Langlada: You don't know these advantages and disadvantages of track lights
Today just follow Langlada to find out these knowledge you don't know about track light's advantages and disadvantages.
LED Track Lightings is the installation of a track above a continuous track containing copper wire, through which angles and different optical designs can be adjusted to provide spatial elasticity and variable lighting design. With more track collocation, track lights can effectively liberate the light from the traditional rigid restrictions through the lamps and lanterns. The track system can be installed on the ceiling, wall, ground, beam or suspended in any space, and even reduce the ceiling decoration cost.
01. Track light beam, originally there are these differences
In addition to LED and halogen bulbs, track lamps can also choose the appropriate light color temperature and irradiation area according to the illuminated object, which can be roughly divided into the following three types:
Spotlight type track light:
Concentrating type track lamp is less than 20 degrees narrow Angle beam range, can make the irradiation place or items very prominent, but the beam range is small, the light will become more sharp direct, secondary spot will become obvious, concentrating type track lamp is usually suitable for statue, flower planting, art, specific decoration and other key lighting. If used in the home space, it is recommended to install soft light lens to modify the light.
Soft light type track light:
The soft light track lamp is a medium Angle beam range of 20-40 degrees. Compared with the concentrated light track lamp, its light effect is softer, which can make the irradiated objects have a strong visual impact without eating the lines and texture of the irradiated objects. Soft light type track light suitable for wall, painting, photography, general walkway or flat art, etc.
Flood type track light:
Floodlight track lamp is a wide Angle beam range of more than 50 degrees, which belongs to floodlight source. Because the scattered light has a large range, it can not focus on a single object, and is often mixed with the background and light source. It belongs to the atmosphere creation type light source and can not guide the visual focus.
02. LED VS Halogen lamp track bulb big competition
Energy saving:
With the same brightness of the track lamp, the LED track lamp is more energy saving than the previous halogen track lamp, the power consumption is only 40%-60% of the original, has a very significant energy-saving effect.
Life span:
Common big-label LED track lights can last up to 30,000 hours, while traditional track lights typically only last 8,000 hours.
Effectiveness:
The electro-optic conversion efficiency of LED track lamp can reach about 90%, rarely heating, while ordinary bulbs convert about 80% into heat energy, only about 20% into light energy, so LED track lamp will be more efficient and energy-saving.
Safety:
Halogen as the light source of ordinary bulbs, the principle of luminescence is the heavy metal element mercury after gasification and reaction with the two electrodes to produce light, large heat, radiation; LED is a cold light source, not easy to cause accidents in the process of use, relatively safe and secure. In addition, ordinary bulbs and fluorescent lamps will flicker when the power supply is alternating, which is easy to cause visual impairment, and also the hidden concern of the use of non-LED lights.
03. Install track lights, pay attention to the length and edge
The common track is a two-line track, if you pay close attention to the track will find that the same side will have long and short sides of the design, such a design is like the USB slot design, and the track light is the same. And the head of the track lamp will also have a long and short side design, to help you in the installation can be a good position and direction, and then fixed work, and the way of installation is the long side of the track to the short side of the track light, the short side of the track is the long side of the track light. If installed anti-lamps will be bright, but because the interface is not level enough will lead to lamps a little crooked, so in their own installation or please master installation, it is best to pay more attention to the length of the design, if encountered more precise track light, hard installed in the wrong side will cause damage to the track head, that is, can not continue to use.
04. Choose the right style of track light
Although the track lamps have many advantages, so that many home decoration has begun to be widely used, but because the track lights will be exposed to the ceiling, the track will also affect the ceiling lines, can not be like the lamp to create a simple ceiling vision, so it is recommended that you consider the style and atmosphere in the home before choosing the LED Track Lights, to avoid the sudden track and lamps affect the original beauty of the space, This can not play the beauty of the track lamp, but also make the home atmosphere is not complete!
