Downlights

Recessed Downlights

Today there is a vast array of different types of recessed downlights to choose from. Fire rated downlights are now more and more widely used, as building regulations require them in certain situations. Low voltage and mains voltage downlights are here 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, downlights 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 mains voltage down lights fitted with high spot LED lamps.

There are now dedicated LED downlights that perform every bit as well as a conventional downlight. The initial outlay is more but the savings over time are considerable.

There are many different types of recessed downlight available, including fixed, gimbal, eyeball, wall washer, IP rated and fire rated downlights. Although similar in appearance, each type of downlight performs a slightly different function. In addition to the different types of downlights, 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.
