Living Room Lighting Advice & Latest Information

Our expert tip for living room lighting is to use downlights with wider beam angles. This is because the living doesn't need to be as bright as other rooms like kitchens or bathrooms. Spacing your downlights further apart means you can install less of them, especially if they're bright. Wide beam angles with brighter light outputs are a must for living room lighting projects.
