There are many lamps used in the family, such as large crystal chandeliers in the living room, ceiling lamps in the bedroom, bedside lamps and wall lamps. Their function is not only lighting, but also decoration. Many people can't tell the difference between downlights and spotlights because they are not big in shape. What's the difference between downlight and spotlight? Here is a brief introduction to the characteristics of downlights and spotlights, so as to distinguish them:

What's the difference between a downlight and a spotlight?

Downlight: Downlight looks like a cylinder and is embedded in the ceiling, so it looks like an integral part of the ceiling and will not destroy the original architectural decoration, so it is called downlight. Downlight, a light source, is also commonly used in modern families, with high light and strong light. In addition to home decoration, it is also used in construction projects and large shopping malls.

Spotlight: The decoration of spotlights can adjust the atmosphere, and the colors are diverse and rich. If ordinary families want to decorate spotlights, they use hidden installation methods. The so-called concealed installation means that the power cord is buried in the wall and the lamps are decorated into a line in rows, which is called a light belt. Compared with downlights, spotlights are softer and suitable for local decoration, such as being installed on TV walls or corridors.

Characteristics of downlights and spotlights

1, spotlights and downlights belong to the same grade of lamps and accessories, but the price. In contrast, spotlights are more expensive, and the appearance styles of downlights and spotlights are also divided into large, medium and small models, which can be installed according to their own needs.

2. The similarity between spotlights and downlights is that they are both embedded lamps, and holes need to be made in the ceiling during installation, but the height of the embedded part of spotlights is much shorter than that of downlights, so the requirements for the ceiling are relatively low. Generally, the installation depth of suspended ceiling is 8cm.

3. Downlight is widely used. Today, major shopping malls will see the decoration of downlights. It can be said that the downlight is embedded in the surface of the wall. This kind of decoration will not destroy the original appearance of the wall, keep the original appearance of the building, and the light is relatively wide, which can fully illuminate. The installation position of the spotlight is on the wall, not embedded in the wall.
