In home lighting, downlights and spotlights are very similar in appearance, shape and use, so that people now call downlights, spotlights and ceiling lamps "downlights", but there are still some subtle differences between them. Here are some simple introductions for everyone, so that they can choose suitable lamps in future home decoration. To put it simply, downlight is a kind of lamp with more light concentration than ordinary surface mounted lamps, which is generally used for ordinary lighting or auxiliary lighting.

spotlight is a highly concentrated lamp, and its light irradiation can specify a specific target. It is mainly used for special lighting, such as emphasizing a place that is very tasty or innovative.

We distinguish downlights from spotlights from three aspects.

from the light source, the downlight can be equipped with incandescent bulbs or energy-saving lamps. It is yellow when incandescent lamps are installed. When installing energy-saving lamps, the type of bulbs can be white or yellow. The direction of the light source of the ceiling downlight cannot be adjusted.

Generally, quartz bulbs or beads are used for household spotlights. Of course, large spotlights don't necessarily use quartz bulbs. Quartz bulbs only have yellow light.

and the light source direction of general spotlights can be adjusted freely.

from the application position, downlights are generally installed in the ceiling, and the ceiling needs to be more than 151mm to install. Of course, downlights also have external types. It is a good choice to install downlights in areas without ceiling lights or chandeliers, and the light is softer than that of spotlights.

spotlights can generally be divided into rail type, point hanging type and embedded type. Spotlights are generally equipped with transformers, but some are without transformers. Embedded spotlights can be installed in the ceiling. Spotlight is mainly used in places that need to be emphasized or expressed, such as TV walls, hanging pictures, ornaments, etc., which can play a rhyme to enhance the effect.

From the price point of view, there is not much difference between the two. In the market, the price of 3W is generally around 21 yuan, and that of Taobao is only around 11 yuan. However, the price of ultra-thin downlight that came out in the past year is a little more expensive, which is generally twice that of the original downlight, but its light source is more durable than the original, and its volume is also developing in the direction of ultra-thin.

the LED downlight is a product developed on the basis of the traditional downlight by applying the new led lighting source in Zhongshan Haomei Lighting. Compared with the traditional downlight, it has the following advantages: energy saving, low carbon, long life, good color rendering and fast response. The design of LED downlight is more beautiful and light. When it is installed, it can maintain the overall unity and perfection of architectural decoration, without destroying the setting of lamps. The light source is hidden inside the architectural decoration, and the light source is not exposed and glare-free. The visual effect of people is soft and uniform. If you still don't understand this, ask professionals in large-scale home building materials stores like Jianpeilong and compare them with real objects.
