Spotlights are in the impression of most people as optional decorative lights, Today, we will discuss how to use spotlights instead of ceiling lights and chandeliers to play with home lighting.

In daily life, we often find that because ceiling lights and chandeliers are usually installed in the middle of the house, there is usually no light in the corners of the house, and there are even shadows blocking the view. And spotlights can freely change the direction of illumination, so that there are no blind spots in the lighting.


Spot lights are lamps with directional lighting, and their luminous angles can be selected from 15 °, 30 °, 45 °, 60 °, or even 120 °, 180 °. If the beam angle is small, it is commonly referred to as focused light, while if the beam angle is large, it is scattered light. Astigmatism is soft and can be used for main lighting, while spotlight is mostly used to highlight specific items.

Concealed spotlights vs. exposed spotlights

Concealed spotlights must be combined with the ceiling, and can be directly embedded in the gypsum board of the ceiling, evenly distributed, to ensure that there are no blind spots in home lighting.

Surface mounted spotlights can be said to be a scaled down version of ceiling lights to some extent. Unlike concealed spotlights, exposed spotlights can directly achieve the lighting effect without installing a ceiling.

As a member of the spotlight family, track spotlights not only have the characteristics of spotlights, but also stand out in that they need to be installed on dedicated rails (three or four wires), and the position of the lights on the track can be adjusted according to actual lighting needs. In terms of application, track spotlights can generally adjust the projection direction at a horizontal angle of 355 ° and a vertical angle of 90 °. The projection is very flexible and suitable for use in open spaces of living rooms and dining rooms, playing a main lighting role. At the same time, it can also focus on illuminating decorative items in the home.

There are three installation methods for track spotlights:

（1） Slot the ceiling and install the track inside the slot;

（2） The track is installed on the ceiling;

（3） The track can achieve suspension wire installation.
