Yeah - very narrow beam angle. Not sure if they have changed, but at the time there was only one beam angle available.
Design rendering shown below. The white is the bright spots.

They probably are a little spotty. but that would be the same for almost every downlight that doesn't use a diffuser. I do believe the light intensity travels out wider than it appears in your render though.

Re: Warm lights vs cool lights 63May 03, 2015 4:24 pm Yeah, as general rule, the eye can easily perceive a change of about 2x lux. So you'd quite easily notice a change from 200 lux to 100 lux, but 200 to 150 you probably wouldn't. So the heat map rendering always looks worse than what it is in real life. If you had dark floors you tend to notice it more too.

I was thinking the black may have absorbed the light? Cheers, Paul (& Lisa) Parkhill 36 by ClarendonHomes in Coomera Retreat H1 Build Thread And Blog Building Blogs List - Go Ahead And Add Yours!! Re: Warm lights vs cool lights 65May 03, 2015 6:02 pm Nah it's all about contrast. But yes the dark carpet will "absorb" most of the light. If you had lighter or hard surface floors it would reflect a lot more light back onto the walls and ceilings etc, so generally have to use a lot more light when lighting a room with dark and non-reflective finishes.

So if you have big windows and doors, the light travels straight through rather than being reflected back in to the room as it would if it was a white painted wall or something Building Services Engineer Renovating our 1960's modernist home in Brisbane https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=82091 So I'm just reading up on this ecosystem of lights. I'm planning on putting deck lights along the outside edge of a large deck. Will need about 3 packs (18 lights) plus… 0 23016 |
