Spotlights and downlights are almost the same, which one is cheaper to buy which? Professionals tell you: This is not a blind choice! The two are very different.
Every time you see a lonely main light on the roof, it feels very monotonous, it is better to install a few downlights or spotlights to have an atmosphere, but which one should be installed?
What are spotlights and downlights?
Spotlights
The most obvious feature of the spotlight is that the light and shadow emitted by it are in the shape of small hills, and along the position of the wall, small hills are displayed, which is indeed very atmospheric!
And the light and shadow area illuminated by the spotlight is large and the brightness is high, so many families who want to do the design of no main lamp will choose a few spotlights.
For example, this kind of spotlight will be used in clothing stores to light the clothes, so that the color and saturation of the clothes can be well displayed!
Downlight
The downlight is actually very easy to understand, that is, its shape is very similar to a cylindrical cylinder, so the light that comes out is also round. This kind of downlight is generally divided into open and concealed, one is directly exposed, for the surface, and the other is hidden in the ceiling, only the head is exposed, as if integrated with the ceiling!
In fact, the light emitted by the downlight is not very bright, so the design without the main lamp cannot be supported by the downlight, which will make the entire decoration design fail~
The role of downlights is generally a decorative one. It can create a good atmosphere, plus different colors of light to play out, the sense of romantic atmosphere is very strong!
Although the two are not the main lights, they also have essential differences:
The light source is different:
The biggest difference between the two is the light source! The spotlight uses a COB point light source, and the obvious feature is that the light is relatively concentrated, so the brightness is higher and it is in the shape of a small hill.
The downlight adopts a flat light source, which is obviously characterized by a scattered and uniform light source, and the brightness is not very high.
Different installation areas:
Although they are all installed on the roof, they are suitable for different areas. For example, downlights are not suitable for the main lighting tool, so they are generally selected to play an auxiliary role in aisles, balconies and entrances.
Spotlights are generally installed on the background wall of the living room, bedside lamps in the bedroom and other areas, which can both illuminate and decorate.
The light adjustment is different:
Like downlights, they can't be adjusted back and forth, basically they are fixed in one position;
The spotlight has a track, which can be used to adjust the direction of the light, which can basically be adjusted from multiple angles and is more flexible, which is one of the reasons why clothing stores are willing to use it.
The prices are different:
At present, the price of spotlights is higher than that of downlights at the same level.
So, in general, downlights and spotlights focus on different directions, depending on what your specific needs are!
