The difference between shooting lights

Many people can't easily distinguish between downlights and spotlights. In home decoration, downlights and spotlights have different uses. Simply put, downlights are lamps that are more concentrated than ordinary surface-mounted lamps, and are generally used for ordinary lighting or auxiliary lighting. Spotlight is a highly concentrated lamp, and its light irradiation can specify a specific target. It is mainly used for special lighting, such as emphasizing a place that is very tasty or innovative. We distinguish the characteristics of the two lamps from the light source, application position and price comparison.

1. light source

downlights can be equipped with incandescent bulbs or energy-saving lamps. It is yellow when incandescent lamps are installed. When installing energy-saving lamps, the bulb type can be white or yellow. The direction of the light source of the ceiling downlight cannot be adjusted. From the picture below, we can directly see the energy-saving lamp tube of the downlight, and the waterproof downlight is to add a waterproof glass cover outside.

2. Application location

Downlights are generally installed in the ceiling, and generally the ceiling needs to be more than 15mm to install. Of course, downlights also have external types. It is a good choice to install downlights in areas without ceiling lights or chandeliers, and the light is softer than that of spotlights.

spotlights can generally be divided into rail type, point hanging type and embedded type. Spotlights are generally equipped with transformers, but some are without transformers. Embedded spotlights can be installed in the ceiling. Spotlight is mainly used in places that need to be emphasized or expressed. Such as TV walls, hanging pictures, ornaments, etc., can be played with rhyme to enhance the effect.

3. Price

Generally speaking, the domestic brands of downlight spotlights with better quality are Opal, Sanli, NVC and Sanxiong Aurora. Among them, NVC and Sanli have the best cost performance.

downlights generally have three types: large (5 inches), medium (4 inches) and small (2.5 inches). The market price of small size is between 15-2 yuan, medium size is between 28-32 yuan, and large size is between 36-48 yuan. Of course, the above prices do not include light sources. There are two kinds of downlights: horizontal plug and vertical plug, and the price of horizontal plug is a little more expensive than vertical plug.
