LED Spotlights & Downlights

LED spotlights and downlights give you bright, efficient, directional light with the LED built in, so there's no bulb to change and running costs stay low. They're the workhorses of modern lighting, giving even light across a ceiling or aimed light exactly where you need it, and many come fire-rated or IP-rated for use between floors and in bathrooms.

What's the difference between a spotlight and a downlight?

A downlight is recessed into the ceiling and sits flush, giving an even wash of light, perfect for kitchens, bathrooms and hallways. A spotlight is usually surface-mounted, often on a bar or plate, and can be angled to aim light at a worktop, a picture or a feature. Both come with integrated LED, and many spotlights let you point each head separately.

Integrated LED or GU10 bulbs?

Integrated LED fittings have the light built in: slim, low-maintenance, and available fire-rated, with no bulb to change. Fittings that take a GU10 bulb let you swap the bulb yourself and change colour or brightness later. For bulb-fitting recessed spots, see our main recessed downlights.

Where do LED spots and downlights work?

Downlights suit kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and any room that needs even overhead light, while spotlights and twin or triple bars are ideal over a worktop, island or in a room where you want to aim light in different directions. In a bathroom or kitchen near water, choose an IP-rated fitting.

Fire-rated and IP options

Recessed downlights cut into a ceiling can need to be fire-rated to keep the ceiling's fire protection intact, especially between floors, and fittings near water should be IP-rated. Both are worth checking before you buy for those spots.

Are LED spotlights dimmable?

Many are, but not all, so check the fitting is marked dimmable and pair it with a compatible LED dimmer for smooth, flicker-free control. Dimming is especially handy in a kitchen or open-plan room that shifts from bright cooking light to a softer evening setting.
