Recessed fluorescent lamps are also in great demand. They are mostly square or rectangular in shape. They are used in those rooms in which suspended ceilings are mounted.

For example, the lamp will not be effective if the room is cold (less than +5 degrees), or it will shine very dimly. Like any other electrical equipment, the presented product is undesirable for use in rooms with high humidity. Although this is possible, if the room is well ventilated and the equipment is secureprotected.

Large fluorescent structures can also be used at home, but spotlights will become more effective. They fit perfectly into the interior and will work effectively. Moreover, you can make any accents in the design of the room with the help of such elements.

In order for the eyes not to get tired of the bright light, the lamp should be covered with a frosted glass or plastic cover that can scatter the beam. Otherwise, you will feel discomfort or headache. To prevent this from happening, you can also use a fluorescent fixture with a grille.
