The difference between polished tubes and raw tubes

I. Definitions of Mirror Tubes and Non-Mirror Tubes

Mirror tubes refer to lighting tubes with a mirror-like reflective coating inside the tube cover, usually made of galvanized steel or aluminum. The lamp cover of mirror tubes is a key factor in their optical design. Through appropriate materials, thickness, and reflectivity, the light is reflected by the mirror, thereby enhancing the brightness of the lamp.

Non-mirror tubes, on the other hand, are lighting tubes without a reflective film. Most of them use transparent tubes or semi-transparent tubes as the illumination material, and are typically used in scenarios requiring softer lighting, such as bedrooms, living rooms, and study rooms.

II. Differences between Mirror Tubes and Non-Mirror Tubes

1. Reflectivity: The inner cover of mirror tubes is covered with a layer of metal reflective film, which can significantly increase the reflectivity and intensity of the light, thus having stronger brightness; while the reflectivity of the lamp cover of non-mirror tubes is lower, and the brightness is relatively weaker.

2. Visual effect: Due to the reflective effect of mirror tubes, the light is more concentrated, so they are suitable for scenarios requiring direct illumination and brighter lighting, such as restaurants and shopping malls; while the visual effect of non-mirror tubes is relatively soft, so they are suitable for scenarios requiring softer lighting, such as bedrooms, living rooms, and study rooms.

3. Safety: Mirror tubes have a reflective property, which can easily cause glare and reflection, requiring special attention to the impact of glare on people's visual health; while non-mirror tubes have a relatively uniform illumination characteristic, visually, they are safer.

III. Applicable Scenarios

Based on the above differences, the following are the common applicable scenarios:

1. Mirror tubes: Suitable for scenarios requiring strong light, direct illumination, and increased brightness, such as restaurants and shopping malls.

2. Non-mirror tubes: Suitable for scenarios requiring soft and uniform lighting, such as bedrooms, living rooms, and study rooms.

[Conclusion]

Mirror tubes and non-mirror tubes are two different types of lighting fixtures, and their optical characteristics make them more suitable for different scenarios. When choosing lighting fixtures, it is necessary to make a reasonable selection based on the scene requirements to achieve better lighting effects.
