Do I Need a Special Downlight for Showers and Outdoor Areas?

For outdoor recessed lighting and shower recessed lighting, you want to find light fixtures and bulbs that can withstand

dust and water exposure, which is indicated by the Ingress Protection (IP) rating.

The right IP rating will reduce hazards by shielding your recessed lighting fixture from the elements. For dust and water

protection, a rating of IP65 is recommended.

What Kind of LED Light Bulb Do I Need for My Downlight?

To avoid a fire hazard, never choose a light bulb with a higher wattage than is recommended for the light fixture. LED light bulbs produce more light (measured in lumens) for less energy

(measured in watts) when compared to fluorescent and incandescent bulbs.

Choosing LED bulbs will allow you to maximize light output and reduce maintenance costs. LED bulbs also remain cool,

which will further protect your home or business from fire.

Can I Control the Beam Angle of My LED Downlight?

LED downlights require you to insert holes in the ceiling to install a new light fixture, or you can retrofit a

preexisting ceiling lighting fixture.

You will most likely require a new junction box if you do not already have one in the area you want to install the

recessed lighting fixtures. A junction box is placed in the ceiling above the light fixture and contains electric wires and

cables necessary to connect the light to the main power source of the building.

Architecture and building regulations vary, so you must check your downlight’s Insulation Contact (IC) rating to ensure

that it is compatible with the type of insulation used in your home or business.
