WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LED LINE LIGHTS, LED WALL WASH UPLIGHTS, AND LED HARD STRIP LIGHTS?

Author:

LED line light is a high-end flexible decorative light, especially suitable for indoor and outdoor decoration, outline of buildings and production of billboards. It is widely used in the market at present. LED wall wash uplight is to let the light wash the wall like water. It is mainly used for architectural decoration lighting, and it is also used to outline the outline of large buildings.

LED line lights and LED wall wash uplights have many similarities in appearance. Their shapes are long strips. The difference between the two lies in the presence or absence of brackets. In addition, there are some subtle differences in the type of chips used. Most of the LED line lights are used to outline the outline of the building, or to make a digital screen effect. Of course, they may also be installed on the corner of the wall to let the light shine on the wall. The LED wall wash uplight is to let the light wash the wall like water. The effect here is that the LED wall wash uplight hits the light on the wall, which is similar to the application method of the LED flood light, but the effect of the LED wall wash uplight is more soft.

1. The difference between LED linear light and LED wall wash uplight

(1) Specifications and parameters: Most LED wall wash uplights are high-power products, while LED linear lights are mostly low-power products. Because the LED wall wash uplight depends on the irradiation height, generally there is still a certain distance from the wall, and the high-power LED wall wash uplight is more competent. And for LED line lights to make outlines, low power is enough. It is more difficult for LED wall wash uplight to dissipate heat and waterproof. It needs drainage and convection design. During the production process of LED wall wash uplight, first of all, use a wall washer glue filling machine for glue filling, and then apply glass glue on the glass cover for bonding to achieve structural waterproofing.

(2) Product appearance: Many LED wall wash uplights have lenses. It is very intuitive that LED wall wash uplights have brackets, which can freely adjust the angle and meet their own application requirements.

2. The difference between LED wall wash uplight and LED hard strip light

(1) In terms of use

The light illuminated by the LED wall wash uplight is higher than that of the hard light bar and has a wider area. LED hard strip lights are more suitable for jewelry counter lights, but not very suitable for exterior walls. If they are used for exterior walls, they should be used for those whose illumination height is within 1 meter. If you want to illuminate a high range, it is better to use a wall light.

(2) Appearance structure

The LED wall wash uplight is made of high-power LEDs, and it is better to require the waterproof level to be above IP65. LED hard strip lights are made of low-power light sources, mainly made of SMD lamp beads. Generally not waterproof, mainly used in dark grooves, can have a variety of colors.

(3) Projection distance

LED wall wash uplights are generally used for outdoor landscape lighting, and the projection distance can reach 2-50 meters. Rigid light strips are mostly used indoors.

Due to the relatively large volume and better heat dissipation of the LED wall wash uplight, the design difficulty is greatly reduced. However, in practical applications, the constant current drive is not very good, and there are many damages. Therefore, how to make the wall washer work better, the focus is on control and drive.
