What is ambient lighting?

Ambient lighting is a kind of decorative lighting equipment, mainly used to create a specific atmosphere or emotional experience. ‌Color, brightness, switches, etc. can be adjusted through smart control. It is widely used in theme parks, vehicles, hotels, homes, exhibitions, commercial and art lighting and other fields to create the atmosphere needed for people's lives.

The main material of the ambient light is LED, that is, light-emitting diode. Its five major raw materials are: chips, brackets, silver glue, gold wire, and epoxy resin. The main working principle is: LED is a solid-state semiconductor device that can directly convert electricity into light. Its core part is a wafer composed of P-type semiconductor and N-type semiconductor. There is a transition layer between P-type semiconductor and N-type semiconductor, called PN junction. In the PN junction of some semiconductor materials, when the injected minority carriers recombine with the majority carriers, the excess energy is released in the form of light, thereby directly converting electrical energy into light energy. When a reverse voltage is applied to the PN junction, minority carriers are difficult to inject and therefore do not emit light. This type of diode made using the principle of injected electroluminescence is called a light-emitting diode, commonly known as LED.

When in the forward working state (that is, forward voltage is applied to both ends), when the current flows from the LED anode to the cathode, the semiconductor crystal emits light of different colors from ultraviolet to infrared. The intensity of light is related to the current. This is the principle of LED lighting. The wavelength of light, that is, the color of light, is determined by the material forming the PN junction. Ambient light can achieve a variety of color changes, forming various combinations of different light colors and achieving colorful and dynamic changes.

2. Classification of ambient lights:

‌1. Classification by color‌:

‌Single-color ambient light‌: The color of this kind of ambient light is fixed and cannot be changed, so it is relatively rarely installed in modern vehicles.

‌Home Ambience Light‌: Used in home environments to increase the beauty and comfort of the home. For example, the desk chandelier in the horizontal hall space and the hollow part of the bookshelf are equipped with ambient lights to increase the warmth of the space.

‌Outdoor camping atmosphere light‌: Used for outdoor activities, such as camping, picnics, etc., providing soft light and creating a comfortable atmosphere. Common ones include string lights, small orange lights, etc. Brightness and battery life are not important. What is important is that they are beautiful in shape and can create a comfortable environment.

‌3 Classification by technology‌:

‌‌RGB Ambient Light‌: RGB refers to the combination of three colors: red, green, and blue. RGB ambient lights can produce various color changes and can be adjusted through mobile APP or remote control.

‌‌White Ambient Light‌: Usually used for lighting, the brightness can be adjusted as needed.

‌Colored Ambience Light‌: Includes a variety of colors, such as red, green, blue, purple, etc., which can be selected according to personal preferences.

‌Mixed Color Ambient Light‌: Can display multiple colors at the same time, creating a more colorful environment.

4 ‌Classification by form‌:

‌Point luminous atmosphere light‌: emits light in the form of points and is often used for local lighting and decoration.

‌Line-emitting ambient light‌: emits light in a linear form, suitable for decoration and lighting of long spaces.

‌Surface-emitting ambient light‌: It emits light over a large area, with changeable patterns and stunning display effects. It is often used for decoration and lighting on dashboards, door panels, ceilings, and central passages.

These classification methods can help users choose suitable ambient lights according to their own needs. Whether it is to create a specific atmosphere, provide lighting or for beautiful decoration, there are corresponding ambient lights to choose from.
