In home decoration, we often get confused when installing lights, want to install a set of matching and their favorite lighting fixtures, it is difficult, on the one hand, because there are many kinds of lamps, such as ceiling lamps, chandeliers, downlights, spotlights, lamp belts, desk lamps, etc., on the other hand, because the lighting industry itself belongs to the high visibility, low attention industry, users are familiar with this but do not understand, In addition, the industry does develop very fast, lighting lamps and lanterns do have certain purchase skills, confusion is also very normal. Good light multi lighting provides you with some selection tips.
In home decoration, downlights and spotlights are used the most, on the one hand, because the home needs downlights, spotlights these auxiliary lighting lamps, on the other hand, the downlights are not restricted by the decoration style. Basically every decoration style is suitable for downlights and spotlights, all kinds of styles, so that downlights and spotlights are used most. Not only that, downlight spotlights are also very much used in commercial places, shopping malls, shops, office buildings, hotels, restaurants, etc. However, in the purchase, many owners do not know the same and the difference between the two, so here to share the similarities and differences between LED downlights and LED spotlights and purchase guidance.
Why choose LED downlights and LED spotlights? Because LED has many advantages, energy saving, environmental protection, no infrared ultraviolet, pure light color, intelligent dimming color, etc., specifically, more than 90% energy saving than incandescent lamps, more than 50% energy saving than previously used fluorescent lamps, and a long life, theoretical life of up to 50,000 hours, basically a lifetime without changing the lamp. Therefore, these advantages have LED to LED becoming the mainstream, incandescent lamps, fluorescent energy-saving lamps are being replaced one after another.
Downlights and spot lights, the structure is very similar, are composed of surface rings, lamp body, radiator, light source, power supply, etc. The installation method is also mostly embedded installation, that is, embedded in the ceiling, only the appearance of the ring, so as not to destroy the integrity of the ceiling, the room is also very clean.
The biggest difference between downlights and spotlights is the difference in the Angle of light, resulting in a difference in structure.
Downlight: mainly used to provide uniform light, just like the sun, everything shines! But the downlight can not be as big as the sun, so it is designed from the luminous Angle, the luminous Angle of the downlight is generally large, usually around 120 degrees, the common use is acrylic mask, so that you can get uniform light, the light is soft and not dazzling.
Spotlights: mainly through small Angle strong light to highlight key objects such as TV background walls, murals, ornaments, goods, etc., or increase the contrast of light and shade in space to create an atmosphere, like the flagship store of big-name clothing, the contrast of light and shade is very strong. In order to achieve this effect, the light Angle of the spotlight is generally small, usually 15-60 degrees, so that even if it and similar downlights have the same power, the total amount of light is the same, but the irradiation area is small, and the brightness is therefore very high. Structurally,
spotlights often use lenses or reflective bowls to achieve a small Angle of light concentration, and can usually adjust the irradiation Angle, so that when installed, you can adjust the irradiation object as needed.
