You may not understand the difference between downlights and spotlights. You probably know it, but you don't know how to choose to buy it. In fact, it is very simple. Let's first understand what are downlights and spotlights with Xiaoke Lighting:
First, downlights and spotlights Generally, downlights emit light vertically downwards and only in a single direction. Spotlights can adjust the direction of light.
With the evolution of modern urban lighting needs, they also belong to point light sources (which uniformly emit light from a point image around the space), and have been given new definitions:
Irradiation angle
Most downlights are fixed or adjustable in the vertical direction, while spotlights are horizontal or vertical, or both angles can be adjusted at the same time.
Appearance
Downlights are mostly of a single geometry, and spotlights can be combined in a variety of geometries.
Second, the beam angle In Europe, the United States, and other developed countries, the appearance classification of downlights and spotlights is relatively minor, but the beam angle is more important. The light emitting angle is the angle between the 1/10 maximum light intensity of the lamp.
Generally speaking, the narrow beam angle is <20 °, the middle beam angle is 20 ° -40 °, and the wide beam angle is> 40 °. We can choose our corresponding beam angle lamps according to the size of the illuminated range.
Third, Lighting layout The size of the illumination range or the lighting position mentioned above also has a lot to do with the lighting layout of our home. Lighting layout has these applications:
After having a clear understanding of the entire lighting layout, then choose according to the style of the home, the size of the lamps, the shape, the beam angle, etc., I hope to help you buy the right lamp.
