How to use LED downlights and LED spotlights
LED uses a cold light source, with little glare, no radiation, no harmful substances in use, and a long brightness decay cycle, so its service life can reach 60,000 to 100,000 hours, and it can save more than 80% of energy compared to traditional light sources under the same lighting effect. In addition, LED lights have better environmental benefits and are typical green lighting sources.
With the enhancement of people's awareness of environmental protection, LED lights are more and more recognized and used by people. Among them, downlights are one of the most widely used LED lighting products in the lighting industry, mainly used in indoor lighting, specifically home decoration lighting, office lighting and commercial lighting.
Spotlights can play a leading role in the overall lighting due to their soft light, and can also be used for local lighting to enhance the atmosphere. Now they are also the darling of lighting design.
So how to use these two lamps? Let's take a look.
Ambient lighting downlights are king
①Residential area
Due to its space limitations, residential areas are generally relatively low, so when choosing downlights, the downlights with small size and low power are generally given priority, because such small and low-power lamps are more suitable for installation in smaller spaces. , In a private space with a low ceiling, it is neat and beautiful, and it is easier to shape the atmosphere of the space.
For household downlights, embedded installation is generally recommended, because surface-mounted lamps will make the originally small space appear cluttered and oppressive, causing damage to the beauty of the space.
②Public places
Downlights used in public places are divided into two types: wide light distribution angle and narrow light distribution angle according to their optical characteristics. The intuitive performance is the light-emitting surface, which provides basic lighting for the space.
Downlight with wide light distribution angle:
This type of downlight is more suitable to be installed in densely populated places such as corridors and passages. Because of its large light-emitting surface, it will not cause shadows, which is more conducive to the improvement of space brightness.
Downlight with narrow light distribution angle:
This type of downlight is also used to provide the basic lighting of the space, but its light-emitting surface is narrow, and it will form a circular light spot on the irradiation surface, which is suitable for the basic lighting of some shopping malls.
Accent lighting spotlights dominate
Spotlights for accent lighting are already an industry consensus. Different installation methods need to be adjusted for accent lighting in different occasions to achieve the ideal presentation effect. Here are four different installation methods for spotlights:
①Ordinary type:
A very conventional installation method of spotlights is to install lamps diagonally above the illuminated object, and adjust the appropriate illumination angle to provide accent lighting for the displayed items below.
②Side mount type:
Embedded on the ceiling or side-mounted on the façade, it can illuminate certain decorative objects to form light and shadow effects. Due to the particularity of its installation location, it is necessary to choose a larger adjustable spotlight.
③Slanted type:
Not all ceilings are neat and square. In reality, many buildings have been designed with creative slanted ceilings. For such sloping ceilings, due to the particularity of their installation location, it is usually necessary to choose Some grille products or spotlights with a larger adjustable angle specially designed for special ceilings, at the same time, because of the large adjustment angle, it is more necessary to do a good job of anti-glare spotlights.
④Wash the wall:
Wall washing is also a very practical functional use of spotlights, and is often used in higher shopping malls and office lobbies. As a wall washer, special attention should be paid to adjusting the distance between the lamp and the wall, between the lamp and the lamp during installation to achieve the best light-emitting effect.
