The difference between downlight and spotlight

From the point of view of light source, the spotlight beam is an acute angle beam, and the illumination is relatively concentrated, while the downlight beam is a wide angle, which will diverge a little. The light source of downlight is not adjustable. Domestic spotlights use quartz bulbs or beads, and the light source direction of spotlights can be adjusted freely.

2. The application place is different

From the application position, the position of the downlight is relatively fixed, generally in the ceiling, which requires a ceiling with a depth of 150 mm, and of course the downlight is also external. But relatively speaking, the installation position of spotlights is more flexible.

3. The halo effect is different.

Spotlight is mainly divided into point hanging type, track type and embedded type. Embedded spotlights can be installed in the ceiling. The performance tension of spotlights is better than that of downlights, the halo effect is more obvious and direct, and the decorative effect is very prominent.

4. Different security.

The safety of spotlights and downlights can also be seen from the use. For example, when using spotlights, it is necessary to avoid short-distance exposure to flammable materials, otherwise long-term use will easily lead to fire and other safety hazards. In this respect, the safety performance of downlight is much better than that of spotlight, and there are not many places to pay attention to, and it is also very convenient to use.
