Top reasons to upgrade to downlights

We’re proud of our LED lighting knowledge and expertise, and love sharing the advantages of this type of lighting in your home.

These are our top four reasons you should consider making the switch from incandescent or halogen light globes to LED.

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.

LED downlight upgrades
save energy

Did you know that downlights operate at up to 90% less energy than incandescent lighting? A lower voltage without compromising the effectiveness of lights in your home: get the best of both worlds with LED downlight upgrades and enjoy reduced energy consumption on your yearly bills.

LED downlights
save dollars

Along with reduced energy consumption comes lower energy costs.

One of the most attractive benefits of ceiling downlights is that they help save you money.

Additionally, LED bulbs last up to 10 times longer than halogen, making it a far superior lighting choice for your home.

Some consumer reports also suggest that LED lighting may increase the value of your home by up to 3%!

LED downlights are flexible and can be installed as part of smart homes

From dimmable downlights to lights controlled by voice-activated technology like Alexa or Google Assistant: your home just became a whole lot smarter with LED.

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.

Important considerations when installing LED downlights

There’s a lot to think about when it comes to replacing your old, outdated globes with energy-efficient LEDs

Do you want recessed LED downlights or prefer them to sit flush?

Choosing between recessed and surface-mounted downlights is a design consideration you will need to make. While recessed downlights are housed within the ceiling, surface mounted sit flush with your ceiling. Both are sleek and unobtrusive; it usually comes down to personal preference.

In most cases, downlight placement comes down to the unique specifications of each room in your home.

However the general rule of thumb is to make sure they are not positioned too close to walls as this will create unnecessary shadows.

An experienced residential electrician will be able to tailor a design to meet your needs.

Dimmable lights allow you to enjoy a greater range of ambiance in living spaces like your family room or bedrooms. Turn the dial down for softer, gentler lighting, or turn it all the way up when entertaining with friends.

Other questions you should keep in mind (or ask your trusted electrician!) include:

  • What brightness (lumens) of downlights do you require?
  • What is the beam angle?
  • What is the colour temperature?
