Beginning with the invention of the lamp in the 1980s, lighting has been a necessity for every family. There are so many kinds of lights on the market that people will inevitably be dazzled. This article mainly introduces a recessed downlight commonly used in the home.
What is Recessed?
“Recessed”, as the name implies, is to secure something in a gap in a place through a certain craft or technique. Take the gems on the ring, for example, the gems are firmly set on the ring of the ring so that they will not fall off easily.
LED Recessed Downlight Definition
“Downlight” is understood in the literal sense: the hole of the lamp is round, and the lamp is cylindrical, just like a pot or jar, with a screw base, which can be directly mounted on an incandescent lamp or an energy-saving lamp; A lighting fixture that is embedded in the ceiling and emits light. It can be installed directly on the ceiling, wall, or other surfaces. The embedded device is composed of three main components, the shell, the decorative part, and the bulb. The shell is the main body of the luminaire, hidden in the wall or ceiling, and contains the electrical connection of the luminaire. The decoration is the decorative visible part of a luminaire, which may include baffles, reflectors, or hoods. The last component is the bulb, which is the main part of the lamp that generates light. This kind of concealed lamp is embedded in the ceiling, all light is projected downwards, which belongs to direct light distribution.
LED Recessed Downlight Type
1. According to the installation method: Ceiling downlight and Hole-mounted downlight, the former does not need to be punched, and is directly embedded in the gap of the ceiling; the latter requires the corresponding diameter size to be driven into the wall or ceiling hole.
2. According to the arrangement of the lamp tubes: Vertical downlights and Horizontal downlights. Vertical downlights mean that the lamp body is vertical, which is generally used in commercial halls and is more gorgeous. Horizontal downlights have strip tubes that are most frequently used in our home lighting.
3. Divided by place: Home downlights and Engineering downlights, downlights generally do not occupy space and can increase the soft atmosphere of the space. If you want to create a warm feeling at home, you can try to install multiple downlights to reduce the space oppression.
4. Divided by the number of light sources: Single light source downlights and Double light source downlights. Single downlights are equipped with an electric light source (that is, a bulb is installed on a downlight); double downlights are Install two electric light sources on one lamp (that is, install two bulbs on one downlight).
5. According to the fire-rated status of the light source: Ordinary downlights and Fire-rated downlights, some downlights have also added fire-rated function to be more suitable for use in the kitchen. Fire-rated downlights are attached with a special material called expansion strips. In the event of a fire, the high temperature will cause a chemical reaction in the strip, causing it to expand and plug the hole, thereby preventing the fire from spreading.
It is recommended that all downlights installed above the ceiling and above the living room must have a fire rating, and the minimum fire rating is 30 minutes, preferably 60 minutes. In other cases, it is entirely up to you, but we always recommend using fire-rated downlights when there is living space on it.
