1. What is a spotlight?

Spotlights originated in the theater world, they are lights used to showcase the main actors, becoming the focal point of the spotlight to highlight someone.

In modern decoration, a spotlight is a outdoor lights that is usually mounted on a surface and fixed to a wall or ceiling. They provide multiple beams of lights, and while the lights are fixed on one unit, each "point" can be adjusted to point in a different direction.

Exterior LED spotlights are used to accentuate landscape lighting -- to draw attention to specific architectural or landscape features. A sport light has a narrower beam, so it can focus on one object. Spotlights are often used to illuminate specific objects, such as statues, doorways, interesting trees, or architectural features in your home. You may also want to use spotlights if you want to limit light to a specific area (such as a small seating area) without allowing light to reach your neighbors' windows or otherwise cause light pollution.

Outdoor floor LED spotlights are also frequently used when landscape lighting designs use both light and shadow to create visual interest. Because they make it easier to direct light precisely where you want it, outdoor spot lighting is ideal for this type of design and allow your installer to create an agreed-upon look with greater precision.

 

2. How to use LED spot lights

When deciding to use these spotlights, you have to consider what you want to illuminate. To get an exterior feature lighting, you have to make sure to use it in the right way. Otherwise, you may not achieve the lighting effect or ambiance you want. You should also keep in mind that these spotlights are not meant to overwhelm your landscape. It's just to highlight the beauty of whatever is already there. Here are 5 different applications for spotlights.

 

(1) Uplighting

This is one of the basic applications of outdoor garden LED spotlights and outdoor ground spotlights. As the name suggests, the luminaire is oriented to provide an upward lighting effect. The spotlight is positioned lower so it can cast light upwards. This makes it great for lighting up trees or anything high enough from the ground. Architectural designs and structures such as pillars, fountains and statues will benefit from LED landscape spotlights. It can bring these features to life and appear lively and mysterious - depending on how you place the light. Contact with Suntech to get the best outdoor tree spotlights  for your LED garden lighting or industrial outdoor lighting projects.

 

(2) Silhouetting

This lighting effect positions landscape spotlights behind trees, plants or any outdoor structure. It casts light from the back to illuminate the shapes in front. Sometimes, the spotlight's position is off to one side. The important thing is that the light should be distributed evenly when casting the contour. The light should also be close enough to the wall to reflect the light for this effect.
In most cases, designers use it to achieve two things. One is to highlight something and the other is to show the contrast between light and dark backgrounds.

 

 

(3) Shadowing

Shadows are the opposite of silhouettes. Instead of placing the spotlight behind a landscape feature, place it in front. More specifically, in the middle of the vantage point and where you want to show. So it's probably between the path and the tree you want to light.
For good shadowing, the feature should be in front of a wall-like plane. Otherwise, nothing will catch the shadow you're trying to cast. When using this technique, keep in mind that what you are creating is an art form. Since you can adjust the landscape spotlights, you can adjust their angle to create the form of shadows you want to achieve in the background.

 

(4) Moonlighting

Moonlight is a shadow that uses a downlight effect to mimic natural light sources. At night, this means mimicking the light from the moon. This means that the outside spot lights must be on high. You can place the outdoor tree spotlights on tall tree branches or very tall walls or column structures. What's impressive about this effect is that it helps eliminate dark areas - especially long paths or stairs. This means that it allows people to move around safely.

 

(5) Washing

Spotlights are also great for creating ambient lighting. But wall washing seems like something a floodlight could do better. After all, it casts a wider beam.
But if you want a dramatic effect, you can also use spotlights to achieve a washed-out effect. Just make sure to place fixture properties to cover more space with light.
Remember that the purpose of washing is to remove shadows from the walls. The idea is to make it look well-lit, so it feels like more space. So if you're going to use a spotlight, you're probably going to have to use more -- especially if you want to illuminate a larger vertical surface.

 

3. What is the best beam angle for your spotlights?

You need to consider the shape of the light emitted by the LED spotlight.
The shape is described as the beam angle. Beam angle is defined as the angle of light distribution of 50% or more.

If you have a narrow beam angle, you will focus the light on a smaller area, increasing the amount of light in that area.
If the beam angle is wider, the light will be more spread out. You want to be able to illuminate a larger area, then you "dilute" the light in the larger area, effectively reducing the amount of lighting on that surface.
Also keep in mind the conical light distribution of LED spotlights. Dispersion also increases with increasing distance from the lamp.
This means that if you have high ceilings, you will want to make sure to choose narrow beam angle LED spotlights to ensure the light "reaches" before it spreads out.

 

You're probably used to thinking about light bulb brightness in watts - a 60-watt bulb is brighter than a 40-watt bulb. But don't forget that watts are a measure of electrical energy, not necessarily total light output.
LED spotlights are far more efficient than halogen bulbs. This means that watts are no longer a useful measure of brightness. Spotlight brightness is measured in lumens, which is slightly different than how traditional light bulbs are calculated.
The amount of useful lumens is defined as light falling within a 90 degree cone. As a rough guide, 300-400 lumens are recommended as a good ambient lighting level in the kitchen or hallway, and if you want a brighter worktop area, it is recommended to increase it to 700-800 lumens per square meter.

 

With halogen spotlights, a color is never an option - nearly all products from all manufacturers have the same color temperature and color quality.

However, for LED spotlights, there are many options for color temperature and CRI, making it harder to make sure you choose the one that suits your needs.
Color Temperature: Choose 3000K LED Spotlight. Color temperature is a term that helps someone looking for outdoor lighting know what shade/color the bulbs will emit when they are turned on. These colors are measured in degrees Kelvin (K). The lower the Kelvin number, the warmer the light will be.
• 2700K is considered the same color as a classic incandescent bulb
• 3000K is slightly bluish, similar to the light color of a halogen light bulb, but still has a warm, inviting yellow.
• 4000K is often referred to as "neutral white" because it's neither blue nor yellow - and is in the middle of the color temperature scale.
• 5000K range mimics natural daylight. It's crisp and clear, helping to draw attention to detail and draw attention to the central focal point. That's why this temperature range is used for security lighting, lighting the area around the garage, or to help showcase gorgeous water features like fountains or ponds.

 

Above we discussed how to choose the beam angle, brightness and color temperature of spotlights, so what other aspects need to be considered? Let's read on!

 

In other words, do you need a power-voltage capable spotlight like the GU10 LED? Or, do you need a low voltage MR16 fitting?
If you plan to use LED lights to replace low voltage halogen bulbs, you need to change your transformer to an LED-compatible driver. Alternatively, you can convert existing fixtures from MR16 to GU10 using the 5 x GU10 socket pack. By doing this, you'll completely eliminate the need for a transformer and no longer have to worry about compatibility issues. What's more, the low voltage outdoor spot lighting is safer then the high voltage lighting.

 

Yes. But not all LED spotlight bulbs come standard with dimmable, so it's important that you check before buying, the bulb's packaging will indicate whether the bulb can be dimmed.
If you're upgrading from traditional halogen bulbs to LED bulbs, your current dimmer switch may not work as well. We recommend choosing a dedicated LED compatible dimmer switch to avoid any issues.

 

Usually, the LED spotlights can be divided into three types: MR, BR and PAR. The type name is usually followed by a two-digit number indicating the bulb diameter in 1/8 inch. While most light fixtures today are built to accommodate bulbs measuring 50mm x 50mm, similar in size to traditional GU10 halogen lamps, not all LED bulbs are the same size. So it's important to check the size of your spotlights led outdoor before making your purchase, otherwise you may find they don't fit.
The more powerful the LED bulb, the larger its size. The reason is that powerful LED bulbs require a larger heat sink, which in turn increases the size of the bulb. Heat sinks are an important part of LED light bulbs and one of the many reasons why they are better than halogen lamps.

 

Exterior landscapes have different lighting needs. When it comes to the design and atmosphere you want to create, you can be as creative as you want. That's why our lamps are versatile enough to suit different applications.
◆ Highlight tall trees
◆ Create outlines or shadows for flower beds and low shrubs
◆ Highlight columns and architectural features
◆ Illuminate vertical surfaces such as walls
◆ Lighting up outdoor spaces for safety purposes
Spotlights outside house are versatile and can have different applications. In fact, different light fixtures can be used to illuminate your landscape. You have spotlights, underground lights, path lights, column lights, flood lights, and even accent lights. Each of these light fixtures will create a specific effect or atmosphere, bringing personality to your outdoor events.

Of these options, only spotlights and in-ground lights can achieve different lighting effects. But unlike buried lights, spotlights are above the ground. This means you can move them freely. If you suddenly decide to achieve a different lighting effect, you can point it in different directions and change positions to achieve different effects. This is what makes landscape spotlights a non-fixture in landscape design. Suntech has a variety of models of spotlights, welcome you to choose and buy!

 

Maybe many people are confused between spotlights and floodlights. Technically, the two are the same. The difference between them is the angle of the emitted beam.
Spotlights have more focus. This means it casts a narrower beam, usually 45 degrees or less. This makes it a great option if you need to focus the beam in a small space. So if you want to illuminate specific objects, architectural details, or landscape features, these are the lamps you need to use.
Floodlights project a wider beam of light. It can be up to 120 degrees in width. This makes it an ideal fixture for lighting larger surfaces like walls, driveways, etc.
About spotlight and floodlight, here is one point you need to know. When using the same wattage, spotlights and floodlights provide the same brightness. However, the floodlight seems to provide more powerful illumination because of the coverage it provides.

A downlight is a light fixture (luminaire) that illuminates downwards to illuminate the area below. They are usually recessed into the ceiling, so you can only see a small portion of the fittings below the ceiling. The downlights are a versatile use for lighting fixtures because they are used as part of a good lighting plan in most lighting projects. Downlights are most commonly used to provide general lighting in a specific space. It is a versatile light fixture that is perfect for multiple uses throughout the home. Downlight features are a great way to create areas, navigate the space, and highlight your key pieces like artwork. They work well in combination with other architectural and decorative accessories in tiered lighting schemes.
A spotlight is a light that projects a narrow, strong beam of light directly into one place that can be adjusted to any angle. Ceiling spotlights are one of the most adaptable lighting options, and they are the perfect lighting solution for any room. You can adjust the angle of the light to illuminate key areas. Spotlights are great for directing light onto specific objects, such as cabinets or picture frames, and can be used when recessed mounting is not an option. Spotlights are available in any of a number of variants and designs, from single to double, triple or quadruple spotlights mounted on matching board tracks. They are very convenient to use and have a wide range of uses!
