Tips for downlights

 

Downlights are the all-purpose lighting fixtures, as they are employed in almost every lighting project as part of a proper lighting strategy. A downlight is typically used to give general lighting in a room. But how do you choose the right LED downlight for your space? There are so many possibilities!

Downlights are versatile light fixtures that can be used for a variety of purposes in the home. Also, they’re an excellent method to divide the room into zones, navigate about it, and emphasize important objects like art. They can be used to give both in-fill and task lighting, such as over a kitchen island. In layered lighting designs, they pair nicely with a variety of different architectural and decorative fixtures.

The higher the ceiling, the further the light source is from the surface to be illuminated, necessitating the use of a specific downlight fixture. The intensity of the light that touches the floor is larger when using a downlight with a tighter beam angle, such as the LED gimbal (40°) downlight than when using a fixed downlight with a broad beam angle (120°).
