In the modern home lighting design, is no longer a light to light the whole house, will be paired with some local lighting. So downlights and spotlights fixtures have been very common, but there are still many people can not distinguish, they are similar in appearance is easy to be confused together, what is the difference between the two?
Downlight: A small fixture that emits light vertically downward with dimmable downlights and non-dimmable downlights.
Spotlights fixtures: Adjustable directional lamps and lanterns that focus light to a small area to serve as accent lighting.
There is no clear line between the two in terms of light, so how do you distinguish them?
Beam angle differentiation
Beam angle: It is the angle formed by the boundary line of a range of light all within a range with a boundary, which has a range of light, is the actual beam angle. From the physical point of view, it is the angle formed between a boundary with light and a boundary with no light at all.
Distinction in use: general lighting vs. accent lighting
Downlight: soft and comfortable light, generally used for general lighting or auxiliary lighting, can form a flood light in a certain space, evenly illuminate the entire space. dimmable downlights
Downlighting in commercial lighting and home lighting, mainly to provide uniform, comfortable and soft functional base lighting. When laying out the lights, you need to consider the spacing of the lamps, the illumination and uniformity of the ground, and the matching of the lamps themselves with the ceiling. It is more suitable for local medium-intensity lighting and auxiliary lighting, such as dining tables and bars.
Spotlights fixtures: Creating atmosphere lights, generally used for accent lighting or decorative lighting, mainly through a small angle light highlights the illuminated objects, such as TV walls, wall paintings, display cabinets, etc., can better express the object color and texture, enhance the sense of beauty, enhance the contrast between light and dark space.
Spotlights are often used for accent lighting, used to illuminate objects to be highlighted. For example, commodities, decorative paintings, crafts, etc., can hit a clean, clear spot, highlighting the object to enhance the effect. General spotlight volume is smaller than the downlight.
Light source direction distinction: non-adjustable vs adjustable
The direction of the light source of the downlight is generally not adjustable, can only be fixed in one direction, can evenly illuminate the entire space.
The light source direction of the spotlight fixtures is generally variable and can be adjusted freely according to demand, focusing on lighting, highlighting the local.
From the above various comparative effects, the summary can be seen.
Downlight lighting surface is large, and the beam angle is relatively large, can be formed in a certain range of floodlight. But because of the short height of light-emitting and cause serious flare. Used for general lighting or auxiliary lighting, can form a flood in a certain space, evenly illuminate the entire space.
Spotlight fixtures light source do in depth, the beam angle is smaller, the angle is flexible and adjustable, adapt to more multi-functional places to use, the secondary optical flexible control cut-off angle greater than 40 degrees, anti-glare effect is good. Can focus on the object being illuminated, can better express the object color and texture, enhance the sense of beauty, enhance the contrast between light and dark space.
