The difference between underground lights and underwater lights

Apr 13, 2021

Buried LED lights and underwater LED lights look very similar, so many people confuse them. In fact, they are a bit like twins. Although they look alike, they also have differences. For LED buried lights and LED underwater lights, their uses are very different.


Different materials: LED underground lights are generally made of stainless steel polished panel shell, small size, good heat dissipation, high-quality waterproof joints, silicone sealing ring; LED underwater lights are generally made of stainless steel panel, aluminum body, strong corrosion resistance, anti-corrosion Strong impact, and has good impact resistance. Roof design.


There are differences in the protection level: the protection level of the LED underground light should reach IP65 or above, and the protection level of the LED underwater light must be above IP68.


Different applications: LED buried lights are often used in parks, squares, flower beds, streets and other places for night lighting; LED underwater lights are often used in lighting projects such as swimming pools, fountains, and aquariums.


Underwater lights only refer to lights that are installed underwater. The shape is small and exquisite, beautiful and generous. The shape is similar to some dark lights, but there are many installation chassis. The chassis is fixed with screws. Underwater lights are generally LED light sources, which are energy-saving. . Environmental protection, long life, small size, etc. When it is energized, it can emit a variety of colors, colorful, usually installed in parks or fountain pools. It is very ornamental.


Material: generally made of stainless steel and glass: stainless steel is divided into 202, 304, 316, etc., and different grades of stainless steel are used in different occasions; there are currently two main production processes for underwater lamp stainless steel lamp body: die (generally the lamp is thinner, Lighter, the production cycle is fa) low cost), silica sol dewaxing (generally the lamp is heavier and thicker, the production cycle is slow, and the cost is higher). Some high-end lamps are made of copper, of course, some low-end lamps are made of zinc alloy, resin grouting, tempered glass, etc. Stainless steel has good rust resistance, and resin has water resistance.


In short, although there are similarities between the lamps, the general purpose is different and the name is different. Use is the most important, the choice of lamps should be based on the choice of use, in order to choose the most suitable.
