Gimble Downlights

Gimble downlights feature an adjustable tilt mechanism that lets you direct light exactly where it's needed — ideal for accent lighting, wall washing and highlighting features in homes and commercial spaces. Choose from trusted brands in a range of wattages, colour temperatures and beam angles.

Types of Gimble Downlights

Fixed-colour and tri-colour (CCT) gimbles let you set 3000K, 4000K or 5700K to suit the room, while dimmable models give full control over ambience. Round and square trims in white, black and metallic finishes match any ceiling. Integrated LED designs run cool and last for years, and adjustable heads swivel and tilt to aim light at art, joinery or task areas. Compare with fixed recessed LED downlights and surface mounted downlights, or browse all LED downlights.

Choosing a Gimble Downlight

Match the cut-out size to your ceiling — 90mm is the most common in Australian homes. A tighter beam angle spotlights a feature, while a wider beam gives general room light. Use warm 3000K in living areas and bedrooms, and 4000K in kitchens and workspaces. For accent lighting near walls, position gimbles 200–300mm out from the wall and angle them to graze the surface. Layer with LED strips for cove detail and general indoor lighting.

Gimble Downlight FAQs

What's the difference between a gimble and a fixed downlight? A gimble tilts and swivels so you can aim the light; a fixed downlight points straight down. Choose gimbles for accenting and angled ceilings.

What cut-out size do gimble downlights use? 90mm is the most common in Australian homes, though sizes vary — always check the fitting's specification before cutting.
