Philips - Recessed Directional Spotlights (Part 1)

Good afternoon readers!

Today we're going to share about recessed spotlights.

Definition:-
"Directional spotlights create a cone of light to effectively create highlight and focus on artworks in the room. The baffle is how deep a bulb is set into the fixture, and a deeper set baffle will ensure that there is the least amount of glare from light, so your room remains soothing and comfortable to the eye."

"Recessed directional spotlights have different beam widths, and are used for different purposes. For example, use a spotlight with a wider beam angle to highlight a bigger area or a feature wall. A spotlight with a narrow beam angle can be used to highlight smaller paintings or artwork. It is also important to choose the correct beam angle for desired accent.

"Spot lighting allows you to create light textures in your room, for example, wall scallops and ceiling sparkles. The play on light intensity and shadows makes for a gorgeous ambiance. With flexible spotlights you can control beam direction to place artworks at the desired position."
(adapted from "Principles of Good Home Lighting" booklet, by Philips)

Beam angles in directional spots:
1) 40' for accent lighting
2) 90' wall wash
3) 120' general lighting or wall wash
4) 145' smooth or gentle wider wall wash
