LED downlights are a discrete, low energy lighting solution. At Downlights.co.uk we only stock the very best lighting brands in the business.
LED technology was originally designed as a low energy alternative to replace incandescent, fluorescent and halogen. With most of these lamp options now banned altogether in the EU. LED remains the only viable lighting option,. It's become so good, that their doesn't really need to be anything else.
At Downlights.co.uk we offer a large selection of GU10 and integrated LED downlights from the UK's leading brands. We offer expert advice and can help you choose the best options for your project.
Which Downlight?
LED lighting technology has certainly slowed down in recent years. Manufacturers have almost reached a peak in what they can improve on, certainly in terms of efficiency. The biggest improvements for premium downlights brands like Aurora, Collingwood and JCC Lighting is that they come with superior wiring connectors and colour temperature switching capabilities.
While maintaining a competitive pricing point, these manufacturers are able to offer something more, something better than the rest.
If you can't decide which recessed downlight to choose or if you would like to know more about LED downlights, check out our very latest Downlight Guide which explains some of the key terminologies and phrases used within the lighting industry. Comparing the UK's market leading brands and the latest technology they feature.
Extensive Selection
Our extensive product range of ceiling downlights includes many variations of styles and types such as fixed, adjustable, trim-less (plaster-in), bathroom rated and many more. The next generation of downlights that are gradually taking over are smart downlights which can be controlled from a smart phone.
They have many additional features, no longer are you restricted to switching and dimming, you can now change colours or colour temperatures to meet the demands of your lighting environment at any point of the day.
As mentioned in our guide, one of five golden rules is about connectivity which should be a key decision when making your choice. Cheap, older downlights have very basic screw terminal connectors that take longer to wire. While new modern downlights such as the Aurora MPRO, Collingwood H2 Pro and JCC V50 come with a high quality wiring connector. You wire one part of the connector into your ceiling by looping cables in and out when you're doing the 'first fix'. Then plug the corresponding connector in when your ready for the 'second fix'. The corresponding connector is wired into the downlight allowing for a plug & play system.
These types of wiring connectors are even more advantageous with integrated LED downlights, because if they do eventually ever fail you can simply disconnect them from the ceiling. Then reconnect a new one without having to rewire or get an electrician involved - just like changing a GU10 lamp.

Dimmable refers to the ability to adjust a light's brightness to create the desired ambiance or save energy. Some LEDs lamps and downlights aren't dimmable. Dimmable LEDs require an LED compatible dimmer switch.
Every light source from an LED to a simple wax candle has a beam angle. A beam angle is a measurement of how the light is distributed. GU10 LEDs and recessed downlights have a fairly narrow beam of around 40 degrees, anything within 5 degrees is classed as a medium beam.
A wax candle or traditional light bulb would have a beam angle of 360 degrees as the light shines all the way around but is less intense.
Combing brighter downlights with wider 60 degree beams allows you to space them out further, reducing the total amount of lights needed.
More information about beam angles.
We cater for a wide range of cut out sizes from the infinitesimally tiny to the big ginormous.
If you're replacing existing downlights, its best to measure the existing hole sizes and ensure your new downlights will fit.
We also stock hole converter plates for oversized holes.
If you're replacing existing downlights, its best to measure the existing hole sizes and ensure your new downlights will fit.
Check the dimensions tab within the product listing for the exact hole size of each downlight.
Colour temperature is a measurement of appearance. Measured in Kelvins, the lower the rating, the warmer the light appears. Choosing the right temperature can have a dramatic effect on a room.
2700K - Extra Warm White
Similar to a traditional incandescent light bulb or halogen. It has a more orange and warmer tone, with a ‘soft white’ appearance. Ideal for living rooms.
3000K - Warm White
Clearer, but still quite warm. This is the ‘new norm’ for general lighting and is the most popular option. If you’re unsure I’d recommend trying this one.
4000K - Cool White
Clearer, whiter and crisp; used in commercial locations including supermarkets. Cool white appears brighter than warm white as the LED is covered in less phosphor. It can make a room appear cold and clinical but used correctly (white walls etc) it can make a room appear cleaner and modern.
More information about colour temperatures.
Light bulbs (LED lamps) come with different cap types, which determine their compatibility with various fittings. We have more information about cap types here.
The sub-brand of a manufacturer that groups collections of products together.
CRI stands for Colour Rendering Index. It is a measurement of how well a light source can render the true colour of an object compared to natural light.
Rated out of 100, with an open flame or sunlight being a perfect 100. A light with 90 CRI and above would be classed as having high CRI, while 80 CRI is the standard for LEDs.
Warm white, cool white, what ever you prefer. More info about colour temperatures here.
Recessed downlights are available in different types such as fixed, adjustable and bathroom (IP65).
Fixed downlights shine the light directly downards. Adjustable downlights allow you to redirect the angle of light onto a specific object or area.
IP65 downlights are water resistant and suitable for use in bathroom zones 1 & 2. Most integrated LED downlights are IP65 rated as standard. This means they can be used anywhere including kitchens and living rooms etc.
Fixed GU10 downlights don't offer any resistance to water, their IP rating is usually IP20. They have no seal and cost less.
Wattage is the unit used to measure the rate of energy transfer or power consumption in an electrical circuit or device.
Selecting the appropriate color or finish for your lights and switches is key to creating a unified and attractive interior. Aim to match the finish of your downlights with other elements like switches and sockets. The matt white finish is especially popular for downlights as it seamlessly merges with white ceilings. More info here.
Fire-rated downlights are engineered to maintain a ceiling's fire resistance, safeguarding against the spread of fire through openings needed for these recessed light fittings. More info here.
AC standards for alternating current and DC standards for direct current.
Mains voltage is 230V AC and has a tolerance of 10%, some products are 220V or 240V AC which means they can be classed as mains voltage.
DC voltages usually require an LED driver to convert the mains voltage AC into low voltage DC. Popular DC voltages are 12V or 24V DC.
IP (International or Ingress Protection) defines a products level of resistance to dust and moisture. The first digit is for dust and the second digit is for moisture.
Anything higher than IP44 can be used in bathroom zones 1 and 2. IP44 is splash proof and resistance to particles larger than 1mm.
An IP65 rating offers a higher resistance to moisture and is generally used outdoors. IP65 is usually specified for bathroom downlights but according to the Building Regulations, IP44 provides adequate protection.
An IP68 rating is fully water resistant and can be submersed in water, up to 1M in depth.
