Linear lights, in-ground lights, and wall washer lights. What are the differences and features between them?
Linear lights are long and narrow, allowing for seamless splicing. They are primarily used for surface or recessed installation, with a wide beam angle (60-120°), linear and uniform light output, and lower power. They are mainly used for contouring and linear auxiliary lighting, such as building eaves and ceiling light troughs. LED linear lights adopt high-quality PCB circuit boards to solve the problem of voltage drop, adopting high-brightness and super-high-quality LEDs.LED linear light is a kind of indoor and outdoor landscape decoration light, mainly suitable for indoor buildings and outdoor landscape lighting applications.LED linear lights are easy to install and can be made into waterproof and non-waterproof lights. And the LED linear lights have the characteristics of high brightness, uniform luminosity, and no glare. The flashing effect can be freely set according to the environment and your requirements. The products mainly include monochrome plus magic color RGB and magic color RGBW, etc. LED Linear light can be made into two external control modes: DMX512 and TTL. The shell of the LED linear light is mainly composed of imported PC materials and high-quality aluminum alloy. The main advantages of PC materials are: high-quality heat resistance, good transparency and high impact resistance, and other physical and mechanical properties, and have the advantages of high light transmittance, corrosion resistance, and UV resistance.
In-ground lights are either round or square—they’re sealed fixtures designed to be recessed into the ground. Thick and durable, they can withstand being stepped on and are waterproof (with an IP67 to IP68 rating), made specifically for underground installation. When installing, you need to ensure good drainage and that the area can bear weight. They come in several beam angles, all projecting light upward, and have moderate power. Perfect for sprucing up the ground—like decorating lawns or illuminating trees—or for lighting landmark spots. In-ground light is a high-power LED underground light product specially designed for outdoor landscape lighting. Adopting high thermal conductivity die-casting aluminum shell, through high thermal conductivity and weather-resistant PU glue potting + sealing ring double waterproof; the appearance of the lamps is exquisite and generous; the lamps are connected through the national standard customized flexible cable, which can be bent or deformed at will; the appearance and color temperature can be customized; Mainly used for decorative lighting and lighting of green belts, parks, lawns, courtyards, streets, parking lots, squares and other places.
Wall washer lights fall between linear lights and floodlights in shape, with greater width and thickness, emphasizing heat dissipation design. They are installed using brackets or wall mounts at a certain distance from the wall, with a beam angle of 15-60° to evenly illuminate the wall surface. They have more power and are used for things like illuminating walls and showing colours, such as the walls of buildings and the walls of exhibition halls. The wall washer light is a high-power SMD LED strip made for lighting up outdoor areas. It adopts an aviation-grade 6063 extruded aluminum shell, flame-retardant plastic PC end cover, and is sealed and sealed by high thermal conductivity and weather-resistant PU glue; it can be used to outline the building, the wall is brightened, and the inner and outer surfaces are brightly decorated; the length of the wall washer can be customized. The installation method is flexible and simple.
