Seven, according to the light flux classification
Luminous flux refers to the radiant power that the human eye can perceive, which is equal to the product of the radiation of a certain band per unit time and the relative visibility of the band. Since the relative visibility of the human eye to different wavelengths of light is different, when the radiant power of different wavelengths of light is equal, the luminous flux is not equal.

direct type
More than 90% of the luminous flux is directly irradiated downward, with high efficiency, but there is almost no luminous flux in the upper half of the lamp, and the strong directionality leads to thicker shadows.
semi-direct
This type of lamp has 60%-90% of the luminous flux to the lower hemisphere space, and a small part is directed upward. The upward component will reduce the hardness of the shadow produced by the lighting environment and the brightness ratio of its surfaces.
indirect
The luminous flux of the lamps is less than 10% downward, and its luminous flux utilization rate is relatively low. Due to the small light flux, under the premise of reasonable arrangement, the direct glare and reflected glare are very small, and a soft and shadow-free lighting effect can be achieved.
semi-indirect
The downward luminous flux of lamps accounts for 10%-40%, mainly used as architectural decorative lighting. Since most of the light is cast to the ceiling and upper walls, the indirect light in the interior is increased, and the light is softer and more pleasant.
Diffuse
The luminous flux of lamps up and down is almost the same (about 40%-60% each), the common one is the opalescent glass spherical lampshade, and other closed lampshades of various shapes that diffuse and transmit light also have similar light distribution. This luminaire casts light evenly in all directions, so the utilization of light flux is low.
8. Classification according to the protection level of the shell
According to the national standard GB 7000.1-2015, the protection levels of lamps are as follows:
1. Prevent people from touching or approaching live parts and moving parts (except smooth rotating shafts and similar parts) inside the enclosure, and prevent solid foreign objects from entering the inside of the equipment.
2. Prevent the equipment in the enclosure from reaching a harmful level due to water entering the interior.
The code indicating the protection level usually consists of the characteristic letter IP followed by two numbers ("characteristic numbers"). The meanings of the characteristic numbers are shown in the table below. One characteristic number refers to the degree of protection mentioned in a) above, and two numbers refer to the degree of protection mentioned in b) above.
