Are you thinking about installing led recessed ceiling lights in UK at home? Are you looking for ideas? You have come to the right place then! Keep on reading.
WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE RECESSED LIGHTING?
Recessed lights are ideal for guaranteeing proper lighting in every room of the house, without giving up design nor beauty. They are also perfect for rooms that don’t have a very high ceiling or if you decide to uniformly illuminate the entire room.
RECESSED LIGHTS, THE FEATURES
Recessed lights, also known as downlights or spotlights, are a very common solution for both residential and commercial buildings. Spotlights can be installed both indoors and outdoors, and are versatile lamps as they are suitable for any context.
The most common spotlights nowadays are LED technology spotlights, which guarantee high-performance, unmatched light quality and remarkable energy savings.
RECESSED LIGHTS, WHAT YOU SHOULD CHECK
When choosing a recessed light, first of all it’s necessary to check carefully the product’s technical specifications in order to find the most suitable one for you.
The elements that need to be checked are:
– the type of lamp fitting;
– the power of the lamp;
– the size.
You should keep these features in mind, especially if you are looking for a recessed light to be installed in a system that is already in place. It will be therefore very useful to check the power of the lamp (which is expressed in watts), the size (that depends on the net hole on the dropped ceiling) and what type of fitting you need.
When installing a new recessed light you must also verify whether you will need a transformer or not. It depends on the type of preexisting system, as well as on the features of the light fixture itself.
In general, the best thing to do when replacing a recessed light in a preexisting system is to check the features mentioned above. While if you wish to install a brand-new recessed lighting system, you can choose from a wide selection of products and technologies. Let’s see how.

RECESSED SPOTLIGHTS FOR DROPPED CEILINGS
How do I install a recessed spotlight properly?
In order to install a recessed spotlight, you need a dropped ceiling suitable for holding the spotlight’s technical components.
The products by Cantalupi Light Engineering don’t require much space to be installed correctly. This feature makes these recessed light fixtures the best choice for those situations in which you need to plan a false ceiling with a limited thickness.
We need only think of the cases in which a dropped ceiling is planned over the kitchen worktable or island. In such a room it’s necessary to keep a certain net distance between the two floors; therefore the false ceiling’s thickness needs to be limited.
Recessed spotlights are an excellent lighting system for the bedrooms too. In that case, it’s necessary to plan a specific dropped ceiling relocated at the centre of the room or in another position, depending on the room size and features.
The planning of the false ceiling in the bedroom will follow the precise requirements described in the lighting design.
