Do not forget to check the reliability of installation of the lighting device on the building structure. To do this, try to pull it out of the fastening place with your hand. Perform the test before applying voltage.
The most important thing is the weather in the house - why diodes are good
Lamps powered by diodes make it possible to create an optimal level of illumination that is comfortable for the eyes and favorably emphasizes your interior. Such chandeliers are usually small in size and extremely light in weight. They are easy to install; they can be placed on a flat ceiling surface even without preliminary preparation of holes for fastenings.
The market offers a huge range of LED chandeliers of all types and shapes, from all kinds of materials. Therefore, choosing an option that fits perfectly into the decor of your apartment will not be difficult. You don’t even need to rack your brains for a long time, looking for advice from a designer. This chandelier will fit anywhere. But do not forget about the incompatibility of styles. Even stylized, such a chandelier is not suitable for country, chalet, Provence and other genres close to nature or antiquity.
How to connect an LED chandelier with a remote control to a switch with your own hands
Let's remember what the diagram for connecting the simplest switch to a regular incandescent light bulb looks like.
Safety rules developed over many years of practice state:
- The working zero must be carried out without breaks from the housing panel to the near contact of the electric cartridge.
- The phase potential must be switched with a switch and brought to the farthest contact of the base.
- The re conductor comes to the housing via one common line.
The power supply circuit for the TN-C system does not use a Re conductor, which is why it is not used in old wiring.
A modern LED chandelier with a remote control is connected to a 220-volt network exactly according to the same principles. Its terminal block has contacts for connecting to each of the potentials: L, N, Pe.
The internal wiring is already done at the factory inside the case and should work immediately when voltage is applied.
Factory specialists carry out pre-sale preparations, testing products with high quality. However, it reaches the end consumer after transportation over long distances and storage in warehouse conditions, which reduces reliability.
Therefore, I recommend evaluating the operation of a purchased LED device not after installation on the ceiling, but immediately after unpacking the container on the table: perform an internal inspection, apply voltage, and analyze all light modes.
Complex inspection conditions at height are much easier to perform at a regular table.
