LED-Downlights

Downlights enjoy great popularity - and that's no wonder, as the luminaires offer a wide range of application and design options. Depending on the model, you can use the recessed luminaires to create bright ambient lighting as well as targeted accent lighting - in a wide variety of applications.

Application areas for recessed downlights 

Due to the variety of shapes, designs and sizes of downlights, there are countless application possibilities. Thus, recessed spotlights are ideal for decorative home lighting or targeted lighting of design objects. In retail, for example, the small recessed spotlights are ideal for setting the scene for products. But the flexible recessed ceiling luminaires also provide bright general lighting in corridors or entrance areas, as well as offices or meeting rooms. In all applications, pay attention to the right color temperature. While warm white recessed downlights radiate a cozy atmosphere, your choice in offices or conference rooms should be neutral white light that promotes concentration.

Why recessed ceiling lights with LED? 

Especially if you decide to use ceiling spots with pre-installed illuminants, it is advisable to choose LED. Modern LED technology scores not only with the highest efficiency. Especially because of the long life and maintenance-free LEDs you will enjoy your lights for a long time. LEDs now come with practical additional features, such as simple dimmability in brightness and light color, or even smart light sources. Some models can be integrated into your existing smart home system. In addition, LED downlights are usually flatter than their halogen counterparts and generate less heat. Thus, they are suitable for ceilings that offer little space without the risk of excessive heat.

Installation of LED downlights 

Not only because of the installation, the lighting with LED downlights must be planned thoroughly in advance. As a rule, you need more lights for illumination with downlights than with simple ceiling lights. In addition, the installation depth of the new spots must be taken into account before mounting. Ideally, you should plan the positioning and wiring of your lamps during construction. Alternatively, in many cases it is possible to retrofit a suspended ceiling in which the downlights are mounted. 

Tip: Combined with motion detectors, you maximize the comfort and energy efficiency of your ceiling spotlights.

Fixed or swiveling downlights? 

Basically, the positioning of the luminaires should be well planned in advance, since they are installed in the ceiling. Not only the quantity, but also the beam angle plays a decisive role. If you still want a little more flexibility, you can find swiveling LED recessed spotlights. Especially in the decoration area or showrooms, this can be of great advantage. Products and objects can be repositioned at any time and always shine in the best light.
