Why Homeowners Are Switching to

LED Downlights

LED downlights are one of the smartest upgrades you can make to your home. Whether you’re updating an older property or designing a new one, modern LED lighting offers benefits beyond just brightness:

Energy Efficiency

LED downlights use up to 80% less electricity than traditional bulbs, helping to lower your energy bills while being kinder to the environment.

Sleek, Modern Finish

Recessed fittings create a clean, streamlined look that enhances any interior - from kitchens and bathrooms to living spaces.

Improved Safety

Professionally fitted, fire-rated LED downlights reduce the risk of overheating and electrical faults, keeping your home and family safe.

Long-Lasting Performance

LEDs last up to 25,000 hours, meaning less maintenance, fewer replacements, and consistent performance for years.

Custom Ambience

Choose from a variety of brightness levels and colour tones (warm white, cool white, daylight) to perfectly match your décor and mood.

Smart Control Ready

Many modern LED downlights are compatible with smart home systems, giving you full control of your lighting through your phone or voice assistant.

"Jamie and the guys from JJB electrical are brilliant. I have found so many other companies to be unprofessional and unreliable but it has been so refreshing to deal with Jamie and the guys who are not only very professional and reliable but really kind. If anyone in need of an electrician feels vulnerable or worried about being ripped off, I highly highly recommend JJB electricals as they are so trustworthy and helpful, which is quite rare these days, sadly."

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are downlights and why are they so popular?

Downlights are modern, recessed ceiling lights that sit flush for a clean, stylish look. They provide even light across your room and suit everything from kitchens to bathrooms and hallways — adding value and sophistication to your home.

2. Do I need a qualified electrician to install downlights?

Yes. Downlights must be installed by a qualified electrician to meet UK wiring regulations and fire safety standards. As NAPIT-approved installers, JJB Electrical ensures your lights are fitted safely, neatly, and in full compliance.

3. Do I need fire-rated downlights?

In most homes, yes — especially when lights are installed into a ceiling that forms part of a fire barrier (like between floors). We always use certified fire-rated downlights that maintain your ceiling’s fire integrity for total peace of mind.

4. Can I have dimmable or smart-controlled downlights?

Absolutely. We install dimmable, app-controlled and voice-controlled options, giving you flexible lighting for every occasion. We’ll recommend dimmers and smart systems that work perfectly with your chosen fittings.

5. How many downlights will I need for my room?

It depends on your ceiling height, room size, and brightness preference — but we’ll calculate the ideal layout for you as part of your free quote. This ensures perfect spacing, light balance, and zero dark spots.

6. What colour temperature should I choose — warm or cool?

Warm white (around 3000 K) gives a cosy, relaxing glow for lounges and bedrooms. Cool white (4000 K+) is brighter and ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and workspaces. We’ll help you choose the perfect tone for each room.

7. Can downlights go in bathrooms or outside areas?

Yes — but only specific IP-rated models designed for damp or wet zones. We’ll advise which rating (e.g. IP44, IP65) is needed for safe installation.

8. How long do LED downlights last?

Our high-quality LED downlights typically last up to 25,000 hours (lamp depending), meaning years of maintenance-free lighting and significant energy savings.

9. What’s the average cost for downlight installation?

Every home is different, but our minimum charge starts from £90 (plus Vat) and we provide clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
