Embedding & Surface-mounted, which LED Downlight should We Choose?
September 01,2022
Downlights can be installed in two different ways - surface mounted and embedded. The surface-mounted downlight is "convex" when installed on the ceiling. The embedded downlight is embedded in the ceiling, so the lamp body cannot be seen.
You can choose the appropriately led downlight according to your specific ceiling and floor height.
Ceiling mounted ceiling - embedding downlight
The floor height of an ordinary commercial house is usually (H ≤ 2.8m). If the ceiling is installed, it may only be about 2.6m. Therefore, when selecting downlights, it is taboo to have "protruding" lamp bodies occupy the vertical space.
When the embedded downlight is installed, the lamp body is "embedded" in the ceiling. Only the mask and light source are exposed. If the color of the mask is close to the ceiling, it can be "integrated" with the ceiling. The whole decoration after installation.
The downlight of this installation mode is designed to keep the ceiling "clean" and uniform, and can visually "stretch" the height of the floor and eliminate the sense of oppression.
No ceiling or high floor height - surface-mounted downlight
How to choose downlights when there is no ceiling at home? In this case, the surface-mounted downlight can be selected, but it is better to use the shorter lamp body (the protruding feeling is not too obvious. It is more harmonious with the home decoration environment).
The surface-mounted downlight does not need to have a ceiling or an opening on the ceiling. It only needs to be fixed on the ceiling with screws using a shelf, and then the downlight is fixed on the shelf with screws. After installation, it protrudes from the ceiling.
Villas are not limited, depending on the style
For the space with high floor heights such as villas and duplexes, the space conditions allow, and the selection of downlights can be very flexible because it is no longer limited by the floor height. As long as the power gear and the beam angle are matched (high-rise and high-rise households need lamps with medium and high wattage and narrow beam angle).
Whether it is an embedded downlight or a surface-mounted downlight, they are only different in appearance and installation mode, and they are equal in light quality.
