Downlight Installation Bristol

What is downlighting?

In the electrical field, downlighting simply refers to a style of light fitting where the light bulb is set into a hollow opening in the ceiling, the bulbs are held in position by compression or spring clips. This style of light fittings casts the light in a downwards direction but the very clever installation means you only see a small part of the fitting from below.

Many domestic or residential customers in Bristol opt for downlighting for the kitchen or bathroom as the light bulbs used in downlight installation are fire rated which ensures they are low risk and much safer. Downlighting can in fact be installed in all spaces within your home.

Which type of downlighting should I have installed?

EMC Electrical Services are honest with all our customers and are more than happy to discuss the right type of downlighting for you. There are few variations to choose from:

• Recessed- Reduced glare as the light source is recessed into the ceiling and produces a better quality of light.
• Trim- A view of the bezel (the ring surrounding the light fixture) on the ceiling can be seen.
• Trimless- Focus is on the light rather than the light fixture. The bezel is flush with the ceiling as it is plastered in. This type of downlighting aso reduces glare.

Why should I use LED downlights?

Here at EMC Electrical Services, we highly recommend LED downlights as the better choice. Not only are they cheaper to run as they create less waste energy, they also last around 10 years which is considerably longer than traditional halogen bulbs.

As LED bulbs use less energy to run, there is less heat energy being released which in return means barely any damage to the light fixture itself.

Benefits of downlight installation for your home in Bristol

• Small rooms- Downlighting can be useful in small rooms such as utility or office rooms. Downlighting can provide consistency across the room to avoid dark corners.
• Dimming- Many homeowners find the downlight dimming option beneficial when relaxing on the sofa in the evenings or to create the perfect ambience when entertaining guests.
• Environmentally friendly- We mentioned that LED bulbs are cheaper to run but they are better for the environment too as they are free of toxic gases such as Mercury but they can also be disposed of safely.
