For a comfortable and functional design of the ceiling, a variety of solutions are used. Each of them has both certain advantages and disadvantages. Suspended ceilings made of plasterboard are popular not only because of their simple installation.
A variety of projects with original built-in lighting plays an important role in such a high demand.
Is it possible to make two-level plasterboard ceilings on your own? Yes, this is a very real task.

Plasterboard ceiling with built-in lighting is a very popular design solution. It is a practical, functional and stylish way of finishing.
Here you can successfully combine various types of lamps, and by adjusting the color content and lighting power, it is easy to change the visual and spatial perception of the room.
The structure should have the following properties:
The durability and strength of the structure will be ensured by the use of a rigid metal profile and thin ceiling plasterboard. As a backlight, a bright LED strip of the desired color, or a combination of them, is great.
Why is it recommended to use thin drywall rather than thick sheets of almost a centimeter thick?
This was done for a reason : due to the lightweight material, the weight of the ceiling structure is very significantly reduced, as is the total load on the fasteners.
By and large, gypsum boards for a suspended ceiling do not need a large thickness and high strength, because its cladding is not exposed to significant mechanical stress. Slightly more than 0.
5 mm is the most suitable thickness of this material for a ceiling structure.
Metal profile has similar advantages.
Such structures with a low weight have excellent strength when compared to a wooden slatted grille.
Why is LED lighting good? Why do consumers prefer non-halogen bulbs, and this particular type of spotlight? Indeed, quite recently, there was no worthy alternative to halogen products.
The advantages of LEDs are obvious :
In other words, the possibility of its overheating, which could cause a fire in the structure, is completely excluded;
There are universal and monochrome LED strips. The latter emit only one color - white, blue, red or green. Unique ones can change their shade.
Lighting control is carried out from the remote control : the command can change not only the shade, but also the intensity of the glow.
The lighting for such a structure can be done in one of two ways - hidden or open.
The latter is quite simple to install. A hole is made in the false ceiling according to the required dimensions, a lamp is placed in it. When using this method, the luminaire should not weigh more than ten kilograms.
The fact is that the cladding and frame of the ceiling structure does not have a high bearing capacity.
If hidden lighting is selected as the design, then the lighting fixtures are located between the layers of drywall, in a niche made for this.
With such a device, the beam of light is directed not downward, but towards the ceiling itself. Reflecting from its surface, it creates a magnificent effect.
This hidden lighting is especially beneficial when the ceiling has a glossy surface.
Let's consider in detail and step by step how to build such a structure with your own hands. The previously noted LED lamp will be used as a lamp.
We need:
The very first, initial stage in the construction of a multi-level ceiling is the construction of the upper frame level.
Let's analyze the activities step by step:
The fasteners are spaced 40 centimeters from each other.
We finish the finished frame with sheets of thin drywall, fixing them with self-tapping screws. The upper, basic level of the structure can be considered ready.
Now it's time to construct a niche in which our hidden lighting will be hidden.
The order of work will be as follows:
For cladding frame, we need narrow pieces of drywall.
Their fixation should take place in the following order:
The distance between the top edge and the structure of the first level must be at least five centimeters.
All work is performed in strict compliance with the following rules:
The backlight is connected according to the following scheme:
If the LED strip has a sufficiently long length, then its glow in different sections with a serial connection may differ slightly.
That is why it is much more correct and safer to connect sections longer than five meters in parallel, using wires with one and a half millimeter section.
But in such cases, you will have to use a higher power supply unit.
Finishing the ceiling will be the final stage of work. All existing joints between individual sheets of cladding material must be filled. When they dry well, the ceiling is treated with a primer.
Such a ceiling structure can be wallpapered, painted or finished with decorative plaster.
