LED downlights are designed to sit flush with the ceiling, creating a discreet lighting feature.
They come in a range of options, including different beam angles (narrow for focused light or wide for ambient light), sizes, and colour temperatures, and can be installed in homes and offices.
Some LED downlights have dimmable options, but not all.
Before buying, it’s best to check the features of each lighting feature.
The size of the ceiling cutout and the desired level of lighting in the room will determine which LED downlight is appropriate for you.
The cutout size refers to the hole in the ceiling where the downlight will be installed. For most domestic settings, common cutout sizes range from 75mm to 100mm.
LED downlights can be installed as a DIY project. However, it’s best to only do so if you have previous experience in the field.
We always advise contacting a qualified electrician for the installation, especially in the UK, where electrical work must comply with safety and building regulations.
This will help you avoid electrical hazards, such as short circuits or fire risks.
Low-voltage LED downlights (usually 12V) need a transformer to convert the mains voltage (230V in the UK) to the lower voltage required.
Some LED downlights are designed to be mains-powered (230V) and do not need a transformer, simplifying installation.
Yes, LED downlights can be installed in bathrooms, but they must meet specific safety standards due to the presence of moisture.
For bathroom lighting, a minimum rating of IP44 is recommended for areas where water spray is possible, such as near sinks or shower areas.
An IP65 rating is required for areas with more water exposure, such as directly above a shower, to ensure safety and long-lasting performance.
LED downlights are known for their longevity, with typical life spans ranging from 25,000 to 50,000 hours.
If a light is used for an average of 5 hours a day, it could last for over 13 years at 25,000 hours.
