Commercial downlights are usually brighter and have a higher lumen output to ensure adequate illumination in large areas and are designed to provide uniform light distribution across wide spaces. Residential downlights often have lower lumen outputs, used for localised or accent lighting.

1). Compact design and comfortable light for better integration with the space.
2). LED slim lights are easier to customize. Aesthetics and design are better.
3). Don't require large holes to be cut into the ceiling.
1) The most popular size is the 4-inch fixture and the 6-inch fixture. However, higher ceilings require larger diameters, typically 6 inches or above. Our slim downlights are more practical.

The distance between the recessed lights | 5 feet |
The distance from the wall to the fixture | 1.5-3 feet |
Number of fixtures |
4-8Pcs |
The distance between the recessed lights = 1/2 * The height of the ceiling
The distance from the wall to the fixture: The general recommendation is 1.5-3 feet.
Number of fixtures = (Length of Space + Width of Space)/The distance between the recessed lights
If you want a brighter effect, the number of fixtures *2.
Take a 12x12 foot room as an example:
The distance between the recessed lights | 6 feet |
The distance from the wall to the fixture | 1.5-3 feet |
Number of fixtures |
4-8Pcs |
8 "and 10" recessed lights are suitable for spaces with higher ceiling heights that don't have to install a lot of fixtures.
Anti-glare is designed who are sensitive to bright lights, which are adults with light-colored eyes and A developing child.
Anti-glare lighting can reduce eye strain.
The Downside of Glare:
Each of ElephantDepot commercial downlights has an anti-glare design to take care of your eye health.
This year, we have made improvements based on the original products, enhancing the anti-glare function and deepening the depth of the baffle without affecting the lighting.
-1) Material of Lighting Fixtures:
Light Body Material | Aluminum > Copper > Iron |
Lampshade Material | Acrylic > PVC > Plastic |
The best material for the lamp body is aluminum, which is lightweight and not easy to rust because of its inert metal nature.
Copper has good rust resistance and corrosion resistance, but the color is not welcomed by the mainstream market.
Iron is hard but rusts easily.
Many downlights on the market are made of iron, or copper, and electroplating or paint technology is used to isolate the contact between metal and the outside world.
ElephantDepot commercial downlights body are made of 99% pure aluminum.
-- Pure aluminum has good thermal conductivity, improves the heat dissipation effect of lamps, and prolongs the service life of lamps.
-- Aluminum is light in weight and has good strength to meet the structural requirements of lighting fixtures.
-- Pure aluminum has good oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, and the lamp body is not easy to deform and damage.
-- Smooth appearance, beautiful fashion. Perfect for modern commercial decor.
For lampshade materials do not choose PVC and plastic. These two materials are prone to deformation and yellowing. It will affect the use effect and life of the lamp.
The best downlight material is: Aluminum + Acrylic
-2) The Luminous Technology:
LED lighting technology is the most energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and popular. In addition, FCC, and ETL certification must be included.
