FAQs About LED Ceiling Lights

Are All Ceiling Light Fittings The Same?

No, not all LED ceiling light fittings are the same! They come in different sizes, brightness levels (lumens), colour temperatures (warm/cool white), and designs for various spaces like homes, garages, or offices. Some are basic, while others offer features like dimming and weatherproofing.

 

At LED First Choice, we help you find the perfect fit for your needs. Check out our LED ceiling lights collection for the best options!

 

How Do LED Ceiling Lights Work?

LED ceiling lights work by passing electricity through tiny semiconductor chips (LEDs), which produce bright, energy-efficient light instantly. Unlike old bulbs, they don't use filaments (so they last longer) and stay cool to the touch. Most include a built-in driver to regulate the power, making them easy to install in standard fittings.

How To Fit LED Ceiling Lights UK?

1. Turn off power at the fuse box for safety

2. Remove old light (if replacing)

3. Fix mounting brackets to ceiling using the included screws

4. Connect wires (pre-wired battens just plug into existing cables)

5. Clip the light into place on the brackets

6. Restore power and test

 

All Morris LED battens come pre-wired with mounting hardware – no extra parts needed!

✔ Save money – Use 80% less energy than old bulbs

✔ Last longer – 25,000+ hours (years of use)
