Generally speaking, the opening size of downlights can be roughly divided into three types, namely: 2 inches, 2.5 inches and 3 inches. It should be noted that the larger the opening size, the higher the overall height of the downlight, and the greater the requirement for the ceiling depth. In general, the height of the downlights after stretching is between 10 cm and 13 cm, so the depth of the ceiling of the ceiling where the downlight is installed is usually more than 13 cm. If the ceiling is too shallow, you may consider installing a ceiling spotlight or a horizontal downlight . The ceiling installation of ceiling spotlights requires only 6-8 cm.

From the light source point of view, the downlight can be equipped with both incandescent and energy-saving lamps. Incandescent lamps show yellow light, and energy-saving lamps show white light or yellow light. Due to the relatively large number of downlights in the home, considering energy-saving issues, downlights are generally dominated by energy-saving lamps. At present, there are mini energy-saving lamps for downlights on the market. There are two types of energy-saving lamps: 2U tubes and spiral tubes. The wattages are 3 watts, 5 watts, 7 watts, and 9 watts. In addition, the downlight is fixed, the direction of its light source is not adjustable, and the direction of the light source of the spotlight is adjustable.
