1# LED floodlight
It also has another name, namely LED spotlight. The LED floodlight is controlLED by a built-in microchip. Different chips can be divided into two types:
- Using power chip combination. Stable performance, suitable for small-scale irradiation
- Using a single high-power chip, the product structure is huge. It can achieve high power and long-distance large-area projection.
Advantage
It can aim in any direction and has a structure that is not affected by climatic conditions.
Application
Stadiums, large-area operation sites, building outlines, parks, etc. Almost all large-area lighting fixtures used outdoors can be regarded as floodlights. If you want to obtain the effect that the illuminance on the specified illuminated surface is higher than the surrounding environment, you can choose this lamp.
2# LED wall washer
Its shape is rectangular, so you will hear others call it linear LED flood light or linear light, and its technical parameters are similar to LED floodlight. Compared with the circular structure, its strip-shaped structure of heat dissipation device is better.
Advantage
The built-in microchip control can be used without a controller in small-scale engineering applications and can achieve dynamic effects such as gradual change, jump change, color flashing, gradual alternation, random flashing, etc.
Through the control of DMX, the effects of chasing and scanning can be realized.
Application
Historical building exterior wall lighting, single building; indoor local lighting, green landscape lighting; special facilities lighting; entertainment venues atmosphere lighting, etc.
The lighting design of the wall is like washing over the wall is also a popular way of architectural lighting. In addition, it can also outline the outline of the building.
3# LED guardrail tube
The guardrail tube composed of high-quality LED light-emitting diodes can brighten the city landscape.
Advantage
- Long life
- High Brightness
- Low power consumption
- High reliability
- Energy-saving and environmental protection
- Shockproof
- Colorful
- Pure color
4# LED strip
After the light strip is connected to the power supply, it will emit light to form a light strip effect.
Advantage
- Varied luminous colors
- Dimmable
- Controllable color change
- Choice of monochrome and RGB effects
Application
Bridges, gardens, buildings, ceilings, roads, furniture, ponds, underwater, advertisements, cars, etc.
The difference between light strip and guardrail tube
The package is different. Light strip: The circuit components are exposed. Although it can be used indoors and outdoors, it is mostly used indoors.
Guardrail tube: All components are enclosed in resin (plastic). Mostly used outdoors.
The use of light strips is a way to make the environment colorful, and it can also provide a joyful atmosphere to the environment.
5# LED Underground Light
The method of providing lighting buried in the ground is widely used in the field of scientific and technological lighting. It can be illuminated by DMX512, internal control, and external control. The lamp body has various shapes, rich colors, and colorful lighting effects.
Application
Plazas, gardens, shopping malls, residential landscaping, exhibition halls, stage bars, tourist attractions, etc.
6# LED luminous characters
LED luminous characters are luminous characters made with light-emitting diodes as the light source.
Advantage
- Green
- Energy saving
- Long life
- Enhance outdoor grade
Application (mainly signboard)
KTV signs, star hotel outdoor signs, hotel roofs, and exterior walls, LED perforated characters on exterior walls, shopping plaza signs, etc.
7# LED point light source
The LED cold light source can be programmed and controlLED arbitrarily, and it is an environmentally friendly and energy-saving decorative light.
Advantage
- Energy-saving and environmental protection
- Beautiful
- Waterproof performance number
- Safe and reliable
- The linear light source has a good effect
Application
Billboards, buildings, curtain walls, bridge outlines, and night scene lighting
8# LED underwater light
As the name suggests, it is instalLED underwater, and its appearance is similar to some underground lights, but it has an additional mounting chassis, which is fixed with screws. Because LED underwater lights are used underwater and require higher requirements, they are generally made of stainless steel, dust-proof, waterproof, anti-leakage, corrosion-resistant, and other materials.
Advantage
- Small and delicate appearance
- Good waterproof effect
- Internal control does not require an external controller, can be built in a variety of change modes
Application
- Theme park
- Fountain
- Exhibition
- Business
- Artistic lighting
9# LED meteor light
LED meteor light is a kind of decorative light used in the outdoor landscape. It adopts a high-quality rigid PCB circuit board combined with high-brightness and super-quality chips to achieve the effect of chasing meteors.
Advantage
- Meteor-like blinking effect
- Easy to install
- waterproof
- Brightness
- It can be connected arbitrarily according to the environment
Application
- Hang objects, such as on branches and under eaves
- Bars, hotel lobbies, pedestrian streets, garden squares, roads, stairs, used for decoration of buildings, hair salons, etc., do not need to be installed.
We can see from other occasions that some lamps combined with sensor switches give people more surprises, you can refer to and design according to your purpose. 9 kinds of lighting lamps have different effects, advantages, and applications. You can decide which lamps to use to help your place more attractive after comprehensive consideration.
