Different from the outdoor natural light, in everyone’s home or office, indoor flood light is emitted from the lamp, which results in the complexity of light selection and layout. We must consider the price & quality of indoor flood lights, but also study the science of lighting. LED flood lamp have become a modern lighting device because of its overwhelming advantages after replacing halogen, tungsten, fluorescent or incandescent bulbs. We can explain the basic characteristics of indoor flood lights such as power, brightness, color temperature, shading, soft light, and reflected light.
Points to note before buying indoor LED flood lights
The bulb with excellent performance can not only protect the eyes from fatigue, but also has the advantages of long service life and power saving. The mainstream bulbs on the market are classified as incandescent lamps, halogen lamps, fluorescent lamps, and LED lamps.
Power of indoor lights
Watts (W) represent how much joules per second are consumed. The higher the wattage is, the greater the power consumption is; however, there are not direct relationships between wattage and brightness as we indicate the latter parameter by lumen (lm). For example, 100 watt halogen bulbs produce brightness of 10 watt LED indoor lights. Especially with the advancement of current LED lighting technology, it can produce higher brightness than the same wattage of energy-saving light bulbs.
Color temperature
The human pursuit of light is inborn. Maybe you have never thought about it, but you can always tell in which light you feel comfortable and when you feel uncomfortable. The morning and night are best for walking and exercising. No one is happy to go out at noon. Why? Not only is it too hot, there is one important reason why it is too bright and the light is too harsh.
The choice of indoor flood lights at office & home should compile with natural law, not too bright or too dark – too bright will be like walking in the hot sun, too dark will feel sad and let people feel drowsy. Of course, everyone in the family has a different focus on brightness. Some people like to be cozy, some people like to be bright and white, but fortunately the wattage of the bulb is optional, and there is a lot of room for maneuver. You need to understand the color temperature. Corresponding to the natural light, people created three types of indoor led light and distinguished them by the color temperature.
Daylight
The color is cool, the illuminated area is relatively large, and the visual effect is very clear.
Warm white light
The color is a little warmer, the irradiation area is moderate. The visual effect is clear.
Warm light (or yellow light)
The color is yellow and the visual effect is warm, but the vision might not be crystal clear.
The use of indoor LED floodlight with white color in public places and conference rooms is proper because it allows people to stay awake. On the contrary, for the household lighting, warm white light is the most suitable for living room as it can keep the whole space cool and natural. However, other lamps in the living room, such as floor lamps, table lamps, and backyard light should use warm light. It is because when the main light is not on, it can maintain a strong warmth and comfort.
Shading (the light shield)
If you happen to the restaurant for dinner, you will find that the chandelier has a lampshade, and it is also so low. The rationale behind of using the lampshade is to block the unwanted part of the indoor flood light, as we rely on a small range of high-brightness, and warm-colored light sources to provide a clear lighting and beautification for the food and the desktop, and will not irritate your eyes due to glare. If you plan to make several floodlights together, then each clam need at least 3 watts. The height of the suspension is about 0.5 to 1 meters from the desktop. At this height, most of the lamps will not have light shining on the human eye, but they will also maintain a certain brightness, and have little hindrance to human activities.
Indoor Downlights and spotlights
Downlights and spotlights are often confused. The biggest difference is whether or not they have a soft light board. Due to the soft light plate, the down light has no light gathering effect, the irradiation range is large, the light is soft, and the eyes do not have a strong sense of stimulation. The spotlights have a focusing function, and the angle and range of illumination are relatively small. It is very suitable for illuminating individual objects to highlight the edge contours and layering. It is not suitable for home environment lighting, and the angle is not easy to direct people. The advantage of this is that it completely avoids glare and allows walls, ceilings and ground to become A huge lamp.
LED Wall indoor flood lights
The advantages of using wall lamps in many scenes are very obvious. They do not take up space, and they can also achieve full lighting functions. Crucially, the wall lamp can provide reflected light, so that the entire wall becomes a huge lamp.
LED strip light
It is a very contemporary lighting fixture for indoor house decoration. If your home has a very long and narrow space, such as long corridors, stairs, and etc, you can use ordinary white or yellow or even color changing light strips for ceiling and track lights.
