FAQs

Question 1

Should ceiling lights be a particular size?

Accepted Answer

The size of your ceiling lights is dependent on the size of the room, but this can change relative to specific types and styles. As a general rule of thumb, add the length and width of your room in feet and using that number, replacing feet with inches to determine a suitable fixture size for the ceiling.

Question 2

Which lights are best for low ceilings?

Accepted Answer

Flush mount lights or recessed ceiling lights are the best light fixtures for rooms with low ceilings. These types don’t protrude, maximising the space available in the room. Pendant lighting in these situations can otherwise hang too low and become a hazard for those who are taller than average.

Question 3

Do bathrooms need a specific type of ceiling light?

Accepted Answer

Any type of light can be a bathroom ceiling light as long as it suits the IP ratings required for the damp environment, especially if fitted above the bath or near the shower. Lights with warm white light and a brightness between 20 and 50 lumens are recommended, although the style of ceiling light is up to your personal preference.

Question 4

Are LED lights ideal for the kitchen?

Accepted Answer

LED lights make perfect kitchen ceiling lights, especially as task lights above the countertops. Because of their economical brightness and minimal heat production, LED lights are highly durable and will withstand the heat that rises from kitchen spaces. This means you won’t have to replace them as often, making them cost-effective in the long run.
