the main / Protection \\ Hydones

Each driver who spends a lot of time behind the wheel will not refuse to improve the cabin lighting of his car. However, it is not always time to go for this in the car service. Especially since the beautiful light in the cabin is possible. A high-quality interior backlight will be at all no worse than the service.

LED backlighting car interior

First you need to decide on the backlight site. You do not stand here, aesthetics above all. Choose a better classic option and highlight the floor under the front seats and under dashboard.

Also, it is also necessary to determine which light is a monophonic or multi-colored, with the ability to change the color using the control panel. Consider possible options separately.

Option number 1. Multicolor illumination that is fed from the cigarette lighter.

The method of producing electricity from ordinary is the easiest. With this option, it is not necessary to interfere with the electrical chain of your car.

The video shows how it looks like neon lights Car:

What will be needed for this type of connection:

rGB LED ribbon for 4 contacts;
the controller of such a tape with the control panel, it is using these devices;
the wire for 4 colors, stranded, about 5 meters long. It is better that the postings in it had the chromaticity of the same as on the controller;
4 connector (terminal clamp);
soldering iron and soldering material, such as solder and rosin;
silicone transparent sealant.

Before you purchase everything you need for installation, you need to carefully make measurements where the LED tape will be attached, as well as the entire perimeter by which the wires will pass. At first, Merim is the distance under the dashboard, from the side and passenger, where the ribbon will be mounted, then the distance under the front seats. After which you measure the perimeter for which the stranded wire will pass, ranging from the glove, then through the right passenger seat to driver's seat And finally, to the pedals of the car. Leave a little about the reserve.

As a result, 4 segments of the tape and 7 segments of the wire should be obtained. The lighting circuit of the lighting both on the left side and with the right, starting from the glove box, will look like this: tape - wire - connector - wire - connector - wire - tape. Between itself, such a chain is connected by a wire passing between the upper connector. The upper pair of terminal clips is located under the instrument panel, the bottom - under the seats.

The video shows a multi-colored LED interior lighting:

By buying a diode tape, you need to remember that it is possible to cut it into parts only in certain places, strictly along the line coming between metal flat contacts. It should also be remembered that the controller can withstand no more than 12 watts, so it is necessary to pre-calculate the total power of all tape bulbs and, if necessary, reduce its length .

When everything you need purchased:

cut the tape and the wire to the segments we need;
cutting the wires from both sides of the plastic by about 1 cm;
the desired cut is soldered to the tape, each posting to a separate contact;
then, insulating the place of soldering with silicone glue, so that the wires do not cut off and did not touch.

Ribbon with wires secure on its place with the help of bilateral tape or other material. We start in place under the glove compartment. We skip the wires through the terminal clamp, we attach the controller to it, watches each wire to match the color on the controller. We finish the installation of lighting under the pedals of the machine.

All wires are trying to hide under the trim ,. It remains to connect the controller to the cigarette lighter. Use ordinary car charging for mobile phone. We disassemble it and let the wires along the way, bypassing the voltage stabilizer, it is necessary in order to raise the voltage in charge from 4 to 12 watts. One wire is soldered to the fuse, the other to the leg of the right metal ear bypassing the stabilizer, i.e. to "minus". And stick it to the plug into the controller, and the charger in the cigarette lighter. Learning how to connect the LED, it remains only to master the control panel and enjoy light music.

Using this option of connecting light in the cabin, you need to remember that the backlight will be lit only when the ignition key is turned or when the machine is installed.

Option 2. LED backlight, fed from the battery.

To install, you will need:

lED tape for 2 contacts;
the wire consisting of two lives, such as red and black colors, is about 5 meters long;
soldering iron and material for soldering;
sealant;
the toggle switch with the "enabled" and "off" position.

Cut the tape and wires as in the 1st version. Wires solder to the contacts of the tape, each to its pool specified near the contact. We solder the red wire to the positive contact of the tape, and black to the minus contact. Terminal clamps can be used, but you can do without them. How to use them, we already know. It is better to install them, since in the future it will be easier to replace the sections of the sections, and not change the whole tape.

Then the black wire must be reached, stretching it under the rug and the trim. Connect it to the battery. The red wire connect to the bed and further pull it to the plus terminal of the battery and connect it to it. Tumbler placed in a convenient place where it is easy to reach it.
This illumination will work as long as the toggle switch is in the "Included" position.

Make your car individual help different methods. Someone independently pulls the salon, someone seeks to attract attention homemade spoilers. But most often the surrounding impressions of the interior backlight will produce an unforgettable impression.

The lights can burn static or blinking in the tact of playing in the salon music. You can experiment in different ways, the main thing is to apply the necessary durable materials. Then it will not be necessary to redo the diagram or its individual nodes.

When the car's interior lighting is made and mounted, you can select the ways to activate it. As an automatic power on / off, contacts are used from the door opening sensor. You can also use the remote control to include it in necessary driver moment.

Light bands put along the perimeter of the opened door, under the feet of passengers, at the places of standard lighting devices, along the instrument panel, inside the trunk, as well as in the rest of the most likelled salon zones.

Applied materials

The high-quality lighting of the car's salon is distinguished by the competent and relevant use of lighting materials. The most popular sources of light are LED and neon lights. We will analyze the characteristics of both light sources.

LEDs:

often apply due to their simplicity when installing;
most of the procurement materials are subject to fixation using the built-in sticky strip;
each LED takes very little space and can harmoniously fit into the internal zone of standard lighting;
the mounting tape with LEDs is made of durable material;
lEDs have a long service life;
a quick reaction at startup allows you to apply them as light music.

You need to know that before installing the additional backlight of any type, you must disable the battery from the network.

Neon lamps:

neon lamps have bright unusual light;
for properly operation service life may be more than LEDs;
adapted for use in static conditions, without fast on / off cycles;
sensitive to mechanical impacts;
mounting takes longer than the LEDs.

Registration of neon backlight

Beautiful illumination in the cabin of the car with your own hands will be using combined elements. For example, the lower part of the interior is made using neon lamps, and the side and upper decorate LEDs. However, no need to abuse such an element of design. It is necessary to arrange everything so that harmony is created.

You need to know that the excess and a large number of motley lights look short.

For the installation of both types of pre-session, we will select materials. You can start from the bottom of the cabin, where they put neon illuminators. For installation you will need:

set of several neon lamps;
mounting corner of aluminum;
plastic clamps;
self-tapping screws.

In the standard-selling set of neon backlights for the car, the plug is often mounted for connecting the voltage through the cigarette lighter socket. For this operation, it will not be required, so you can pick up a set without it or cut off this plug as unnecessary, and the ends of the wire are cleaned to connect in the scheme.

We measure the length of the aluminum corner for mounting it under the torpedo, we spawn on the desired length and screw in the bottom. Usually mounted first under the glove compartment. On the clamps fix the lamp, directing the future radiation in the desired side. We repeat the operation in the driver's zone and on the rear passenger seats.

Behind the corner must be placed in such a way as to protect the lamp from shocks and random attachments. For this, the corner is fixed with a free edge up.

The ends of the wires are increasing, isolated in places of connection, hide under the upholstery and bring to the torpedo to connect into the circuit. Most simple option It is considered to connect to the door opening sensor or under the overall illumination. It is worthwhile to enter a separate switch for additional lighting.

Dopitive designs from LEDs

Illumination of the cabin using LED begins with the preparation of materials. Most often use two types of RGB or SMD tapes. The second option will be a little more expensive, but it is easier to work with it. Additionally, you can choose single LEDs for the dedicated zones, but more painting car owners are already working with them.

LED counterparts are suitable for replacement of standard lamps with the same constructions of the base. In the other places spends tape. Before installing, you need to extinct the required strip length and cut off the desired piece of tape at fixed points. In the tape, there are usually tight places for breaking the chain. It is for them that needs to be divided. If you cut not according to the specified labels, then there will be no contacts to which the wires are soldered for further wiring.

The ribbon is usually distributed over the torpedo, on the entire perimeter of the roof and descend on the stands of doorways. The fixation is carried out using bilateral tape attached to the LED highway on the reverse side and a closed protective strip. It wept and fix the LED ribbon.

You need to know that when working with LEDs it is necessary to strictly observe the polarity, otherwise they can be spoiled.

To the open ends of the LED ribbon soldering the wires and close the connection with a shrink film. Warming up the soldered closed film place with an industrial or household hair dryer, close from the oxidation of contacts. Next, we output the ends of the wires in the same way as with neon connection.

When using RGB ribbons, you can assemble the circuit with the RGB controller.

Conclusion

Installing a polite illumination in the car does not take much time. If you have all tools and materials, you can spend several hours on the installation. As a result, the car will become more attractive and will receive individual traits.

This car tuning can be held, not possessing professional skills. To improve the lighting of the cabin, give the favorite machine individuality, the driver you need just a little patience and free time.

To install the LED tape, you will not need to visit the car dealership and spend a lot of money. Some craftsmen independently mounted LEDs in the trunk for a total of 500 rubles in the present time.

There are many types of LED ribbons in the car. They are now widely used in the design of the premises, when creating advertising, decoration of the landscape. Ribbons are most often released single-color to facilitate the work of designers when selecting a color solution.

For lighting the car, tapes from LEDs on an adhesive basis are suitable. They are available at a price, easy to install and are reliable to use.

Power

This parameter determines the amount of energy consumed. Dissection is kept for one meter ribbon.

For tape 3028, the following indicators are characterized (in accordance with the number of diodes): 60 - 4.8 watts, 120 - 9.6 watts, 240 - 16.8 watts.
For tape 5050: 30 - 7.2 watts, 60 - 14.4 watts, 120 - 28.8 watts.

Power supply or resistor should be selected with power reserve. 20% of its length is added to the ribbon. This will be the optimal power of the power supply.
Color

Two types of tapes are produced: monochrome - one color and universal RGB - with the ability to change the color (you need the control panel and special, controller).
Moisture protection

This indicator is indicated by the letters of IP. There are three degrees of moisture protection:

20 - used exclusively in dry rooms, open tape (without insulation);
65 - for wet rooms and applies on the street (under a canopy), has a relatively low degree of protection against moisture;
68 - the most resistant to the penetration of moisture type, completely isolated.

Installing LED Ribbon on Auto

Rules for connecting a diode tape in a car:

Before starting tuning, you should decide on the placement of the ribbon and connecting to the power.
The classic is the backlight of the dashboard from the bottom when the light falls to the floor and under the front seat.
Put diodes can be powered by both the power supply () and the cigarette lighter.
The tape is cut only in certain places, along the line between the contacts (through multiple intervals).

This must be considered when calculating the length required for installation.

There is a way to install lighting no interference with car power grid. This will require:

moisture protection RGB tape for four contacts;
four special terminals or connector;
stranded wire (with wiring colors as on controller);
12 V controller (for a passenger car);
silicone sealant.

Before you, it is necessary to study the scheme for installing such a block and the area of \u200b\u200bits application in organizing the power supply of rooms and premises.

With the choice of cross-section of current cables, it is necessary to determine in the process of planning the wiring system of the apartment or at home. The calculation can be done - pre-distributing electricity consumers by groups, or - given its permissible and working density.

The sequence of installing a diode tape on a car in this case suggests:

The tape is paved under the glove compartment, then goes under the front seats, goes to the pedals and rises under the dashboard. Fastened by assembly tape or on its own adhesive base.
In the places of folds, it is cut and connects through and connect their connectors.
Spawning sites are treated with silicone glue for reliability of fastening and preventing moisture.

Total will be 4 segments of the tape. Two connectors will arrange at the top, under the dashboard. Two more below, under the seats. All wiring should be carefully hidden under the trim and panels.

Both ends of the installed tape are attached to the controller. Wiring colors must match the specified colors on the controller.
To connect to the cigarette lighter, you need to upgrade the car charging for the phone. One of its wire is soldered to the fuse, and the second to the right metal case, that is, the stabilizer is attached. The case closes, the plug is inserted into the controller, and itself charger In the cigarette lighter of the car.
Now using the control panel can be controlled by light music.

Such lighting works only when the ignition key is turned or running the motor.

Second installation option It is also suitable for lighting in the cabin, under the hood and in the trunk.

It will take a moisture protection tape with two contacts and a wire with two multi-colored wires.

The red wire is soldered to the "plus" of ribbons, black to "minus". Spawn places are sealed with silicone.
Tape segments are connected by connectors (ribbon, wire, connector, wire, tape).
The black wire is placed under the trim and stretches to the minus terminal of the battery.
Red is attached to the bed, and then to the plus terminal.
The toggle switch is installed in the cabin in such a way that it can be reached by hand.

On a note. Perhaps from the first time the tape will not shine. Nothing wrong! You need to carefully check the polarity of the connection. LEDs from this random error, like a car battery, will not leave.

Such lighting is rather durable and reliably. Any chain element, including a burnt diode, is easy to replace new. It is for this reason that the LEDs every day are becoming increasingly popular among motorists. They decorate not only the salon, but also highlight wheels, the bottom of cars, mirrors.

Work on the installation of LED lighting in the car is a creative process. A little patience and the result obtained will surely please even the most demanding esthete.

An example of a simple installation of the interior lighting LED ribbon for cars on video

The light in the cabin at night is the same thing as, for example, air conditioning in roast and cold time. Standard light, as a rule, lacks for high-quality interior lighting. It is often necessary to find something, see the map, etc. Yes, and it is not very convenient to go in full darkness. That is why many car owners think about setting the backlight in the cabin in addition to standard lighting. In addition, the installation of additional lighting of the cabin is also a way to highlight your car from hundreds of thousands of others, give it a unique, original style. However, you often do not really want to pay for in the workshop. In addition, the installation is quite simple, and for the owner of the car there will be an extra reason to boast of the hand-made tuning.

The backlight in the car's cabin is not only convenient in the dark time, but also stylish

Backlight options

Previously, neon lighting was used for tuning car. It is quite bright, so that from one even the lamp illuminates a rather big space. However, neon is quite expensive, it is very afraid of mechanical damage, often burns out when turning on-off, moreover, more complicated in the installation.

IN last years LED backlight acquires more and more popularity. She has a lot of advantages over the previous option. It is quite simple in the installation, small sizes. This makes it possible to make the backlight of the handles of the cabin, the steering wheel, cigarette lighter and other small elements. In addition, it is less afraid of any mechanical damage, less often burns out. In addition, with the help of LEDs, various light effects can be achieved: from the smooth power on the light in the cabin until the ability to periodically change the color when using RGB LEDs.

And the other option is possible individually. Although it is possible to make an integrated option, part of the salon to highlight neon, part of LEDs.

Where better to install?

Standard additional light in the car's cabin is considered a place under a torpedo and glove compartment, auto, doors, door handles. Although, in principle, you can highlight anything, everything depends on your imagination here. For tuning door handles, ignition lock and other small elements are most often used single diodes, and to highlight the rest of the rest, it is more convenient to use diode tapes.

Preparation for installation

Before switching to the installation, you need to purchase everything you need. If you are going to tuning small details, then you will need single diodes. To create a backlight, instrument panels, etc. You can take a LED tape on the Metrap.

Before buying a tape, you must decide for yourself where you will set lighting, make measurements, and only then calculate the required amount of material. If you decide to buy LED ribbons on the Method, then you will additionally need to buy wires (3-5 meters), a heat shrinking tube or at least a conventional isolate, glue and dimmer. There are on sale and ready-made ribbons for tuning salon with soldered around the edges for connecting. Then torture with measurements, soldering the wires and isolate not yet. Here you just need to fix the finished ribbon in the right place and connect to the power.

Installation on small details

For tuning small parts, it is more convenient to use single diodes.

We prepare a diode to install and connect. We take a diode, we solder the resistor to one of his legs, then we solder the wires and are insulated with open wiring with ordinary tape. Somewhere at a distance of about 20 cm you need to make a terminal connection. So, the LEDs are ready for installation. Next prepare the place of installation. Consider, for example, how the illumination of the cabin handles is installed. For this, and near the handle in the place where you want to install a diode, make holes. They should be small that the diode entered him tight. You can additionally fasten it with glue. Next, stretch the wiring under the trim in the cabin, so that it can be connected later. In the same way, single diodes are installed anywhere in the salon.

Installation of a diode tape

Backlight car interior with your own hands lED ribbon Also done quite simple. Determine the installation site, make the necessary measurements, cut off a piece of the desired length from the tape. Please note that you can only cut out where there are marked spaces for soldering. They are visible on the tape. And even, it is better to cut off a slightly smaller piece than the opposite, otherwise there may be a sagging and a tape badly entrenched. After everything is cut to the edges of the ribbon solder wiring. Check the performance of diodes by connecting them to power, and then installation can be installed. If you have a LED tape with a sticky edge, then you will remove the protective film and glue everything in the right place. If not, here you need glue. Thus, it is possible to establish lighting only on straight sections.

If you need to highlight sections with bends, then everything is done a little differently. After all, the tape is even at an angle of 90 degrees undesirable. Then, for starters, also do measurements, cut off the pieces of the desired length, clean the edges and solder them in the folds of folds. After that, the soldering place is insulating with a shrink tube (for this you put on on the desired area And heating). To the edges, through which the LED tape will be connected to the power, solder wiring, insulating and then install everything in the right place.

Installation of combined backlight

For those who greatly like the neon glow, you can make a complex version of lighting. For example, it is possible to use neon lamps to highlight the feet of the driver and passengers instead of LEDs. There is less risk of their mechanical damage.

For installation, you will need: neon lamps, self-tapping screws, kapron clamps for fastening, aluminum corner.

Often, many neon lamps have a connector to connect to the cigarette lighter. He will not need it. Cutting it and clean the contacts. Next, take the aluminum corner and disconse the piece of the same length as the lamp. Corner screw in torpedo, neon with clamps. Do the same under the glove compartment and below rear seatsTo illuminate the space under the feet of passengers.

All wiring must be hidden and stretched to the torpedo.

Connecting backlight

Connection options may be several. Most often, LED lighting is connected to the cigarette lighter or to the light of the cabin.

To connect to the lighting of the cabin, you will need to remove the ceiling and connect the wires: the white is connected plus to red - minus. If the connection is performed through the cigarette lighter, then for this it will be necessary to connect to the plus of the cigarette lighter, and minus to any place of the car body.

If you need to make the effect of smooth ignition and disconnect the LEDs, the dimmer must be connected.

Neon backlight connects a little differently. As a rule, it is powered by the battery through a specially installed transformer.

conclusions

Thus, the installation of the interior backlight does not require special knowledge and skills. In order to do everything, you will need quite a bit: materials, tools and a bit of patience.

LED lighting of the salon today is popular more than ever. In the cabin any modern car Many diverse sources of light. At a minimum, there is a central lamp in the cabin, located on the ceiling, as well as the "nastrum" light located in the front of the ceiling, in front of the windshield. In addition, there may be lamps in the car in the car located in cosmetic mirrors, in the illumination of the glove box (glovebar), in the lighting of the trunk, thresholds, leg zones, etc.

For all these lighting devices in 95% of cars, two types of lamps are used:

basocolized lamps with W5W label (or, on other classifiers, T10)
sofic lamps with C5W / C10W marking (or, on other classifiers, Festoon - Feston)

The remaining 5% fall on the lamps with the T4W marking principle of which the same as for the W5W lamps.

But even in two, the most common types of lamps are not wonderful, since more than 20 models of each type are presented in our directory of the LED autolapm. Let's try to figure out which models of LED lamps are suitable for the interior of your car.

Type of soccer

Select LED lamps for lighting car interior is not difficult. On the main page of our store, select the brand and model of your car, after which you open the "Lighting Salon" subsection. If you did not find your car in the catalog, or the "Lighting Salon" subsection for the car model you are interested in is not filled, then you will choose the LED lamps for the lighting of the cabin independently will be difficult.

The most reliable way to find out the type of lamps used in the lamps of your car is to open the plaffones and extract regular lamps. If you see that the whole glass lamp with a flat base near a centimeter with a metal mustache, then you are in front of you a w5w radiant lamp:

The power of this small incandescent lamp is 5 watts, and its light stream is approximately 50 lumens (data on the characteristics of incandescent lamps are taken from OSRAM car lamp catalog). To replace this in all parameters of the outdated incandescent lamp, you can choose a modern, brighter and efficient Led Lamp In chapter .

If you see a lamp with two metal cones at the ends, then in front of you sofite (it is a two-ceal) lamp.

This lamp is important to measure the distance between the extreme points of the caps. If the lamp length does not exceed 37 mm, this is a lamp with C5W marking, the power of such an incandescent lamp is 5 watts, and its light flux is approximately 45 liters. If the lamp length is more than 37 mm, then this is a C10W lamp, its power is 10 watts, and the light stream is about 100 lm. On our site the length of the C5W lamps is indicated by the last number in the name of the LED lamp. That is, for example, the F-4S50F31 lamp has a length of 31 mm, and the F-6S50F42 lamp has a length of 42 mm. Select the lamps of this type in the section.

If the lamp is a glass housing with a cylindrical metal base, then this is a T4W lamp:

The power of such a 4 watt lamp, the light stream is about 35 lm, it is possible to choose a replacement in the section.

Space inside the lamp

After the desired type of lamps is defined, it is necessary to inspect the luminaire of the cabin. When choosing sophistic LED Lamps C5W Pay attention to the lamp length, as well as on the space inside the luminaire of the cabin. If the places around the regular lamp a little, such as in this case:

it makes sense to choose a narrow lamp.

If the place is enough and the larger LED lamp will quite fit in the lamp of the salon or trunk, then you can put wider and much brighter lamps.

LED bulbs Larger size ensure uniform light throughout the area of \u200b\u200bthe lamp is a good illumination of the entire scatterer area, that is, they solve a familiar to all the problem "light point".

The lamp that is installed w5W Begotolic LED Lampmay be different shape and size. The first thing to pay attention to is the location of the lamp inside the lamp. If the lamp inside the ceiling is located parallel to the plane of the diffuser, i.e. Simply put, sideways, like in these photos:

It is better to stay on LED side luminescence lamps, for example:

In this case, the entire light flux of the lamp will be directed to the desired side, and not illuminate the walls of the lamp of the cabin of the cabin, as in this photo ...

In addition, it is important to evaluate the space inside the lamp and, if possible, select the larger LED lamp for the best illumination of the entire diffuser. A good example of selecting bright LED lamps for interior lighting:

In the case when the lamp in the lamp is perpendicular to the surface of the diffuser, and the places inside it is very limited, as, for example, in this lamp of the cabin:

And if there is plenty of space in the lamp of the cabin, then the choice of choice appears: put small LED lamps more or less standard sizeAs shown above, or put larger, slightly unusual LED lamps like such:

having high brightness and giving a magnificent effect of bright, scattered light.

Brightness and color of the lamp

In addition to the external form and the size of the LED lamp, it is necessary to take into account its purpose, that is, wherever the LED lamp will be installed and that it should light.

The lamps of the "nasturn" light are designed to read in the cabin, for example, roadmap. So, the light in them should be enough to read, but at the same time, the light should not be excessive in order not to make her eyes. To read it is better to choose white or naturally white color of the glow. The optimal indicator of the light flux in this case is 100-150 lm.

The central lamp of the salon creates overall lighting inside the car. Logically put a LED lamp white color With the maximum indicator of the light flux so that dark corners remain in the cabin. But if you are not an amateur classic solutions, you can put colored LED lamps, for example or and make yourself in the salon blue, red, green or even pink light, which looks very unusual.

Light in cosmetic mirrors located in sunscreen visors should not be too bright, because while using a mirror lamp will shine directly into the eyes. Comfortable light stream in this case 25-70 lm. In this case, the lamps should be well covered face, which means the light should be pure white.

Illumination of the head zone, glove box and trunk should be so that no trifle is lost in the depths of the car. Here you can not bother and put on these, usually small lamps, the most bright LED lamps:

A bright light of such LED lamps will be especially useful when searching for a fallen phone or lipstick in a glove.

LED backlighting doors or thresholds Performs two important functions. First, illuminates the space in front of you when you leave the car, and secondly, indicates in the dark open doorBy making it more noticeable for other participants in the movement. In the lamps located in the door, you can install LED lamps of any color and brightness, your taste.

Ready lamp sets

As you can see, with the independent selection of LED lamps in the salon, it is necessary to take into account the many nuances. If you do not want to beat your head with indicators of the light flux, lamps and configurations of lamps, then stop your choice on one of the more than 100 we have ready-made sets of LED lamps made specifically for a specific car model.

The lamps in such a set exactly repeat the inner space of the lamps of the cabin and the trunk of this car, as much as possiblely poured with the light of the lights of the lamps, and also have light brightness regulators and a lifelong warranty! Select a set to illuminate the cabin of your car in the section.
