Recessed Downlights And Surface Mounted Downlights

1. The different installation methods of downlights

From the literal meaning, we can see the difference in installation methods. Before installing the recessed downlight, you need to open a hole in the ceiling, and then you can install it and clip the recessed downlight into the ceiling. The surface mounted downlight does not require pre-opening and can be installed directly on the ceiling.

2. The installation conditions of downlights are different

The condition for the installation of embedded recessed downlights must be a ceiling, if there is no ceiling, there is no way to install it. The installation conditions of surface mounted downlights are more extensive, and there are no special requirements for indoor installation positions and installation conditions.

3. The appearance of LED downlights is different

In fact, it is also very easy to distinguish embedded recessed downlights from surface mounted downlights in terms of appearance. The thickness of embedded LED recessed downlights is much thinner than that of LED surface mounted downlights, about 1-10 cm thick. Of course, the thicker the thickness, the better if conditions permit. The appearance thickness (it can also be said to be the height) of the surface mounted downlights is thicker, and the height of the surface mounted downlights is generally more than 10 cm.

Which is better for recessed downlights and surface mounted downlights for commercial indoor lighting?

This needs to be determined according to the interior design of commercial places. If there is no ceiling, such as supermarkets, it is recommended to use surface mounted LED downlights, which not only meet the installation conditions, but also have a good viewing experience. If it is only for lighting effect, it is generally recommended to use embedded recessed downlights, which can be well hidden and installed without affecting the overall interior decoration design effect. You can also listen to the opinions of interior designers to reasonably choose to use embedded LED downlights and surface mounted LED downlights.
