FAQs
Are LED downlights good for outdoor use?
Whether you’re using LED downlights for indoor or outdoor use, they offer an average lifespan of 50,000 hours and will save you a good chunk of money on your electric bill each month.
How to choose an LED recessed downlight beam angle?
The average height of a ceiling is about 8 to 9 feet. Use a 60-degree beam angle or more for LED recessed downlights. If your ceiling is taller than standard, use a 45-degree or less beam angle for LED downlights.
Can you regulate the intensity of LED downlights?
Yes, you can regulate the intensity of LED downlights. Just make sure you purchase a dimmable downlight. This will let you control the level of light that comes through.
How Many Downlights Do I Need?
The number of LED downlights needed for a space depends on several factors, including room size, ceiling height, beam angle, and the level of brightness desired. A general rule of thumb is to calculate the total lumens required by multiplying the room’s square footage by 1.5 (for general lighting) or by 2.5 (for task lighting). Then, divide this total by the lumen output of your chosen LED downlight.
For example, if your room is 10x10 feet (100 square feet), the total lumens needed for general lighting would be approximately 150 lumens per square foot × 100 = 15,000 lumens. If you choose LED downlights with a brightness of 1,500 lumens each, you would need 10 LED downlights to achieve adequate illumination.
Other considerations, such as dimmability, fixture spacing, and room function, may also impact the ideal number of downlights. For a more precise calculation tailored to your space, use our Lighting Layout Tool.
What’s the Difference Between Downlights and Spotlights?
The difference between downlights and spotlights is that downlights are installed inside the ceiling to direct light straight down, either mounted or recessed. Spotlights are fastened to the wall or ceiling, and can also be mounted in the ground outdoors, where you have more control of where the light hits and can have multiple streams of light.
