Lighting Solutions

Plan your lighting around the space

A useful lighting solution starts with the room, the mounting surface and the work done there. The fittings above cover several different jobs: compact recessed lights, surface and grid-ceiling panels, linear battens, bulkheads and feature shapes. This page is a starting point for comparing those options. For a narrower selection, use the linked collections below rather than treating every fitting as suitable for every project.

Match the fitting to the installation

For a room with an existing recessed opening, begin by measuring the cut-out and checking the available ceiling depth. A compact recessed panel or downlight may suit that layout; a surface-mounted fitting avoids the same type of recess. For a suspended ceiling, check the grid and the panel's actual outside dimensions before selecting one of the larger square LED panels. Some listings are described as 595 x 595 mm and others as 600 x 600 mm, so the product specification matters more than a broad category label.

Where practical linear lighting is the priority, such as a workshop, garage or utility area, compare the listed 2ft, 4ft and 6ft LED battens. A bulkhead is a different shape and may suit a wall or ceiling position; check the individual product's mounting, sensor and IP details if the location is exposed or damp. For exterior projects, start with the dedicated outdoor lighting range.

Decide what the light needs to do

Think about the activity first. General room lighting needs a suitable spread of light across the space; a desk, workbench or counter may need more focused task lighting. A shaped or sky-design panel may be chosen for its appearance, while a plain panel is often easier to repeat across a larger area. Compare stated lumen output, colour temperature, dimensions and the number of fittings you plan to install. Wattage alone is not a brightness measure.

Before buying, check the product page for what is included, electrical requirements, dimming or control compatibility, and any location-specific rating. Do not assume that a driver, remote, sensor or mounting part is included across all products. If you are replacing existing fittings, note their dimensions and wiring arrangement so an installer can confirm the choice.

Browse by the job you are doing

For recessed and surface ceiling fittings in rooms, use Indoor LED Lights. For office and trade fit-outs, compare Commercial Lighting and its ceiling-light and frame-light collections. If you are building a ceiling grid, browse Grid and Tiles as well as the panel dimensions. When the selected fitting needs separate power or control equipment, the LED Drivers & Controllers category helps you check the next part of the system.

Lighting project questions

What is the difference between this page and Indoor LED Lights? This collection is a wider starting point across fitting types and project uses. Indoor LED Lights focuses on room and ceiling fittings.

Will a square panel fit my suspended ceiling? Check the grid opening, the panel's external dimensions and its mounting requirements on the exact product page.

Can I mix different LED fittings in one space? Yes, where the layout and installation allow it, but compare colour temperature and light output so the result is consistent. Have a qualified installer confirm the electrical design.
