Replacing the suspended ceiling Halogen-spot lamp (or spotlights) on the LED, many are faced with problem: the old incandescent lighting was comfortable, and LED spotlights are beginning to dazzle - to look at them impossible.


In fact, the reason is not the case in the light source and the LED's nothing to do with. The reason for varying the angle of illumination. In halogen spots with a GU10 base and GU5.3 lighting angle is very narrow - 25-35 °. When a lamp is installed in the ceiling, we look at it at a steep angle and we were only a small amount of light enters the eye - the light does not blind.

Most LED spotlight is lighting angle of about 100 °, and when we look at this lamp, even at a large angle, us a great amount of light enters the eye, which dazzles.

Fortunately, there are LED spotlights with a narrow angle of illumination. It's all spots IKEA, Philips, Osram and some spots of other companies. Their distinctive feature - one or more lenses.


Spots with a wide angle of illumination is quite possible to be used in small rooms (eg in the bathroom and toilet) - where sight never falls into the light. If the spots are arranged in a large room and the light sources can be seen in the normal view, suitable only spots with a narrow beam of light. On the site you can sort them lamptest.ru
