Downlights
Recessed Down lights
Today there is a vast array of different types of recessed downlights to choose from. Many applications require them to be fire rated in certain situations due to building regulations. Available in mains or low voltage and in IP65 they are available in many finishes.
Recessed downlights are becoming increasingly popular and for good reason, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. If chosen and installed in the correct numbers, they are capable of giving a gentle, even and shadow free light. It is also possible to save a great deal of energy if you choose them in mains voltage fitted with high spot LED lamps.
There are now dedicated LED down lights that perform every bit as well as their conventional halogen counterpart. The initial outlay is more but the savings over time are considerable, with total cost recovery within two years a reality.
There are many different types available, including fixed, gimbal, eyeball, wall washer, IP rated and fire rated downlights. Although similar in appearance, each type performs a slightly different function. In addition to the different types, they are available in a multitude of different finishes to complement your decor.
In addition to the different types, styles and finished you can choose between low voltage, mains voltage and LED downlights. To assist you in making an informed choice, please see our lighting information page, where you will find an article entitled Recessed Downlights Explained.
