There are so many kinds of spotlights, how to choose

1. Look at the "shading angle"

      The shading angle of conventional luminaires is determined according to the elevation angle of normal human vision, and the range of normal attention of the human eye is 30° above to 60° below the head-up. Therefore, the shading angle of the lamp is greater than 30°, which can prevent the light from directly entering the human eyes. In an environment with high lighting quality requirements, the luminaire should have a shading angle of 30°-45°.

2. Optional lamp mode

   Spotlights can be divided into three types: concealed spotlights, surface-mounted spotlights, and track spotlights, respectively corresponding to the three installation methods of concealed installation, surface-mounted installation, and combined track. 

(1) Concealed spotlight

    The concealed spotlight means that the spotlight is evenly embedded in the ceiling, which can keep the ceiling fresh and delicate, and at the same time has no lack of lighting functions, so that there is no dead corner of the light source in the space. If you want to install concealed spotlights, you'd better start buying them at the ceiling stage or before, because they need to be embedded in the ceiling. Buy it early, and in the ceiling stage, let the master make holes according to the lights you bought. In addition, the ceiling of the concealed spotlight only needs to be 5-7cm thick, which is much thinner than the traditional 13cm thick ceiling, so the height of the lamp should be within 7cm.

(2) Surface mounted spotlights

    Surface mounted spotlight is a kind of lighting fixture that is ceiling-to-ceiling and light is downward. There are certain requirements for the appearance, not only to choose the light, but also to consider the appearance of the lamp itself, so as to "turn on the light for good light, and turn off the light to have a shape".

(3) Track spotlight

    Track spotlights need to be installed on special rails, and the position of the lights on the track and the direction of light projection can be adjusted according to actual needs. The track spotlight can be installed directly on the ceiling without a ceiling, and it can also be installed with a hanging wire, which is more decorative.

3. Select power

     The power of spotlights should be selected based on factors such as room area, height, and lighting requirements. Conventional households choose spotlights with a power of 3-10w. If it is a larger space, you can choose more powerful lamps.

4. Choose a brand 

    There are too many brands of lights, so you must first buy samples when choosing a spotlight, and then make a decision after personal experience. Although spotlights do not require high quality, they still try to choose brands to buy.
