- Fit them in your kitchen, lounge, dining room or bathrooms
- All our downlights that we install are fire rated as standard
- LED lamps cost a little more than halogen, but you will save money in the long run
Downlights are a great alternative to pendant light fittings, when fitted correctly they make a great feature to any room.
You can fit them in your kitchen, lounge, dining room or bathrooms, when fitting them in wet rooms its advised to use fittings that are IP rated to IP65 as they protect against water ingress.
Downlighting options
They come in many different colours and sizes, lamp types are halogen or LED.
LED (light-emitting diode) are a little more expensive than a halogen but you will save on electricity with LED so, in the long run, you will save money. The standard size is around 75mm in diameter but can range from 10mm to 300mm and the 4 main colours are brushed chrome, polished chrome, white and gold.
There are 3 main lamp colours and they are cool white, warm white and daylight. We will talk you through which one suits the room before we fit anything.
Fire rated downlights
When installing downlights you should opt for the fire rated type. Fire rated downlights are designed to prevent and minimise fire from spreading, when installed they are recessed in the ceiling.
To recess the fitting you have to cut a hole out in the plasterboard so the ceiling then loses its integrity so to restore the integrity it is better to install fire rated downlights as they are designed to deter fire for longer periods.
All our downlights that we install are fire rated as standard.
Energy saving lighting
ProElec can save the average house many hours of unnecessary lighting every year with a low cost product, the motion sensor PIR (passive infrared sensor) light switch. Equate that unnecessary electricity use and it translates into money saved longterm.
The motion sensor PIR light switch senses when to turn on your lights by detecting when you’re in the room, and turns the lights off when you’re not.
The PIR energy saving system measures natural infrared light radiating from people in its field of view.
The unit also detects light levels entering the room, so it will only switch on lighting when the room is dark and the sensitivity is adjustable. The sensor covers 180 degrees by 8m long.
Simply put, if there is no-one in the room the unit will switch itself off, but don’t worry about constantly having to wave your arms around to keep it running. The PIR Energy light switch is quickly and easily installed by ProElec’s electricians, please contact us for more information or for a free home safety survey.
PIR switches are ideal for energy saving in
Residential homes, corridors and stairwells, student accommodation, toilet blocks, changing rooms, offices, factories and factory floors, workshops, schools (classrooms, technology rooms etc), hospitals, canteens, staff rooms, nursing homes and care homes.
