Ceiling Lighting Selection: Recessed, Surface-Mounted and Suspended Ceiling Guide

Ceiling lighting selection: recessed (flush), surface-mounted and suspended ceiling applications. LED luminaire and mounting guide.

Ceiling lighting is the main element that defines the overall atmosphere and functionality of a space. When choosing, consider ceiling height, purpose of use and existing construction (suspended ceiling, concrete, etc.). Wrong choices can lead to insufficient light or unnecessary energy use. This article summarises what to consider for recessed, surface-mounted and suspended ceiling applications.

Recessed (flush) luminaires are common in offices, retail and residential projects where a flat, modern look is desired. Frame and cut-out dimensions must be planned correctly before installation; in fire-rated ceilings, products complying with relevant standards should be used. Surface-mounted luminaires offer easy, quick retrofit solutions and are ideal where drilling the existing ceiling is not desired.

In suspended ceiling (gypsum, mineral, etc.) applications, luminaire weight and size must match load capacity. Linear and panel products provide even lighting and visual continuity in such applications. Track spot systems offer accent and flexibility with directional light; the number and position of spots can be changed later.
