LED Recessed Fixtures

A luminaire is a supporting structure for one or more light sources, which not only provides protective housing but also connects to the mains. The distinguishing feature of a recessed LED luminaire is that it is not placed against, but into the ceiling. You can choose an LED integrated fixture or housing where a separate light source is screwed into the socket, such as a recessed fixture GU10. You can view and/or purchase various LED lamps via this link.

A recessed luminaire has several advantages of its own. These include a sleek design that is part of your ceiling and the fact that it is less vulnerable; to being dropped from the ceiling. However, having an LED light source brings further advantages:

• Save up to 70% on your energy consumption, so that your investment will pay for itself in no time.
• The long lifespan of LED reduces maintenance and replacement costs.
• enjoy years of flicker-free lighting, which reduces or even eliminates light pollution.
• As LED does not contain any harmful substances, these light sources can be recycled without any problems!

Any-Lamp offers three types of recessed LED luminaires: LED panels, LED downlights, and LED spotlights. An LED panel is an ideal alternative to a recessed fluorescent light fixture, which is often incorporated into a suspended ceiling. However, this is not the only way in which a panel can be attached. This can also be done with a surface-mounted frame or pendant set. Read all about it in our blog on the installation of LED panels 

LED downlights and LED recessed lights can be used as general lighting or accent lighting, depending on the room, in terms of surface area and ceiling height. This is also due to the beam angle, about which you can read more here. Whereas downlights can only be installed in the ceiling, recessed spotlights are available as recessed and surface-mounted luminaires.

Because of the various light colors (2700K - 6500K) and degree angles (narrow to very wide), these recessed luminaires can be used in a wide variety of ways. You can think of offices, retail, restaurants, homes, health care, and other work environments (beauty salons, hairdressers, etc.). The table below shows you which light source is best suited to your environment.

Good to know! The division in the second column focuses on LED downlights and recessed lights. LED panels have a very wide angle beam as standard and are therefore always used for general lighting.

Whether a recessed luminaire can be used outdoors depends on the IP value of the housing. For outdoor areas that are still partially sheltered, such as a seating area under a canopy or a (screened) balcony, IP44 or IP54 (splash proof) is sufficient. However, if the light source comes into direct contact with water, due to heavy rainfall or water jets, a protection class of IP65 (watertight) is a better choice. See all LED (IP65) waterproof recessed luminaires via this link.

The DALI system means that light sources can be grouped together and set as a group. This includes collective dimming, automatic on/off switching of light sources and a certain light intensity depending on the presence of personnel. You can think of DALI recessed luminaires as smart lighting for businesses. At Any-Lamp, you will find a range of DALI luminaires from the top brands Noxion, Philips en LEDvance.

Installing a recessed luminaire in a suspended ceiling is quite simple. You only need to replace a ceiling tile with an LED panel of the same dimensions or cut a hole in a ceiling tile to mount the LED downlight or recessed spotlight.

If you have an ordinary ceiling, you need to lower the ceiling in order to install a recessed luminaire. After all, you don't want to have the wiring for your lighting constantly in sight. Of course, you can also choose to install a LED Surface Mounted Fixture For both LED panels and recessed spotlights you have different possibilities.
