It is difficult for many people to distinguish between downlights and spotlights. In home decoration, downlights and spotlights have different uses. To put it simply, downlights are more concentrating lamps than ordinary surface-mounted lamps. It is used for general lighting or auxiliary lighting. Spotlight is a highly concentrating luminaire, and its light irradiation has specific targets that can be specified. It is mainly used for special lighting, such as emphasizing a place that is very flavorful or innovative. We distinguish the characteristics of the two types of lamps from the light source, application location, and price comparison.
1, light source

The bubble type can be white light or yellow light. The direction of the light source of the ceiling downlight cannot be adjusted. From the picture below, we can directly see the energy-saving tube of the downlight, and the waterproof downlight has a waterproof glass cover on the outside.
General household spotlights use quartz bulbs or lamp beads. Of course, large-scale spotlights do not necessarily use quartz bulbs. The quartz bulb has only yellow light. Moreover, the direction of the light source of the general spotlight can be adjusted freely.
2, application location
Downlights are generally installed in the ceiling, and generally the ceiling needs to be above 150mm before it can be installed. Of course, the downlight also has an external type. It is a good choice to install downlights in areas without ceiling lights or pendant lights, and the light should be softer than spotlights.
Spotlights can generally be divided into track type, point hanging type and built-in type. Spotlights generally have transformers, but some do not. Built-in spotlights can be installed in the ceiling. Spotlights are mainly used for places that require emphasis or performance. Such as TV walls, hanging pictures, accessories, etc., can be played to enhance the effect.
