Although there are many great inventions of human beings, this invention is the only product that makes us say goodbye to darkness. In our lives, especially in this colourful world, lights are everywhere. We look at the night in the high building lights to bring us to light and bring life interesting, so that we will use many kinds of lamps. This article will take you to understand the difference between flood lights and spotlights.

1. What is Flood light?

Flood light is not a spotlight. Flood lights create highly diffused, undirected light rather than a well-defined light, so the shadows produced by Flood lights are softer and more transparent. When illuminating an object with a Flood light, the speed of lighting reduction is much slower than that of spotlight lighting reduction. The material of the Flood light body is aluminium alloy die-casting, coated with a layer of high-temperature resistant, acid and alkali-resistant, anti-ageing material.

2. What is a spotlight?

Spotlight is a lamp that designates the illumination on the illuminated surface as higher than the surrounding environment. It can aim in any direction and has a structure that is not affected by weather conditions.

3. The difference between Flood lights and spotlights.

(1) Flood light characteristics.

You may be confused about the difference between Flood lights and spotlights. Flood lights are evenly illuminated in all directions from specific points in the lighting effect, Flood lights can be placed anywhere in the scene when they are used, and it is very common to use different colours of Flood lights in long-distance scenes. Flood lights can mix shade projection on the model, and Flood lights irradiate a large range. The irradiation effect is easy to predict and has many auxiliary uses.

(2) spotlight characteristics.

The difference between Flood lights and spotlights is the difference in lighting range between the two. Spotlights are controlled by built-in microchips, which can achieve dynamic effects such as fading, jumping and random flickering, and can be controlled by DMX to achieve special effects such as chasing and scanning. At present, spotlights can be applied to the building's internal light, outside lighting, local indoor lighting, billboard lighting, ballroom and other entertainment venues.

(3) Quality engineering.

The quality of the two differences is small. High-end spotlights and Flood lights will be more secure. With social progress, spotlights can be used for lighting functions and to create a better visual projection effect. LED spotlights are more energy-efficient and brighter than traditional light sources, spotlights are more complex to produce, but Flood lights have a wider lighting range.

(4) Notes.

Flood lights and spotlights also differ in the use of precautions, and spotlights need to pay attention to matters such as high-purity aluminium reflective plates, narrow symmetrical angles, and the most accurate beam. Spotlight lamps are equipped with a scale plate to adjust the irradiation angle.

(5) Irradiation range.

Floodlights and spotlights are also different in the range of irradiation. Spotlights are also called projection lamps, mainly used for architectural decorative lighting and commercial space lighting, better decorative in the shape and design of a variety of styles; and Flood lights can be evenly irradiated to all places around, the irradiation range can be adjusted at will, the standard Flood lights can be used to illuminate the whole scene.

The above is the difference between a flood light and a spotlight. If you need more detailed information, welcome to contact us!
