Both LED wall washers and LED hard light bars 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 light bars 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.
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 rigid 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 hard 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 due to the relatively large size, thermal aspects better, so in terms of design also greatly reduces the difficulty, but in practical applications, there will be constant current drive is not doing too good, there's also a lot of damage, So how to make the wall washer work better, the focus is on the control and drive aspects, let us learn together.
