Underwater lamp and buried light are widely used underwater lighting products, and many customers will be a little confused when choosing.
Let’s find out what is the difference between them.
Buried LED lights and underwater LED lights look similar, so many people confuse them.
In fact, they are kind of like twins, although they look alike, they also have differences.
LED underground lights and LED underwater lights, their uses are very different.
Difference of Underwater Lamp & Buried Light
Different Materials
The material of LED buried light is generally stainless steel polished panel shell, small size, good heat dissipation, high-quality waterproof joint, silicone sealing ring;
The material of LED underwater lamp is generally stainless steel panel, aluminum light body, strong corrosion resistance, strong impact resistance, and good impact resistance. The round shape resembles a roof design.
Difference In Protection Level
The protection level of Led buried light should reach IP65 or above,
The protection level of Led underwater lamp must be above IP68.
Different Applications
LED buried light are often used in parks, squares, flower beds, streets and other places for night lighting;
LED underwater lamp are often used in swimming pools, fountains, landscape pools, lakes, boats, yachts, aquariums, and other lighting projects.
Underwater lights just refer to lights installed underwater, which are small and exquisite in shape and beautiful in appearance.
The shape is similar to some dark lights, but there are more installation chassis, and the chassis is fixed with screws.
Underwater lights are generally LED light sources, which have the characteristics of energy saving, environmental protection, long life and small size.
When it’s powered on, it can emit a variety of monochrome, RGB, etc. colors.
Material
Generally made of stainless steel and glass: stainless steel is divided into 202, 304, 316, etc., different grades of stainless steel are used on different occasions;
There are currently two main production processes for stainless steel lamp bodies of underwater lamps:
Drawing die (generally the lamp is thinner and lighter, the production cycle is short, and the cost is low)
Silica sol dewaxing (generally the lamp is heavier and thicker, the production cycle is slow, and the cost is high)
Some high-end lamps are made of copper, and 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 a waterproof performance.
In conclusion, although there are similarities between lamps, the general purpose is different and the names are different.
The use is the most important, and the choice of lamps should be based on the power, color, location, quality, price, etc. used to choose the most suitable one.
