——How to Choose Gimbal Downlight
Downlights are the universal lighting fixture because they are an integral part of a good lighting plan in most lighting projects. Downlights are most commonly used to provide general illumination in specific spaces. But how do you pick the LED downlight you need in your space? There are so many to choose from!
How to Choose Gimbal Downlight
1. Airtight & IC Rated
Airtight characteristics eliminate drafts. Insulation Contact (IC) approved, which means it is approved for use with ceiling insulation contact. Suitable for indoor and outdoor wet locations, such as bathrooms, porches, garages, etc.
2. Beam Angle
The beam angle refers to the amount of light diffused from the downlight, which can be measured in degrees. Most beam angles are 45°because they are recessed. However, if you are looking at a kitchen downlight, a narrow beam angle( of 25°) is more desirable because it will give you a focused light, which is perfect when you need to illuminate surfaces and focus on small details in the room. So the gimbal downlight is the best choice.
3. Size
Modern LED downlights are available in sizes ranging from 2 inches to 8 inches. Most homes use 4" and 6" downlights, while 8" and larger are more likely to be used for commercial lighting.
Therefore, when you are replacing an existing fixture, you will need to measure the hole or existing fixture before you buy. You should consider whether you want to match its size to keep everything consistent.
