What is the difference between a Downlight and a Spotlight?
Sep 14, 2022
A Downlight is a light placed or designed to throw illumination downwards, concentrating the light in a downward direction. Downlights can be used in any room and are hugely popular in Kitchens and Bathrooms due to them being widely available in Fire -Rated, and IP-Rated variations.
A Spotlight is a lamp projecting a narrow, intense beam of light directly onto a place, and can be adjusted to any angle.
Ceiling Spotlights are one of the most adaptable lighting options and they are a perfect lighting solution for any room. You can adjust the angle of the light, illuminating key areas. Bar spotlights and multi-way spotlights are extremely versatile as they are fixed from one cable point but allow for multiple light beams - allowing you to direct the light into specific areas or objects such as pictures! A spotlight is also one of the best forms of task lighting.
Downlights are installed into the ceiling (mounted on or recessed) concentrating the light in a downward direction, whilst a spotlight is fixed onto a wall or ceiling and can provide multiple light beams, allowing you to direct light directly onto a place or object.
