Downlight

The downlight is a type of lighting fixture that is embedded in the ceiling and is light-emitting.

Second, the introduction of spotlights

Spotlight

The so-called concealed is to bury the power cord in the wall, and the lamps are arranged in rows. Well, a line is formed, which is called a light strip. Compared with the light of the downlight, the light line is softer and suitable for local decoration. For example, it can be installed on a TV wall or an aisle.

Third, the difference between downlights and spotlights

1, light efficiency requirements

The inside of the downlight is an energy-saving lamp. The color is available in white and yellow. The diffused light source does not collect light and has a low temperature. It is an auxiliary type of light. Therefore, it is mainly based on illumination. It is not possible to adjust the angle of the light source. In the aisle, the bedroom circle and the living room circle.
