LED Downlights are a versatile lighting solution for both domestic and commercial use. They use less energy when compared to conventional lighting, such as halogen or incandescent light bulbs. They are more durable and are much longer lasting making them a more sustainable lighting solution for homes and businesses.
In the home LED downlights can be used in most rooms including the kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom. We can supply the downlight fitting on its own and attach an LED spotlight bulb like an LED GU10 or an LED MR16. We also have Smart LED Downlights which can be wirelessly controlled using an app or by voice using Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple HomeKit.
Commercially LED Downlights are especially popular in retail as they can be recessed into the ceiling and not affect the store’s displays and provided you are using a product with a high colour rendering actually enhance the displays. They are also frequently used in many business premises as they comply with fire rating regulations and come as IP65 rated in industries affected by condensation.
What are the benefits of LED Downlights?
- LED Downlights use up to 90% less energy when compared to Halogen or Incandescent lighting, so will significantly reduce lighting costs. For example, a 7-watt LED Downlight will replace a 50-watt halogen equivalent and provide a better light output for a fraction of the energy consumption.
- LED Downlights last up to 25 times longer than conventional lighting which can help in reducing maintenance costs as they require less frequent replacement due to failure.
- LED light bulbs provide instant light with no warm-up time, unlike fluorescent lighting which can take up to a minute to get to full brightness.
- LEDs contain no harmful gases unlike their halogen or fluorescent counterparts, so are more environmentally friendly.
- LED light bulbs do not emit heat so are ideal for use in food displays or in areas with colour sensitivity such as art displays or exhibitions.
