Philips
Philips, whose products have always been excellent, also guarantees the quality of the low-end circulation-grade downlights produced.
Royal Philips of the Netherlands has an unquestionable position in the lighting industry. Signify, the company that owns the "Philips", is the largest lighting company in the world.
Philips home decoration downlights start at 20-30 yuan/piece. This price range is aimed at mass market lamps. Downlights are usually simple and have basic designs. They do not have sophisticated optical designs due to the cost.
Panasonic
Panasonic downlights make up the majority of entry-level models. The PBT plastic Canfang series begins at 9 yuan/piece and the aluminum Yifang Series at 35 yuan/piece. Both models have excellent heat dissipation, and the light source quality and workmanship are comparable to those of Philips. On a par with each other, it is worth mentioning the IP44 waterproof series. The light-emitting surfaces can stop water splashing and dripping. This is a great choice for kitchens and baths. Panasonic is the only manufacturer of low-end or mid-end downlights for mass-market use. The price per piece is 25 Yuan. Initially, the outer shell of this downlight was made entirely out of plastic due to its cost.
At the mid- to low-end price range, NVC offers the most abundant selection of downlight styles.
OP
NVC and Opple are both leading companies in the local lighting industry. Their home decoration products follow the route of catching up with trends, pursuing popular models, and lowering prices based on iterations of the original versions. According to the "500 Most Valuable Brands" analysis report released by the World Brand Laboratory in 2021, NVC once again won the championship with a brand value of 43.687 billion yuan. This is the 10th consecutive year.
NVC's early experience in home photography was not as deep as Opple's. But after 2015, it made a big move into home furnishing and deployed e-commerce channels. NVC has won the Double 11 sales championship for lighting fixtures in 2020 on four major platforms: Tmall JD.com Suning and Vipshop. It is now an ecommerce powerhouse comparable to Opple.
Opple is not as unique as NVC's Downlight products.

Why buy branded downlights?
I think that this is a matter in which I have a voice. I have been dealing with lighting fixtures for more than ten years and have a relatively rational understanding of lighting fixtures.
Recently, I have evaluated many downlights and spotlights, including the main models from mainstream brands such as Opple, NVC, FSL, Panasonic, Seaton, Philips, yeelight, West Rail, and Qiyi. There are hundreds of miscellaneous and Internet celebrity brands, as well as a few other brands.
Let's first talk about some major differences between mainstream brand of downlights and other brands.
When comparing a brand with another brand of the same price range, it will lose in all aspects, including appearance.
The brand failed to compare brightness at the same power level.
The brand is the winner in terms of quality and core accessories.
What does it mean? Sit down and listen.
Weight and Feel:
The brand's lamps are focused on the right thing. It's not that they are reluctant to use materials, but that excess piles of materials are meaningless. X-brand lights rely on the appearance of their lamps to draw attention. This is the most common way. These tricks can be played in front of novices, but they rely on piles of materials. The days of dominating the market have long passed.
high brightness:
We will choose the brighter lamps if the power is equal. There is no price increase for brightness, and retailers also use this method to save energy and brighten lamps.
We only know that, but don't understand why. The high-brightness of the lamps is at the cost of an accelerated light decay. It's not that the brand's lamps don't work, but The brand of downlights you bought this year will still be the same in three years. Lamps with high brightness can lose their brightness after two years.
Friends who are paying attention should have discovered that the luminous efficiency of mainstream brand downlights is basically maintained at 70-80lm/w, while many Internet celebrity brands have achieved more than 100lm/W.
The core accessories and processing:
The gap between the internal workmanship of the lamps was so large that I was stunned when I wrote my answer. I did not have my phone and I could not see the detailed display.
Not only good accessories can make a good lamp, but craftsmanship also plays an important role. The image below shows how to remove the power supply from the The brand downlights.
You can see the core components of big brands clearly.
It's also worth noting that when you use downlights to light your home there is no reason to intentionally pursue deep anti glare because the beam angles of deep anti glare downlights are relatively small. The light source must be combined with other light sources to avoid the appearance of a bright sky and a dark ground.
Most commonly 50-70deg. The light spot that extends from the ceiling down to the floor in a commercial building of about 2.7M height is similar to this.
The distance between walls in the example of a downlight shown above is 1M.
This type of downlight has a problem called "darkness at the top". If the ceiling does not have enough fill light, it needs to be used with caution when used for basic lighting.
2.How to buy downlights?
The more expensive downlights are better, but is this really true? Yes, it is true.
We may have missed an important question: Is it really useful to you?
Although Lambo is awesome, there is still a certain gap between its performance and Wuling Hongguang's performance.
Don't waste your money. Downlights worth tens of yuan are completely sufficient for home lighting.
The simplest configuration is:
- No video flash (basically as standard).
- Generally, CRI Ra>80, R9>0
- Color tolerance less than 7SDCM
- Range RG/Rf80 to 100
- Service life. The service life of downlights of compliant brands will basically be 5 years +
For this reference value, familiar brands can basically meet the standard. Prices for brands like Philips and Panasonic start at around 10 yuan.
