Choose a downlight with the finder

Answer four short questions about the room, the ceiling, the look and the light, and see the recessed downlights that fit, already set up.

Updated November 11, 2026

The downlight finder checks your answers against every recessed downlight's own configurator, so a result is a build we actually make, not a guess. It takes about a minute.

The four questions

  1. Where it goes: indoors and dry, damp, or wet. Damp needs IP44 or higher, wet needs IP65.
  2. The ceiling: the ceiling material, and whether insulation will touch the housing. Insulation contact needs an IC rated housing.
  3. The look: trimless, thin flange or no preference, and round, square or either.
  4. The light: one warm white, dim to warm, tunable white or not sure, and how it is dimmed.

Reading the results

  • Each downlight that fits shows the options the finder chose for you. Click Open it set up this way to land on its configurator with those choices made.
  • If nothing fits every answer, the finder shows the closest downlights and names the one point each one misses.
  • Your answers sit above the results. Click any of them to change it, or Start over.
  • Downlights run on a remote driver. Find its driver on a result carries the build straight to the driver finder. See find the driver for your fixtures.

Common questions

I am not sure about the ceiling or the dimming yet.

Choose Not sure yet or Not sure and the finder leaves that choice open. You can set it later on the product page.

What does IC rated mean?

An IC (insulation contact) housing is built to sit in direct contact with ceiling insulation. If insulation will be kept clear of the fixture, a standard housing is fine.
