The ideal number of downlights for a room can vary depending on factors like ceiling height, room shape, wall colour, and how the space is used. A simple 3×3 metre bedroom might need anywhere from 4 to 6 downlights, depending on whether you prefer soft ambient lighting or bright, task-ready illumination. While our calculator gives you a helpful starting point, every home is different—and getting it wrong can leave your space feeling too dim or over-lit.
That’s where Weka Electrical comes in. As experienced lighting installers in Wellington, we offer free consultations to assess your space and recommend the perfect lighting layout for your needs. Whether you’re building new, renovating, or upgrading to energy-efficient LEDs, we’ll make sure your downlights are well-placed, compliant, and tailored to your lifestyle.
