Downlights
Even lighting for dining and tasks. Wired by a licensed electrician.
Recessed outdoor downlights provide even, glare‑controlled illumination under your pergola. Low‑profile LED fittings sit flush with the frame so the ceiling reads clean; the beam is shaped to light tables and walkways without hot spots.
At a glance
- Even, low‑glare illumination for dining and tasks
- Low‑profile, IP‑rated LED fittings
- Dimmable circuits with warm/neutral options
- Good coverage for tables, prep areas and paths
How it works
24V or mains drivers mount in protected cavities; sealed luminaires and cabling are rated for exterior use. Circuits can be dimmed independently and colour temperature tuned warm for relaxed dining or neutral for tasks.
Why it's good
- Efficient LEDs sip power and run cool for long life
- Keeps ceilings clean with recessed trims
- Lights surfaces without harsh hot spots or glare
- Pairs well with strip lighting for layered scenes

FAQs
Will they attract bugs?
Warm colour temperature and modest output reduce attraction compared with brighter, cooler lamps.
Can I add later?
Yes. Plan cable paths in advance so a licensed electrician can retrofit fittings cleanly.
