How Do I Choose A Good LED Retrofit Downlight?

• Type Of Retrofit Downlight

1) The round downlight appearance is cylindrical, the appearance is simple and generous. The appearance of the square downlight is square or rectangular, and the appearance is more stable.

2) The round downlights generally use a spotlight design, the light is concentrated in one point, direct lighting effect is better; The square downlights are generally designed with flat lights, emitting a uniform and soft light, and the indoor lighting effect is more comfortable.

3) Round downlights are suitable for occasions where local lighting effects need to be emphasized, while square downlights are suitable for occasions where uniform lighting effects are required.

1) The design of the anti-glare downlight mainly reduces the direct light of the human eye through the reflective surface, so as to achieve the effect of soft light. Therefore, when using smooth downlights, the light in the environment will appear softer and more uniform, and the visual effect will be more comfortable. The downlight that is not anti-glare, because there is no reflective surface or the reflective surface is not strong enough, may produce some local areas of excessive light, which will have a certain impact on the visual effect.

2) Baffle recessed lighting is more suitable for some users who need to look at the light source for a long time. Smooth recessed lighting is more suitable for some environments that require bright, uniform light.

3) Baffle Downlights need regular maintenance and cleaning to prevent dust and dirt from affecting the reflective effect. If you do not pay attention to maintenance and cleaning, it may affect the lighting effect and service life. Smooth Downlights are relatively easier to maintain and clean.
