What is the difference between a wall light and a line light

What is the difference between a wall light and a line light?

Many customers who have just come into contact with lighting, usually can not make clear the difference between "wall washing lamp" and "line lamp", because the appearance looks like a long strip shape of lamps and lanterns; However, in terms of application scenarios and lighting efficiency, the two are quite different.

1. Application of lighting effect:

The wall washing lamp is to let the light wash the wall like water. In principle, it adjusts the emission Angle of the light through the secondary lens light distribution and controls the irradiation range of the light so that the light shines on the wall. And the application of light lamp is similar, but the effect will be more soft, from the effect of the view belongs to the "surface light".

Line lights are mainly used for building outline, or multiple light strips through the arrangement and combination to make a large dynamic full color light bar screen; From the luminescent effect of lamps and lanterns, it is a typical line type decorative light source.

2. Specifications and Parameters:

Most of the wall washing lights are high-power products, line lights are small power in the majority; Because the wall washing lamp should consider the irradiation range and height, there will be a certain distance between the general lamps and the wall, and the high-power wall washing lamp can be competent; And line lights do outline decorative lighting, generally small power can meet the need.

It is more difficult to heat and waterproof the wall washing lamp. Drainage and convective heat dissipation design should be considered. LED wall washing lamp in the production process, first of all to carry out glue treatment, and then on the glass cover plate with glass glue bonding to achieve structural waterproof; Line light power is a little smaller, in the heat dissipation process will be relatively simple.

3. Product appearance:

The wall washing lamp is equipped with a secondary optical lens, another very intuitive point is that the LED wall washing lamp has a mounting bracket, can freely adjust the Angle, in line with its own application needs; Also in size, there are many large wall washing lights, and line lights are generally a little smaller; LED line lights are mostly square in appearance, and LED wall washing lights are more diversified in appearance design because of the bracket.
