Product Comparison Of LED Tube Lights
Jul 20, 2024
Many people confuse tube lights and spotlights, not knowing the differences between these two types of lighting fixtures, where they should be applied in the home, and what the effects of their application are.
Simply put, a tube lamp is a type of lighting fixture that has more focusing power compared to ordinary surface mounted fixtures, usually used for general lighting or auxiliary lighting.
Spotlight is a type of highly concentrated lighting fixture, whose light is directed towards a specific target that can be specified. Mainly used for special lighting, such as emphasizing a place that is very flavorful or innovative.
We distinguish between tube lights and spotlights from these aspects.
1. From the light source, tube lamps can be equipped with incandescent bulbs or energy-saving lamps. When installing incandescent lamps, the light is yellow. When installing energy-saving lamps, the bulb type can be white light or yellow light. The direction of the light source of the ceiling tube lamp cannot be adjusted. Generally, household spotlights use quartz bulbs or beads. Of course, large spotlights may not necessarily use quartz bulbs. Quartz light bulbs only have yellow light. Moreover, the direction of the light source for typical spotlights can be freely adjusted.
2. From the application location, tube lights are generally installed inside the ceiling, and the ceiling needs to be at least 150mm to be installed. Of course, there are also external types of tube lights. Installing tube lights in areas without ceiling lights or pendant lights is a good choice, as the light is softer compared to spotlights. Spotlights can generally be divided into various types such as track mounted, point mounted, and embedded. Spotlights usually come with transformers, but there are also those that do not. Embedded spotlights can be installed inside the ceiling. Spotlight is mainly used for places that require emphasis or expression, such as TV walls, hanging paintings, jewelry, etc., to create a light effect and enhance the effect.
3. In terms of price, spotlights are more expensive in the same category. Generally speaking, the high-quality spotlights in China include OPPO, Sanli, Leishi, and Sanxiong Aurora. Among them, Leishi and Sanli have the best cost-effectiveness.
There are generally three types of tube lights: large (5 inches), medium (4 inches), and small (2.5 inches). The market price for small sizes in 2012 was between 20-15 yuan, 28-32 yuan for medium sizes, and 36-48 yuan for large sizes. Of course, the above prices are for tube lamp shells. There are two types of tube lights: horizontal insertion and vertical insertion, with horizontal insertion being slightly more expensive than vertical insertion.
It should be noted that spotlights should generally not be used for close range illumination of woolen fabrics, nor should there be flammable obstacles at close range, otherwise it may easily cause fires. Although spotlights consume a lot of power, their decorative effect varies greatly when placed in appropriate positions. The decoration of spotlights and colorful lamp cups has a unique flavor.
