What's the difference between spotlights and ambient light?

Main lighting is very popular now. The most common products include spotlights and ambient lights. In fact, the lighting effects of the two are very different, but some people have been confused, which leads to the owners' dissatisfaction with the final effect.

1. What is ambient light?

Ambient light, to put it bluntly, is a kind of lamp that is added to the ceiling and emits downward light. It has an obvious feature that it can keep the appearance uniformity of architectural decoration well, and will not destroy the original structure and appearance of the ceiling because of the setting of ambient light.

Ambient light takes up a small space, and the light source can effectively improve the mild atmosphere of the space and has strong ability to create an atmosphere, and is often composed of suspended ceilings.

2. What is a spotlight?

? Spotlight is a kind of lighting equipment, which can be installed around the ceiling, furniture, walls and skirting lines. The main function of spotlights is to highlight the beauty, improve the texture, and also have a very good role in promoting the atmosphere. If it is composed of good spotlights, it can bring a main lighting effect and can also be used as a supplement to some light sources.

3. The difference between spotlight and downlight

1. Installation location

From the installation position, most of the ambient lights are installed in the ceiling, as long as the ceiling is above 150mm, they can be installed. Some ambient light is external. If the ambient light is installed in an area without headlights, the light source will be much milder than the spotlight. Spotlight can be divided into many styles, such as track type, point wall type and embedded type. Spotlight is mainly used in places that must be paid attention to, which can effectively improve the effect.

2. Direction of light source

The light source of ambient light is not adjustable. Domestic spotlights all use quartz bulbs or beads, so the light source direction of spotlights can be adjusted at will.

3. Security

Ambient lights are more convenient to install and less expensive than spotlights. In home decoration, the total area occupied by ambient light is very small, which is very durable and suitable for most families, but its defect is that it can not be disassembled, which will be very inconvenient. Spotlight is more concentrated than ambient light, which is more likely to cause security risks. Therefore, when you buy spotlights, you must choose those with high safety factor, and you can't buy fake lamps too much, which will bring security risks to our lives.
