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 holds a dominant position in the industry of lighting. 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 are all the most common entry-level models. Among them, the PBT plastic case Canfang series starts at 9 yuan/piece, and the aluminum case Yifang series starts at 35 yuan/piece. Both models have excellent heat dissipation, and the light source quality and workmanship are comparable to those of Philips. The IP44 waterproof series is comparable to each other. The light-emitting surfaces can stop water splashing and dripping. It is very suitable for use in kitchens and bathrooms. Among low-end and mid-end mass-market downlights, only Panasonic has them; the price is 25 yuan/piece. At first, due to cost constraints, its outer shell was also fully plastic.
At the mid- to low-end price range, NVC offers the most abundant selection of downlight styles.
OP
NVC and Opple both have a leading position in the local lighting market. 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. NVC won the title of “500 Most Valuable Brands”, according to an analysis report by the World Brand Laboratory published in 2021. The brand value was 43.687 billion Yuan. This is the tenth consecutive year.
NVC’s experience in the field of home photography is not as extensive as Opple. After 2015, the company made a major move into home furnishings and launched 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. Of course, there are also so-called Internet celebrity brands and miscellaneous brands on the Internet, let’s say hundreds of them at least.
First, let’s talk about the major differences between the mainstream brand and other brands of downlights.
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 this mean? Sit down and listen.
Weight and feel:
What the brand’s lamps focus on is just right. 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 are easy to perform in front of beginners, but require a lot of material. The days of winning the market are long gone.
high brightness:
If the power is the same, we will subconsciously choose lamps with higher brightness. Anyway, there is no increase in price for brightening, and high brightness and energy saving are also one of the most commonly used methods by merchants.
But we only know it, but we don’t know why. High-brightness lamps basically come at the expense of accelerating light decay. The lamps of the brand you purchased this year are still the same after three years. Lamps with high brightness can lose their brightness after two years.
Many Internet celebrities have achieved luminous efficiency levels of more than 100lm/W.
Core accessories and process 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 is also worth mentioning that when using downlights for home lighting, there is no need to deliberately pursue deep anti-glare, because the beam angle of deep anti-glare downlights is relatively small. The light source must be combined with other light sources to avoid the appearance of a bright sky and a dark ground.
Mostly 50-70deg. In a commercial building with a floor height of about 2.7M, the light spot from the ceiling to the ground is roughly like this.
The distance between walls in the example of a downlight shown above is 1M.
The most common problem with this type of downlight is “darkness in the sky”. If the ceiling does not have enough fill light, it needs to be used with caution when used for basic lighting.
How to purchase 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. Home lighting can be done with downlights that cost tens or hundreds of yuan.
The simplest configuration is:
- No video flash (basically equipped as standard)
- CRI Ra>80 and R9>0 are generally acceptable.
- Color tolerance less than 7SDCM
- Range RG/Rf80 to 100
- Service life. Service life.
For this reference value, familiar brands can basically meet the standard. Prices for brands like Philips and Panasonic start at around 10 yuan.
