Hello, dear friends, today I want to share with you those things about home lighting. Are you hesitating to choose a spotlight or a downlight? Don't worry, I'll unveil the mystery between them for you, so that you can understand the difference in seconds! Hurry up and like it and collect it for later use!
First, let's talk about the difference between downlights and spotlights. To put it simply, downlights are the basic lighting that makes the whole space bright; The spotlight is the key lighting, the light has a clear sense of hierarchy, and the lighting without the main light is preferred.
First, the light source. Downlight: It is generally a flat light source, and floodlight lamps are used as basic lighting, and the overall space will be bright. It is commonly used in living rooms, aisles, balconies, etc. The light source of the downlight is generally not adjustable at an angle, and the luminous light is uniform and the scattered area is larger. It is difficult for the light from the high floors to reach the ground (there is a dim feeling), and there is no small hill effect or no obvious effect on the wall washing wall.
Spotlight: It is a COB point light source, a concentrating lamp, a wall washer painting, focusing on lighting, highlighting decorations, and creating an atmosphere. Washing wall paintings, coffee tables, space lighting can be. The light source is generally adjustable at an angle, and the light is relatively focused and layered. The walls are washed, the arc of light is small, the hills are endless, and the beauty is breathtaking.
Surface-mounted spotlights: Surface-mounted spotlights can often be freely adjusted to illuminate the desired area, so that the light can be accurately projected into the desired area. It does not have a large-area lighting effect like the main light, it is more focused on local lighting or accent lighting. The beam angle of surface-mounted spotlights is generally between 24° and 45°, which is suitable for wall washing and accent lighting, and can highlight the light level and light contrast. It is suitable for lighting areas such as background walls, entrances, living rooms and paintings, which can enhance the artistic sense of the space. Due to their highly concentrated nature, spotlights can be used to emphasize certain specific items or decorations.
2. Beam angle.
Downlight: There is no such thing as a beam angle or a large beam angle.
Spotlight: beam angle °, etc. Differences and effects of different beam angles.
15°: Concentrated light in the center, spot-mounted lighting creates a sharp contrast between light and light, such as ornaments and objects.
24°: bright center, clear washing wall of small hills, washing wall, living room, bedroom, study.
36°: The center is soft, the wall washing wall is uniform, the large arc of the wall washes the wall, the living room, the bedroom, the study I like to play the arc of the big hill and choose 36°
60°: center fade, large lighting area, light arc is not obvious, basic lighting uniform fill light for aisles, kitchens, hygiene, etc.
3. Anti-glare PK
Downlight: The anti-glare effect of large beam angle is weak, and the anti-glare effect is usually improved by making deep holes to improve the overall space brightness (downlights need anti-glare and remember to give priority to deep holes).
Spotlight: The smaller the beam angle, the more concentrated the light, and the deep-hole anti-glare cup design is used to achieve a good anti-glare effect. (Due to the spotlight reminder, the use of shiny tiles during decoration will cause the light to reflect to the ceiling, the soft furniture will be weakened, and downlights will be used in open areas).
Fourth, the common 24°36° spotlight installation wall distance and spacing.
Wash the wall, the distance between the background wall and the wall is recommended to be 15-30cm
The installation distance between lamps and lanterns is recommended to be 24°60-90cm, preferably 75cm, 36°75-100cm, and preferably 85cm
When taking pictures, it is recommended to have a spacing of 30cm
Warmly remind everyone that the ceiling decoration is differentiated, and different adjustments can be made.
