  • Downlight Layout Guide
  1. The best distance between downlights and the wall is generally recommended to be 40-60 cm. However, it is also necessary to note that the distance of the corner should be greater than 50 cm to prevent the light spot from hitting the adjacent wall and affecting the appearance of the shoulder spot.
  2. The distance between the two downlights is recommended to be about 90-135 cm, which can be determined according to the width of the wall, generally half or one-third of the width of the wall. This layout allows the space to be lit more evenly, avoiding areas that are too bright or too dark.
  3. Take a 10x10 room as an example:
    4'' Recessed Downlights 6'' Recessed Downlights
    The distance between the recessed lights 2.95-4.5 inch 2.95-4.5 inch
    The distance from the wall to the fixture 1.3-1.97 inch 1.3-1.97 inch

Our Ultra Thin Recessed Light Fixtures Advantage

  • Texture

Aluminum:

  1. LED lamps because they generate heat when they glow. The aluminum housing helps to effectively dissipate heat and reduce the operating temperature of the LED chip, thus extending the service life of the fixtures.
  2. Aluminum has high corrosion resistance and can resist moisture, oxidation and chemical corrosion.
  3. Aluminum is a renewable material that is easy to recycle and reuse. The use of aluminum as the lamp body material helps to reduce resource waste and environmental impact, in line with the principle of sustainable development.

PMMA/Acrylic :

  1. PMMA has excellent transparency, can effectively transfer light, produce a clear and bright beam effect, and improve the brightness and visibility of the lamp.
  2. It can maintain its transparency and color for a long time and is not easily affected by environmental factors such as ultraviolet light, high temperature, humidity, etc., thus extending the service life of the lampshade.
  3. PMMA material also has good wear resistance and impact resistance, which can effectively resist the scratching and collision of external objects, protect the lampshade from damage, and ensure the normal irradiation of the light.
  4. Acrylic has excellent optical properties and can produce high-quality, uniform light-casting effects.
  5. PMMA is relatively easy to recycle and environmentally friendly, helping to reduce resource waste and environmental pollution.

  • LED Technology

LED lamps have less impact on the environment, they do not contain harmful elements such as mercury, and xenon, and generate less heat during operation, which helps to reduce thermal pollution to the environment. In addition, the waste of LED lamps is also less potentially harmful to the environment.

LED lamps have a wide range of applications, because of their small size, can be made into points, lines, surfaces, and other forms, especially suitable for the production of complex lamps and applications in specific fields.
