Benefits of Upgrading to LED Downlights

LED downlights are a smart and modern choice for any home. With our experience in LED lighting, we’ve helped many households make the switch from older, less efficient lighting.

LED downlights
are safer

Importantly, LED globes operate at half the temperature as filament bulbs or halogen globes, the latter of which can become super hot and burst, causing injury, and can even ignite a fire.

Not only are they safer for your home, but LED lights are also safer for the environment, as they do not contain hazardous or harmful chemicals.

Incandescent and halogen downlights are being phased out

That’s right – Energy Rating Australia slowly phased out “any non-directional light bulbs that have an efficiency level of less than 15 lumens per watt”.

Since 2009, tungsten, extra low voltage, and mains voltage halogen lamps (among others) have been phased out.

Additionally, halogen downlights have been phased out as of late 2021.

Things to Keep in Mind When Installing LED Downlights

Upgrading to LED downlights is a smart move, but there are a few things to consider before you start.

Recessed VS Surface-Mounted Downlights

When upgrading to LED, you’ll need to choose between recessed and surface-mounted downlights. Recessed lights sit inside the ceiling, while surface-mounted options sit neatly against it. Both look modern – the right choice depends on your space and style.

Getting the placement right is key to effective lighting. While every room is different, a general rule is to avoid placing downlights too close to walls, as this can cause unwanted shadows and uneven lighting.

The size, shape and purpose of the room will all influence where your downlights should go. A qualified residential electrician from Prokop Electrical can assess your space and suggest the best layout to ensure your lighting is both practical and comfortable.

Dimmable downlights give you more control over your lighting, making it easy to adjust the mood in living areas like bedrooms or family rooms. Lower the light for a relaxed feel, or brighten it up when you have guests over.

There are also a few other things to think about when choosing your downlights:

  • Brightness (lumens): How much light do you need for the space?
  • Beam angle: Do you want a wide spread of light or something more focused?
  • Colour temperature: Warm, cool, or daylight – which suits the room best?

If you’re unsure, a qualified electrician from Prokop Electrical can help you make the right choices for your home.
