About LED Recessed Lighting

LED recessed lighting and LED downlights deliver clean, professional illumination while cutting energy costs by up to 80% compared to traditional incandescent can lights. Modern wafer lights and canless recessed lighting eliminate bulky housings, making them ideal for retrofit applications or shallow ceiling cavities. PROLIGHTING features industry-leading brands including Sylvania, RAB, Lotus, and DMF Lighting for residential kitchens, bathrooms, and living rooms as well as commercial offices and retail spaces.

Understanding the difference between retrofit and new construction fixtures helps you choose the right solution. Retrofit LED lights install directly into existing housings using the original socket, letting you upgrade without accessing the ceiling plenum or replacing housings. Wafer recessed lights mount to junction boxes with ultra-thin profiles perfect for remodels. New construction requires IC rated recessed lights for contact with insulation or airtight recessed lighting for energy code compliance. Trim choices affect both appearance and function: baffle trims reduce glare, smooth trims maximize light output, and gimbal recessed lighting provides adjustable directional control.

Contemporary recessed lights offer field-selectable features that simplify specification and installation. Wattage selectable fixtures let you adjust brightness on-site to match specific needs, while CCT selectable models typically switch between warm and cool white color temperatures. Specialty options include trimless recessed lights for architectural seamless ceilings, fire rated recessed lights for commercial safety compliance, color changing recessed lights and smart recessed lights with app control, and dimmable recessed lights compatible with standard dimmers. Most feature 50,000+ hour lifespans with DLC ratings qualifying for utility rebates.
