Choosing the right downlights

A good downlight scheme comes down to a few decisions: how the light is aimed, how far apart the fixtures sit, the cut-out your ceiling can take, and the colour and quality of the light. Get these right and a room feels evenly lit without hotspots or glare.

Fixed, adjustable and gimbal

Fixed downlights aim straight down for general lighting, while adjustable and gimbal downlights tilt to wash a wall or highlight art, joinery and features. A mix of both gives a layered, flexible scheme.

Beam angle and spacing

A narrow beam (around 24 degrees) creates focused pools of light for accents, while a wide beam (60 degrees or more) gives broad, even coverage. As a rough guide, space downlights about 1 to 1.5 metres apart and keep them roughly 0.6 to 1 metre away from walls for balanced light.

Cut-out size and ceiling type

Check the cut-out diameter against your ceiling before ordering — common sizes run from around 68mm up to 150mm. Recessed models suit false and gypsum ceilings, while surface-mounted downlights work on concrete or wherever there is no ceiling void.

Colour temperature, CRI and dimming

Warm white (3000K) suits homes and hospitality, neutral white (4000K) suits kitchens, offices and retail, and a CRI of 80 or more keeps colours looking natural (90 or more for retail and galleries). Many of our downlights are dimmable with a compatible driver.

Bathrooms and wet areas

For bathrooms, showers and covered outdoor soffits, choose IP-rated downlights — IP44 or higher for general bathroom use and IP65 directly over a shower — to keep moisture out and stay compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a downlight and where is it used?

A downlight is a recessed or surface fixture that directs light downward from the ceiling. Downlights are used for general, task and accent lighting in homes, offices, hotels, retail and hospitality, giving a clean, uncluttered ceiling.

What is the difference between fixed and adjustable (gimbal) downlights?

Fixed downlights point straight down for even general lighting, while adjustable or gimbal downlights tilt and rotate so you can aim light at a wall, artwork or feature. Many schemes use fixed units for coverage and adjustable ones for accents.

How many downlights do I need for a room?

It depends on room size, ceiling height and the output of each fixture. As a rough starting point, allow one downlight for roughly every 1 to 1.5 square metres of floor for even general lighting. Send us your room sizes and we will calculate the right quantity.

How far apart should downlights be spaced?

A common guide is to space downlights about 1 to 1.5 metres apart and keep them around 0.6 to 1 metre from the walls, adjusting for ceiling height and beam angle to avoid dark patches or hotspots.

What cut-out size do I need for a downlight?

The cut-out is the hole the fixture drops into, usually stated in millimetres. Common sizes range from about 68mm to 150mm. Always match the cut-out to the product and your ceiling before ordering, and we can confirm the size for any model.

What is the difference between COB and SMD downlights?

COB (chip-on-board) downlights produce a single, focused, high-quality beam that is great for accenting, while SMD (surface-mounted diode) downlights spread light more widely and softly. We can recommend the right type for your application.

What colour temperature is best for downlights?

Warm white (3000K) suits living rooms, bedrooms and hospitality, neutral white (4000K) suits kitchens, offices and retail, and cool white (5000K and above) suits task and utility areas. Tri-colour downlights that switch between settings are also available.

Are your downlights dimmable?

Many of our downlights are dimmable when paired with a compatible dimmer and driver. Tell us your setup and we will recommend dimmable models and the right controls.

Which downlights are safe for bathrooms and wet areas?

Use IP-rated downlights in bathrooms and wet areas — IP44 or higher for general use and IP65 directly above a shower — so they resist moisture and meet safety requirements.

Do you supply downlights in bulk for projects?

Yes. We supply recessed and surface downlights in bulk at project and trade pricing for contractors, fit-out firms and interior designers across Dubai and the UAE. Share your BOQ or drawings for a quote with lead times.

Do your downlights come with a warranty?

Most of our LED downlights carry a manufacturer warranty, typically one to three years depending on the range, and we can provide datasheets and certificates for consultant approval.
