  2. Are you looking for the perfect LED light for your living space?  WHICH COLOUR TO CHOOSE • Lighting is great for setting the mood, but you need to make sure you are choosing the right color for the spaces they are intended for. • Warm white is a comfortable light color that is ideal for all areas of the house, in particular living areas and bedrooms, this is the most popular choice. • Cool White is a lot brighter and is generally used in laundries, and garages and because it is a lot harsher it is not recommended for living areas. • Natural White this color is in between warm white and cool white, and this is a sharper light that replicates daylight and is practical in bathrooms, pantries, and work areas. LED downlights use a different technology than the standard bulb, Electrical Company Bristol put together a quick guide explaining a few points to help in choosing the right LED for your home.

  3. BRIGHTNESS LEVEL: The brightness level is one of the first things you should think about when choosing your LED downlights. The brightness of a downlight is measured in lumens and not wattage. While these are interlinked in many ways, they are not measuring the same thing. So, when comparing downlights, the higher the lumens the brighter the light will be. So, you should choose the downlights brightness based on the room you will be installing them in.

  4. THE KELVIN(K): • The Kelvin or “K” is a unit that measures a light's color temperature. The 3 common color temperatures available are 3000k (warm), 4000k (cool), and 5000k (daylight/Natural White)\ • The most popular of these for residential living spaces is the 3000k which offers a “warmer” color, and the 4000k for bathrooms and laundries when “brighter” light is required

  5. WATTAGE: Wattage measures how much energy the light will take to work. LED downlights to have a wattage of around 4.5 watts to 14 watts compared to a standard halogen downlight which is around 55 watts, this makes them energy-efficient lights solutions. So, when looking for the most energy-efficient light try opting for the lowest wattage.

  6. WHERE TO INSTALL AND HOW MANY: If this is your first time installing downlights one of the common questions asked is how far apart downlights should be and how many in a room is too many.

  7. Your Electrician will be able to guide you in the installation process, but as a quick guide the general area you should allow up to 5 watts per square meter. You should be looking at placing them 1.4ft – 2ft from the walls and around 4ft between each downlight, however, this can vary depending on the room size, and the usage.
