LED downlight installation in Accrington for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and offices. We set the spacing out so the light lands where you need it, use fire rated fittings between floors, and test the circuit before we finish.
Downlights set out badly leave dark patches over the worktop and bright pools in the middle of the floor. We plan the grid around where you stand and work, not just the centre of the ceiling. Beam angle and ceiling height both change the spacing.
More Information
Cutting holes in a ceiling breaks its fire resistance, so fittings between floors have to be fire rated to seal the gap again. Loft insulation over a fitting traps heat unless the unit is rated to be covered. We use fittings that suit the ceiling.
Old halogen downlights run hot and eat power. LED replacements use around a tenth of it and last for years. Most drop straight into the existing hole, though old transformers usually come out. With several fittings on, the saving shows up quickly.
Downlights get judged on the finish, so straight lines, even spacing and a clean cut matter as much as the wiring behind them. We use fire rated fittings where the ceiling needs them and check the loft above before cutting. Every job is tested and certified before handover.

STILL NOT SURE?
As a rough guide, one fitting per square metre and a half in a kitchen, and rather fewer in a living room where softer light suits better. Ceiling height and beam angle change it. We work out a layout from your room sizes at the quote.
Yes, if both the fitting and the dimmer are made for it. Not all LED downlights are dimmable, and a dimmer built for halogen will make them flicker or buzz. We match a trailing edge dimmer to the fittings so the dimming stays smooth.
Usually. Most fittings need around 50 to 80mm of depth above the ceiling, and shallow versions exist for tight spaces. Where the floor above has joists close to the surface, we check the void before cutting and adjust the positions to suit.
