We’re available 24/7, every day of the year, which includes weekends and public holidays. Best of all, our rates never change.

Downlights are lighting fixtures that are installed directly into the ceiling of a room, rather than hanging down. They create a more concentrated beam of light than hanging lights, which means they provide more functional lighting.

This type of lighting is commonly used in residential homes for a sleek and unobtrusive lighting solution that blends seamlessly into the ceiling.

The light they emit can vary in intensity and colour, depending on the type of bulb used, allowing homeowners to choose the right lighting for their needs. LED downlights are particularly popular due to their energy efficiency and long lifespan.

Downlights are a great choice for every homeowner. One of their best aspects is their versatility. They are capable of being installed in any room in the house, from kitchens and living rooms to bathrooms and hallways.

Downlights provide focused lighting, which makes them perfect for highlighting certain areas or features in a space, such as countertops or artwork.

Energy Efficiency is the Key

Another key aspect of downlights is their energy efficiency. Most modern downlights will use LED (Light-Emitting Diode) technology.

LED lights are highly energy-efficient and consume much less power than more traditional incandescent light bulbs. This efficiency helps you save on your energy bills, and lower your carbon footprint.

Downlights come in various styles and designs, each suited to different lighting needs and preferences. Here's a breakdown of the most common types:

• Fixed downlights: Fixed downlights are stationary lights that point directly downward. Ideal for general lighting, they work best in spaces like living rooms and kitchens. Upside Down offers professional installation of fixed downlights, ensuring proper placement for optimal lighting.
• Adjustable downlights: Also known as gimbal downlights, these can be tilted or rotated to direct light where needed. They're perfect for accentuating artwork or creating a focused lighting area.
• LED downlights: LED downlights are energy-efficient and long-lasting, making them an eco-friendly option. Upside Down is well-equipped for installing LED downlights for those looking to reduce their energy consumption.
• Recessed downlights: These downlights sit flush with the ceiling, offering a minimalist look. They're perfect for spaces with low ceilings or those wanting a clean, unobtrusive design.
• Surface-mounted downlights: Surface-mounted downlights are ideal when recessed lighting isn't possible. They sit on the surface of the ceiling and are available in various designs.

Upside Down can help you select and install the perfect type of downlight to suit your space and lighting needs.
