Recessed Downlights

Recessed downlights, sometimes called integrated ceiling lights, come in a variety of styles, finishes and types, so it’s important you select the right ones for the job. Downlights are commonly bright, functional and decorative lighting that always provide attractive ambient areas of light.

Integrated ceiling lights are increasingly popular and for good reason, especially in kitchens, bathrooms or any minimalist environment. If chosen and installed in the correct numbers, downlights are capable of giving a gentle, even and shadow free light. You can also save a great deal of energy by choosing LED bulbs or dedicated LED downlights.

There are many different types of recessed fittings available, including fixed, gimbal, eyeball, wall washer, IP rated and fire rated recessed lights. 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.

Some need to be fire rated in certain situations in order to comply with current building regulations. Available in mains voltage or LED and in IP65 rating, they are available in a multitude of finishes. In addition to the different types, styles and finishes, you can choose between mains voltage and LED fitments.
