What is the difference between LED linear lights, LED wall washer lights, and LED rigid strip lights?

LED linear light is a high-end flexible decorative light, which is especially suitable for indoor and outdoor decoration, building outline drawing and billboard production. It is currently widely used in the market.

LED wall washer is to make the light wash the wall like water. It is mainly used for architectural decoration lighting and also used to outline the outline of large buildings.

LED linear lights and LED wall washers have many similarities in appearance, and their shapes are long strips. The difference between the two is whether they have a bracket or not. The other is some subtle differences, the type of chip used. LED linear lights are mostly used for building outlines or digital screen effects. Of course, they may also be installed in the corners to let the lights shine on the wall. LED wall washer is to make the light wash the wall like water. The effect here is that the LED wall washer hits the light on the wall, similar to the application method of LED flood light, but the effect of LED wall washer is more obvious soft.

Specifications and parameters: LED wall washers are mostly high-power products, while LED linear lights are mostly low-power. Because the LED wall washer depends on the illumination height, there is generally a certain distance from the wall, and the high-power LED wall washer is more competent. When the LED linear lamp is used as a contour, low power is sufficient. LED wall washer is more difficult to dissipate and waterproof. It needs drainage and convection design. In the production process of LED wall washer, first use the wall washer glue machine for glue filling, and then put glass glue on the glass cover for glue. Together to achieve structural waterproofing.

Product Appearance: Many LED wall washers have lenses. The most intuitive point is that the LED wall washers have brackets that can freely adjust the angle to meet their own application requirements.

Both LED wall washers and LED hard strip lights are linear lamps, which are called linear lamps in the lighting industry. However, LED wall washers are generally used for outdoor landscape lighting, and LED hard strip lights are generally used indoors! Both have their own strengths, and there are many differences between the two. For example, it includes use and performance, materials, and appearance structure. Common indoor LED hard strip lights include: decorative dark grooves, decorative lights around the ceiling, jewelry counters, etc.

Difference 1: Use

The light irradiated by the LED wall washer is higher than that of the hard light bar, and the area is wider. LED hard light strips are more suitable for jewelry counter lights. If they are used on external walls, they are not very suitable. If they are used on external walls, they should be used for those with an illumination height of less than 1 meter. It is better to use a wall lamp if you want to take a high range.

Difference 2: appearance structure

The LED wall washer is made of high-power LEDs, and it is better that the waterproof level should be above IP65. The LED rigid light bar is made of low-power light source, mainly made of SMD 5050 lamp beads. Generally not waterproof, it is mainly used in the dark groove, and it can have a variety of colors.

Difference 3: Projection distance

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

LED wall washer is relatively large in size and better in terms of heat dissipation, so the difficulty in design is greatly reduced, but in practical applications, it will also appear that the constant current drive is not very good, and there are many damages, so How to make the wall washer work better, the focus is on control and driving.
