When choosing home lighting products, LED downlights and LED panel lights are often unavoidable, but how should we choose? In this article, we will explain the advantages and disadvantages of both.
LED Downlights:
LED downlights can focus light better and make the illuminated objects more prominent. This is more suitable for display shelves, cabinets, artworks, study rooms, corridors, and other narrow spaces or for corners as main lighting. LED downlights are embedded in the ceiling, and the light of some downlights is rotatable, not fixed, which can create a warm atmosphere in the space.
However, the brightness and power of LED downlights are small, and it is difficult to use them as the main lighting to light up the entire large room in a large space. Therefore, when we are decorating a larger room or living room, we often choose some ceiling lamps or chandeliers as the main lighting, and downlights are only used as supplementary lighting in the corners. At the same time, the wall-washing effect of LED wall washer downlights is also a highlight of home decoration.
LED Panel lights:
LED panel lights have a flat and wide appearance, so they are more suitable for a large space and can provide a uniform lighting environment for a large space. Office lighting, meeting room lighting, and living room lighting are the strengths of LED panel lights, and LED panel lights will provide them with an overall uniform lighting effect.
Meanwhile, LED panel lights also have their disadvantages. It is precisely because of its uniform light beam that the entire lighting environment has no characteristics. At the same time, some corners in rooms are dark areas hard to be illuminated with LED panel lights with enough brightness. In this situation, we need to choose some downlights to supplement and embellish.
In addition, there are many other differences between led downlights and led panel lights:
Beam angle: The beam angle of LED panel lights is generally relatively large, while most downlights are lenses or reflectors with small angles, so the angles are much smaller than panel lights. The installation of downlights requires opening holes in the ceiling, while panel lights have requirements for the structure of the ceiling.
