Should you choose LED downlights or spotlights for home improvement ceilings? Have you considered?
After the decoration is completed, it is time to install the lamps. So, have you ever thought about whether to install LED downlights or LED spotlights on the ceiling of various parts of the home? Many friends may not know the difference between the two, or do not know how to choose.
Let's briefly talk about the difference between LED downlights and LED spotlights, and the scope of application. As far as the embedded downlight spotlights used in general home improvement are concerned.
1. Downlights. The characteristics of the downlight are: ordinary spotlight, soft and natural light, the illumination angle is usually not adjustable (a few parts are adjustable), it is widely used, and it usually undertakes the main lighting function.
2. Spotlights. The characteristics of spotlights are: highly concentrated light, more focused light, adjustable illumination angle, mostly used to emphasize a certain scene or a certain space, such as key lighting for TV background walls, paintings, etc., to play a decorative role in setting off the atmosphere .
According to the characteristics of downlights and spotlights, it is not difficult to see the difference between them in actual use: downlights are suitable for ambient lighting; spotlights are suitable for accent lighting. Knowing this, we can make accurate choices according to the use of the home and the style of decoration.
1. Living room
The living room is an important area for the overall lighting layout. Usually, 8-12 downlights or spotlights are used in the ceiling of the living room. The light of LED downlights is soft and uniform, which is suitable for long-term and large-scale lighting. As the main lighting, more lamps are used than spotlights. In order to increase the effect of the TV wall or highlight the decorative paintings, we need the help of spotlights to highlight the key points. The downlight above the TV is also very important, reducing the brightness difference between the TV screen and the back and relieving visual fatigue.
For LED downlights used in home improvement, embedded installation is generally recommended. Of course, if the living room does not have a ceiling, then you can consider using surface-mounted downlights (main lighting).
2. Dining room
The dining room is an environment for family members to eat together. The illumination requirements are high (about 350Lx), and the color rendering of the light is better, so as to show the color of the food and bring a good appetite to the family. Although a chandelier can meet the requirements, one or two spotlights are still required to ensure uniform illumination of the desktop and a moderate light field.
3. Corridor
The lighting requirements of the corridor usually meet the lighting standard. The ceiling can use LED downlights with uniform light distribution to ensure that the illuminance reaches at least 150lx.
4. Bedroom
Because the bedroom is a place to rest and sleep, the lighting emphasizes the comfort, softness and warmth of the light, and the illumination does not need to be too high. Therefore, it is more suitable to use LED downlights in the bedroom, and the illumination is 150Lx. But the requirement for LED downlights is that there must be no glare problem (dazzling eyes). Table lamps and wall lamps can be used for key areas such as bedside and other parts that need to be read and studied.
According to the difference in lighting usage and division of labor between LED downlights and LED spotlights, the reasonable deployment of lamps in different functional areas is not only conducive to creating a good family atmosphere, but also beneficial to human health in the long run.
