1. Definition of mirror tube and non-mirror tube Mirror tube refers to an illumination tube with a mirror mirror plated inside the tube cover, usually made of galvanized steel or aluminum sheet. The lampshade of the mirror tube is a key factor in its optical design, with the right material, thickness and reflectivity, so that the light is reflected by the mirror surface and plays a role in improving the brightness of the lamp.
Non-mirror tubes refer to lamp tubes without reflective film, and most of them use transparent or translucent tubes as the irradiation material, which is usually used in softer lighting scenes.
2. The difference between mirror tube and non-mirror tube 1Reflectivity: The inner cover of the mirror tube is covered with a metal reflective film, which can greatly improve the reflectivity and intensity of light, so it has stronger brightness; Non-mirror tube lampshades have low reflectivity and relatively weak brightness.
2.Visual effect: Because the reflection effect of the mirror tube makes the light more concentrated, it is suitable for direct lighting and brighter lighting scenes, such as restaurants, shopping malls, etc.; The visual experience of the non-mirror tube is relatively soft, so it is suitable for scenes that require soft lighting, such as bedrooms, study rooms, etc. 
3.Safety: Because of the reflective characteristics, the mirror tube is prone to glare and reflection effects, and special attention needs to be paid to the impact of glare on people's visual health; Non-mirrored tubes are visually safer due to their near-uniform illumination characteristics.
3. Applicable scenariosAccording to the above differences, more common applicable scenarios can be obtained:
1.Mirror tube: suitable for occasions that require strong light, direct irradiation and improve brightness, such as restaurants, shopping malls, etc. 2.Non-mirror tube: suitable for occasions that require soft and uniform lighting, such as bedrooms, living rooms, study rooms, etc.
Conclusion] Mirrored tubes and non-mirrored tubes are two different types of lighting fixtures, and their different optical properties make them more suitable for different scenes. When choosing lighting fixtures, it is necessary to make a reasonable choice according to the needs of the scene to achieve better lighting effects.
