Kitchen Downlights

If you’re looking for barely there lighting for your kitchen and you’ve ended up here… well you’ve managed to find your way to the right place! Kitchen downlights are a subtle lighting option that’s recessed into the ceiling. And yes, before you ask, we do have a blog all about recessed kitchen lighting that’ll help you plan what you need and where you need it. If you’re not sure how you got here but you’ve not settled on kitchen ceiling downlights yet then why not hope over to the more general kitchen lighting selection we’ve got on offer and just browse around whilst you work it out.

Wow, we’re kind of really good at anticipating your needs.

The main benefits of downlights for your kitchen ceiling are the flexibility they offer when lighting your space. No matter the size or layout of your kitchen, you can sprinkle LED downlights throughout it for maximum light span. They don’t impede into the space at all, which is perfect for the minimalists among us or those who have more décor-centric light fixtures they want to put in that might not do the job of lighting up every nook and cranny adequately.

We can't find products matching the selection.

Types of Kitchen Downlights

For your kitchen – LED downlights are without a doubt the ones to go for.

Energy saving, money saving, the option of warm or cool white. Beyond that there’s the safety aspect of LED downlights, they generate way less heat than traditional halogen bulbs which is of particular importance with recessed lighting.

Beyond just LED or halogen, there’s still a wide variety of downlight types to choose from. Of course the decision couldn’t be as simple as to LED or not LED!

Kicking off the parade of downlight types is (drumroll, please):

- LED Downlights

- Fire Rated Downlights

o These are a smart option for any house, fire rated downlights are fitted with a material called an intumescent pad that swells up if it gets too hot. This seals the hole in the ceiling that the downlight sits in too slow the spread of fire from that room to the ones above. Can’t go wrong, really.

- Tilted Downlights

o If you were considering kitchen spotlights for that added control to shine the light wherever you please but… in the end… recessing your lighting won, then tilted downlights are that sweet spot. You don’t have quite as much freedom of direction as you do with spotlights but you have all of the convenience and sleekness of recessed lighting.

- Mounted Downlights

o If you’ve made it this far and you’re wondering where the downlights for those who don’t want to recess their lighting is… we couldn’t possibly have forgotten about you! Don’t worry. Mounted downlights are the trick we’ve been keeping up our sleeve for you. The perfect answer to downlights for those who have no cavity space in their ceilings as they sit on the surface but provide that same minimalist effect and still offer the freedom to install them in a pattern specific to your needs.

- Fixed Downlights

o These are probably what you think of when you think of downlights. You install them in the ceiling, they point down. Job’s a gooden!

- IP Rated Downlights

o If you’re looking to install downlights in an outdoor space or a bathroom, we seriously urge you to check the IP rating. You don’t want all that steam from your lovely bath rising and messing up your lighting or wreaking havoc with your electrics. Trust us on this one. If you’re wondering what an IP rating is and why you need something you’ve never heard of – don’t worry, you’re not alone on this one and we’ve got all of the answers right here in our blog on IP ratings.

Key Features of Kitchen Downlights

Um, how about being super stylish? Cause that’s probably the first thing you notice about our fabulous downlights.

No, but seriously, we’ve got a whole load of designs that’ll slot seamlessly into whatever style you’ve leant towards in your home. One of the reasons we’re so able to do that is because of how low key recessed downlights are. You’ve got a load of finishes to choose from, a ton of colours waiting to be picked, but ultimately downlights are all about the light. This means you’ve still got all of that opportunity to express your style with more extravagant (or equally minimal) lighting fixtures that serve more of a decorative purpose.

We know that we harp on about the benefits of LED, but the energy saving, money saving and effort saving that they provide is something to note.

You’d be hard pressed to not notice the quality of our downlights. Because how can something be good value if it’s not good quality? And you know we don’t mess around with value.

So, expect high quality materials, durability and a long lasting (and reliable) performance from any downlights we hook you up with. Not to mention, we’re confident enough about our products to offer a 12-month warranty on every product from the date it lands on your doorstep.

Choosing the Right Downlights

Only you know what you need from your lights, and now you have the information to make this all important decision.

Just try to keep in mind the size and layout of your kitchen. The purpose of the lighting you’re bringing in – are you after task, accent or general lighting? Hold true to the style you’re bringing into the space or enhancing and don’t forget that brightness and adjustability is a major player in how well your lighting will work for you.

However, if you’re still unsure then our customer service team actually cannot get enough of helping out in situations just like this. So, reach out to our lighting experts and we can get the ball rolling on your dream kitchen downlights.
