The differences and uses of downlights and spotlights

Downlights and spotlights are common lighting equipment, and their designs and uses are slightly different.

1. **Downlight**: Downlights are usually designed to be recessed, that is, installed inside the ceiling, with only the lampshade exposed. The light of downlights is dispersed and can evenly illuminate a larger area, so it is often used as basic lighting or background lighting. Downlights are commonly used in homes, offices, shopping malls, hotels and other places.

2. **Spotlight**: Spotlight, sometimes called spotlight, can produce a concentrated beam of light, mainly used to illuminate a specific area or highlight a specific object, such as art products or displays. Therefore, spotlights are often used for accent lighting or decorative lighting. Additionally, spotlights are often designed to be angled so that they can precisely illuminate a target area.

When designing a lighting layout, it is common to use a combination of downlights and spotlights to achieve both uniform basic lighting and accent lighting that can highlight specific areas or objects.
