Many people are not easy to distinguish between the tube and the spotlight, in the home decoration, downlights and spotlights have different uses, simply put, downlights are a kind of lamps with more concentrated light relative to ordinary light fixtures, generally used for ordinary lighting or auxiliary lighting. A spotlight is a highly concentrated luminaire whose light exposure has a specific target that can be specified. It is mainly used for special lighting, such as emphasizing a place that has a great taste or is very innovative. We distinguish the characteristics of the two lamps from the light source, the application position, and the price comparison.
1. Light Source
Downlights can be equipped with incandescent bulbs or energy-saving lamps. Incandescent lamps are yellow. Install energy-saving light time light
The bubble type can be white or yellow. The direction of the light source can not be adjusted. From the figure below, we can directly see the energy-saving lamp tube of the downlight, and the waterproof downlight is added a waterproof glass cover on the outside.
Common household spotlights use quartz bulbs, or lamp beads. Of course, large spotlights are not necessarily quartz bulbs. Quartz bulbs only have yellow light. And the general light source direction can be freely adjusted.
2. Application location
Downlights are generally installed in the ceiling, and the general ceiling needs to be above 150mm to be installed. Of course, there are also external downlights. It is a good choice to install downlights in areas without overhead lights or chandeliers, and the light should be soft compared to spotlights.
Spotlights can generally be divided into rail type, point hanging type and embedded type. Spotlights usually have transformers, but there are also those without transformers. Built-in spotlights can be installed in the ceiling. Spotlights are mainly used where emphasis or expression is needed. Such as TV wall, hanging pictures, ornaments, etc., you can play light rhyme to enhance the effect.
3. Price
Generally speaking, the domestic better quality downlight spotlights brands are Opu, Raishi, Sanxiong Aurora, Cord bright lighting. Among them, Corde bright lighting is the best cost-effective, and the most abundant style, which can meet the needs of different design styles.
Downlights generally come in three sizes: large (5 inches), medium (4 inches) and small (2.5 inches).The current market price of the small is between 15-20 yuan, the medium is between 28-32 yuan, and the large is between 36-48 yuan. Of course, the above price does not include the light source. There are two kinds of downlights: horizontal and vertical, and the horizontal price is slightly more expensive than the vertical price.
It should be noted that spotlights generally cannot be used to illuminate wool fabrics at close range, nor can there be flammable obstacles at close range, otherwise it is easy to cause fire. Although the spotlight consumes more power, it makes a big difference in the proper position. Spotlights and five-colored lamp cups are decorated with special flavor.
