Recessed LED Spotlights Overview
Design modern living spaces and well-defined lighting zones
LED recessed spotlights are the perfect choice if you’re looking for modern, space-saving lighting. Almost invisible once installed in the ceiling, they provide even illumination throughout living rooms, kitchens and bathrooms. At EGLO, you’ll find a wide range of LED recessed spotlights that combine functionality, design and efficiency. Whether you need a single recessed light, a practical set or a flexible solution for different rooms, you’ll find lighting tailored to your home. Our LED recessed lights can be used in a variety of ways – as general lighting in the living room, focused task lighting in the kitchen or a safe solution for the bathroom. This makes it easy to find the right LED recessed spotlight for your needs.
230V LED recessed spotlights
230V LED recessed spotlights are particularly practical because they connect directly to the mains power supply. Our 230V LED recessed lights are ideal for living rooms, hallways and kitchens and can be installed quickly without the need for an additional transformer. When planning your lighting, approximately 100–150 lm/m² is generally sufficient for living rooms and bedrooms, while kitchens and bathrooms often require around 250–300 lm/m². Modern LED technology offers a range of lighting options for different everyday requirements.
Flat LED recessed spotlights
Flat LED recessed lights are ideal when ceiling void space is limited, such as in suspended ceilings. Despite their compact design, ceiling-mounted LED recessed lights provide even and effective illumination. Our LED recessed ceiling lights are suitable for a variety of spaces: living rooms for calm ambient lighting, hallways for clear visibility and dining rooms for balanced light distribution. When choosing your lights, consider both the cut-out diameter (commonly 68–90 mm) and the appropriate light colour: Warm white (2,700–3,300 K) for living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas Neutral white (3,300–5,300 K) for kitchens, bathrooms and hallways
Dimmable LED recessed spotlights
With dimmable LED recessed spotlights, you can adjust your lighting from practical task lighting to a cosy atmosphere. This flexibility is especially valuable in living rooms and bedrooms. Modern LED recessed lights are often continuously dimmable, creating smooth transitions between brightness levels. It is important to choose compatible LEDs and dimmers to ensure optimal performance. Typical applications include: Living room: dimmed lighting in the evening Dining room: bright light for dining, softer light for atmosphere Bedroom: subtle and relaxing illumination
LED recessed spotlights for bathrooms & damp areas
Bathrooms and other humid environments require specially protected LED recessed spotlights. Choosing the correct IP rating is essential. LED recessed ceiling lights with:
IP44 are suitable for many bathroom areas
IP65 are ideal near direct water exposure, such as above showers
These recessed LED ceiling lights combine safety with excellent light quality. Around mirrors, neutral white light (3,300–5,300 K) is often preferred because it renders colours more naturally.
IP65 recessed spotlights for showers & damp areas
If you plan to install lights directly above a shower, IP65 LED recessed spotlights are the right choice. They are protected against water jets and provide reliable illumination even in demanding environments.
Adjustable LED recessed spotlights
Adjustable LED recessed spotlights offer maximum flexibility. You can direct light precisely onto worktops, artwork or furniture, making them ideal for kitchens and living rooms.
LED recessed spotlight sets
LED recessed light sets make lighting design particularly simple. Multiple spotlights are perfectly matched and create a consistent lighting effect throughout the room, making them ideal for larger spaces.
12V LED recessed spotlights
12V LED recessed spotlights are often used in specialised installations. Combined with the right LED light source, they provide a reliable solution for low-voltage systems, such as custom furniture projects or specific ceiling constructions.
FAQ
How many LED recessed spotlights do I need per square metre?
For living spaces, approximately 100–150 lm/m² is often recommended. Kitchens and bathrooms typically require around 250–300 lm/m². The required number of recessed spotlights depends on light output, room size and the desired brightness level.
Which light colour is best?
Warm white light (2,700–3,300 K) is commonly chosen for living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas. Neutral white light (3,300–5,300 K) is often preferred for kitchens, bathrooms and hallways. Daylight white light above 5,300 K is particularly suitable for workshops and other areas with high lighting requirements.
What diameter do recessed spotlights have?
Typical ceiling cut-outs range from 68 mm to 90 mm. It is important to measure the existing cut-out accurately before selecting a spotlight.
Which IP rating do I need in the bathroom?
IP20: Dry indoor rooms
IP44: Areas exposed to splashes of water
IP65: Showers or areas with direct water exposure
230V or 12V recessed spotlights – which is better?
For most residential applications, 230V LED recessed spotlights are the simpler solution. They connect directly to the mains power supply and do not require an additional transformer. 12V systems are mainly used for specialised applications or existing low-voltage installations.
