Recessed LED Downlight

Recessed LED downlights sit flush with the ceiling for a clean, modern finish and bright, even illumination. Installed neatly into the ceiling, they're the go-to for living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and commercial fit-outs, with energy-efficient LEDs that last far longer than halogen.

Types of Recessed LED Downlights

Fixed downlights point straight down for general room light, while tri-colour (CCT) models let you switch between 3000K, 4000K and 5700K on the fitting. Dimmable versions adjust brightness for the right mood, and IP-rated designs suit bathrooms and covered outdoor areas. For angled light, see adjustable gimble downlights; where recessing isn't possible, choose surface mounted downlights. Browse the full LED downlights range for every ceiling.

Choosing a Recessed Downlight

Check the cut-out size — 90mm is standard in most Australian homes — and confirm ceiling depth for the fitting and driver. Space downlights evenly, roughly 1–1.5m apart, for uniform light without dark patches. Use warm 3000K in bedrooms and lounges and 4000K in kitchens and bathrooms. In wet areas choose an appropriate IP rating, and pick dimmable models paired with compatible dimmers. Complete a scheme with LED strips and general indoor lighting.

Recessed Downlight FAQs

How far apart should downlights be spaced? Around 1–1.5 metres apart gives even coverage without hotspots or dark gaps; space closer for brighter task areas.

Can recessed downlights be used in bathrooms? Yes — choose an IP-rated fitting suited to the bathroom zone, and have it installed by a licensed electrician.
