In shortDownlights give clean, even light without cluttering the ceiling, but only if they're planned properly. We work out the layout with you so light falls where you need it, not in a grid across the middle of the room, then fit LED downlights with the right fire rating, the right IP rating in bathrooms, and dimmers that are compatible with the lamps.
What's included
- Planning the layout and spacing with you, room by room
- Fire-rated downlights where the ceiling needs them
- IP-rated fittings in bathrooms and over showers
- Dimmable LED downlights with compatible dimmers
- Swapping old halogen downlights for LED
When you might need it
- You're renovating a kitchen, bathroom or living room
- Your ceiling light leaves the corners of the room dark
- Your old halogen downlights run hot or keep blowing
- Your LED downlights flicker or buzz on the dimmer

Downlight Installation: common questions
Do downlights need to be fire-rated?
Where a downlight goes through a ceiling that's part of the fire separation between floors, such as under a bedroom or in a flat, it should be fire-rated so it doesn't create a weak point. We check each ceiling and fit the right type.
Why do my LED downlights flicker?
Usually because the dimmer isn't compatible with the lamps or drivers. Choosing fittings and dimmers designed to work together normally fixes it.
How many downlights do I need?
It depends on the room, the ceiling height and what you use the room for. We plan the layout around where you need light, rather than filling the ceiling with a grid.
Can you replace halogen downlights with LED?
Usually, yes. We check the existing fittings and transformers first, and replace them where needed so the new LEDs work properly.
