Comparison of Wall Washer and Other Lamps
Firstly is from the perspective of use. The point light source is equivalent to the function of a fluorescent lamp, or the previous incandescent lamp.
The power of the wall washer is generally relatively large, which is equivalent to the projection lamp, and the light exit angle is narrow and the angle is adjustable. This is obviously not possible with point light sources.
Although the appearance of the linear lamp is very similar to the wall washer, it has a low power and cannot cast light. One is that the power is not enough, and the other is that the light exit angle is not designed as a wall washer. It is used for contour lighting, such as buildings, or railings, etc. Therefore, the line light can also be regarded as a line light source, as opposed to a point light source.
The difference between flood light and wall washer
The wall washer, as the name implies, allows the light to wash through the wall like water. It is also used for building decorative lighting. It is also effective to outline the surface of large-scale buildings, image walls, sculptures, etc.! The built-in light source of the wall washer was fundamental in the past. Adopting T8 and T5 tubes, nowadays there are basically fluorescent tubes turning to LED lamps as light sources. Because LEDs have the characteristics of energy saving, high luminous efficiency, rich colors, and long life, the wall washer lamps of other light sources are gradually being used by LEDs. Replace the wall washer. Wall washer is also called linear flood light because of its long strip shape, some people call it LED linear light.
Project-light lamp-a lamp that makes the illuminance on the designated illuminated surface higher than the surrounding conditions. Also known as floodlights. Generally, it can be aligned to any deflection, and has a layout that is not affected by weather conditions. It is mainly used for large-area operation sites, surfaces of buildings, sports fields, overpasses, memorial monuments, parks and flower beds. Therefore, almost all large-area lighting fixtures used outdoors can be regarded as floodlights. The angle of the outgoing beam of the floodlight is wide or narrow, and the narrow beam is called a searchlight.
The difference between wall washer and flood light
1. The shape of a wall washer is usually a long strip, and a floodlight is usually round or square.
2. Illumination results The wall washer irradiates a strip of light. When multiple wall washers are put together, the entire wall is washed by the light. Usually the light is not far apart, and the illuminated surface becomes more prominent. And the floodlight is a beam of light illuminates, the illumination interval is far, the area is larger.
