Recessed or surface?
A recessed light needs a false ceiling with space above. A surface light fixes on a plain ceiling.
In a false ceiling (recessed)
The light sits inside a hole in the ceiling, so only the face shows. Needs a false ceiling with space above.
On the ceiling (surface)
The light fixes on the ceiling with screws. No hole needed, good for concrete or plaster ceilings.
Office grid ceiling (2x2 / 1x1)
Large square panels that drop into 600 x 600 mm ceiling tiles, or fix on the surface with a frame.
Skylight look
A large panel that looks like daylight coming through a skylight or window. Made for feature ceilings.
How to measure your old hole
Measure the opening in the ceiling in mm, edge to edge, not the rim of the old light.
Round hole
Measure across the centre.
Square hole
Measure one side.
- Switch off the power.
- Ask your electrician to remove the old light.
- Measure the opening edge to edge in mm.
Or skip the hole: a surface light fixes on the ceiling and covers it. Close matches are within 5 mm; check with us before buying.
Slim panel or downlight?
A slim panel lights evenly and costs less. A downlight looks softer from below. Deep anti-glare is best where people look up, such as living rooms.
Slim panel
A thin, flat panel with an even glow across the face. The everyday choice for homes and offices.
Downlight
A deeper fitting with the light set a little back, so it looks softer from below.
Deep anti-glare downlight
The light sits well inside the fitting, so you see the light on the floor, not a bright spot on the ceiling.
Tiltable downlight
Can be angled to light a wall, a painting or a shelf.
Rimless / adjustable-hole panel
No visible frame; some fit a range of hole sizes, handy for replacements.
Trimless
The edge is plastered into the ceiling and disappears. Needs plaster work when fitting.
Full-glow panel
Lights from the face and the sides, so the ceiling around it glows too.
Switch on by itself when someone walks in?
Motion sensors save power where lights are often left on: toilets, stairs, passages, store rooms.
Motion sensor
The light switches on when someone walks in and off after they leave.
Day/night sensor
Stays off in daylight; works only when it is dark.
Low glow when empty
Dims to a low standby glow instead of switching off, then goes full bright when someone comes in.
Room size and wattage
A suggestion only: lights in this wattage rank first and every light stays available. Bigger rooms also need more lights; our team can plan the number for you.
Small (bathroom, passage) · 3–9 W per light
Suggested for small spaces.
Medium (bedroom, kitchen) · 10–15 W per light
Suggested for everyday rooms.
Large (living room, office cabin) · 16–20 W per light
Suggested for bigger rooms.
Very large (hall, showroom) · above 20 W per light
Suggested for halls, showrooms and office grid ceilings.
