1. According to their function, lighting fixtures are divided into two categories: decorative lighting fixtures and functional lighting fixtures.
1. Decorative lighting fixtures consist of decorative components and a light source. In addition to considering lighting efficiency and glare prevention requirements, their design is mainly to meet the needs of architectural art and have a beautiful appearance.
2. The function of the luminaire is to redistribute the luminous flux of the light source, improve the utilization efficiency of light, avoid glare, and create a suitable lighting environment. In special lighting environments such as humid, corrosive, explosive, and flammable environments, the lampshade also plays a role of isolation and protection.
Secondly, lighting fixtures are divided into two categories according to their use: indoor lighting fixtures and outdoor lighting fixtures.
1. Indoor lighting fixtures are usually classified according to the distribution ratio of the total luminous flux in the upper and lower hemisphere spaces. The International Commission on Illumination recommends that lighting fixtures be divided into five categories: direct lighting, semi-direct lighting, uniform diffuse lighting, semi-indirect lighting, and indirect lighting fixtures. The table below shows the light distribution and lighting characteristics of different types of luminaires.
2. Outdoor lighting fixtures mainly include floodlights. Floodlights, also known as floodlights, are a type of high-intensity light source that uses reflectors, lenses, and grids to confine light to a smaller three-dimensional angle. They are commonly used for nighttime illumination of large buildings.
