Choosing the Right Location

Play with Angles

Experiment with different angles to highlight the depth and texture of the objects being lit. A light directed upwards can create dramatic shadows, while one tilted downwards can provide a softer effect.

Frequently Asked Questions about Outdoor Lights

We often get queries about the types of lights and their specific uses. We understand that the lingo can get a bit confusing, especially when you're trying to find the perfect lighting solution. To help you with, here are answers to some of the most asked questions:

What Is the Difference Between a Downlight and a Spotlight?

A spotlight is a broad term for any light that projects a directed beam to focus on a particular area or object. They are versatile, come with different beam angles, and can be adjusted to change the direction of the light.

On the other hand, a downlight is a type of light that is recessed into the ceiling and shines light directly downwards in a narrow beam. Unlike a spotlight, its position and direction are usually fixed, making it more suitable for general lighting than highlighting specific objects.

What Are the Two Types of Spotlights?

Traditionally, spotlights can be divided into two categories: fixed and adjustable or directional. Fixed spotlights emit light in a single direction that can't be changed after installation. On the contrary, adjustable spotlights allow you to redirect the light beam as required, offering more flexibility.

What Is the Difference Between LED Spotlight and Downlight?

The primary difference between LED spotlights and downlights lies in their application. LED spotlights are often used to spotlight features, provide task lighting, or guide a path with their narrow, intense beam. LED downlights, meanwhile, are used to provide a consistent, overall illumination to a larger area. The light produced by downlights is usually softer and diffused, creating a general and relaxed ambience.

What Are the Different Sizes of Spotlights?

Just as there is a wide variety of applications for spotlights, they also come in various sizes. The size you'll need will depend mainly on your specific lighting needs and the area you want to illuminate. The common sizes for residential use range from the smallest, typically with a diameter of 10 to 45mm, to larger spotlights ranging up to 120mm. Remember that bigger doesn't always mean better. The light effect you wish to achieve should be the main determiner of the size you choose.
