Both spotlights and downlights are used for commercial and residential purposes to accentuate key components within interior spaces. Installment of these light fixtures depend on the lighting application and it is useful to know the key features of each fixture as it can play a huge role in illuminating your retail store, creating the right ambiance for your business or home and even setting the tone for the day by elevating your mood with the right lighting.
Spotlight is adjustable and it is used to highlight a desired item with its narrow and intense beam of light. Spotlights are ideal for illuminating key areas of a room and can be very flexible making it a perfect lighting solution for showcasing key objects or products. A track lighting system can also be used for commercial purposes when multiple spotlights are needed within a space. LED Spotlights are excellent energy-saving replacements for halogen spots with savings up to 90 %. Different versions are available including an adjustable version, IP44 and IP65 variants, a dimmable version and an advanced flexible version with an external driver making it an easy and quick installation.
Recommended applications for spotlights include hotel rooms and bathrooms, bars and restaurants, residential interiors, galleries, and museums.
Downlight is a luminaire used to illuminate a larger area with its wide beam of light. It is better suited for basic lighting or auxiliary lighting and is typically mounted or recessed into the ceiling to provide general lighting within a specific space making it a little less adjustable compared to spotlights. LED Downlights are highly efficient replacements for compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) downlights and can provide energy savings up to 60 % compared the conventional solutions. Slim versions are also available for low installation depths and can also be installed quickly and easily with their advanced flexibility due to an included external driver.
Recommended application for downlights includes public rooms and areas, stairways, corridors, foyers and shops.
