Main Differences Of LED Spotlights

Many people find it difficult to distinguish between downlights and spotlights. In home decoration, downlights and spotlights have different uses. Simply put, downlights are lamps that are more focused than ordinary surface-mounted lamps, and are generally used for general lighting or auxiliary lighting. Spotlights are highly focused lamps, and their light irradiation can be specified to a specific target. They are mainly used for special lighting, such as emphasizing a very tasteful or innovative place. We distinguish the characteristics of the two lamps from the light source, the application location, and the price comparison.
1. Light source
Downlights can be equipped with incandescent bulbs or energy-saving lamps. When incandescent lamps are installed, they are yellow light, and when energy-saving lamps are installed, they can be white light or yellow light depending on the type of bulb. The light source direction of ceiling downlights cannot be adjusted. We can directly see the energy-saving lamp tube of the downlight, and the waterproof downlight is to add a waterproof glass cover on the outside.
General household spotlights use quartz bulbs or lamp beads. Of course, large spotlights do not necessarily use quartz bulbs. Quartz bulbs only have yellow light. And the light source direction of general spotlights can be adjusted freely.
2. Application location
Downlights are generally installed in the ceiling, and the ceiling must be above 150mm before they can be installed. Of course, there are also external downlights. Installing downlights in areas without ceiling lights or chandeliers is a good choice, and the light is softer than spotlights.
Spotlights can generally be divided into track type, point hanging type and embedded type. Spotlights generally come with transformers, but there are also those without transformers. Embedded spotlights can be installed in the ceiling. Spotlights are mainly used for areas that need to be emphasized or expressed. Such as TV walls, hanging paintings, decorations, etc., can play light rhythm to enhance the effect.
3. Price
Downlights generally have three types: large (5 inches), medium (4 inches), and small (2.5 inches). The market price of small size is between 15-20 yuan, medium size is between 28-32 yuan, and large size is between 36-48 yuan. Of course, the above prices do not include light sources. Downlights are available in two types: horizontal and vertical. The price of horizontal plug-in is slightly more expensive than that of vertical plug-in.
It should be noted that spotlights are generally not used to illuminate woolen fabrics at close range, and there should be no flammable obstacles at close range, otherwise it is easy to cause a fire. Although spotlights consume a lot of power, they can have a very different decorative effect in the right place. Spotlights also have colorful lamp cups for a unique decoration.
