Downlights and spotlights are two kinds of lamps that look more similar after installation, their common installation method is embedded in the ceiling, if there is no research or special pursuit in lighting design, then it is easy to confuse the concept of the two, and then after installation, only to find that the lighting effect is not what they expected. If you have a certain pursuit of lighting design, or plan to do no main lights, a wide range of downlights or spotlights, then this article about the introduction of spotlights and downlights, you can refer to it!
1. The difference between downlights and spotlights
1. The appearance is different
From the point of view of appearance, the spotlight will have a beam angle structure, so the whole body of the spotlight will be deeper, and it seems that you can see the beam angle and lamp beads, a bit like the lamp body of the flashlight used in the countryside before.
2. The irradiation angle is different
If you choose a spotlight, this kind of lamp can adjust the direction of illumination, and focus on a small area, to achieve the effect of accent lighting. And if you choose a downlight, it is a luminaire that emits light vertically downwards. So to put it bluntly, the spotlight can adjust the direction, but the downlight is fixed.
3. The wattage and color temperature are different
There is also a difference in wattage and color temperature between the two, if you choose a downlight, its color temperature is generally below 3000K, while the spotlight can reach about 4000K.
4. The light source is different
They are generally installed around the roof of the house, and basically do not install the position of the main light, but their light source is different!The spotlight uses a COB point light source, which is relatively concentrated and shines on the wall in the shape of a small hill, which can play the role of local lighting.
5. The installation area is different
Like downlights, they are generally installed in living rooms, corridors, balconies and other areas to play a role in light source assistanceThe spotlights are generally installed in different areas such as the bedside table in the bedroom, the sofa background wall in the living room, etc., which play the role of lighting decoration.
6. The color of the light is different
The light color of the spotlight is generally yellow, so it belongs to the warm light, which is generally used in the decoration style that young people generally like, and the light color of the downlight is generally white, so it will be a cold color, and it is generally used for lighting, no matter which decoration style can be matched.
From the perspective of home decoration, in fact, whether it is a downlight or a spotlight, it can be fully utilized, and two different light sources can also be combined.
The light of the downlight seems to be relatively simple, which can only illuminate one area and cannot play the role of key lighting, while the ceiling lamp or chandelier is generally used as the main lighting source in the home.
The surface of the spotlight is a layer of glass, and the irradiation effect of the spotlight is different, and it is more concentrated, which can directly hit a position, which can allow us to see better and scatter the light.
