LEDs

Recessed downlights are the most common style of garden room lighting. They come in several fitting styles: fixed, eyeball, gimbal and wall washer. With fixed downlights, the light is directed downwards. Gimbal downlights can be rotated to direct the light. Eyeball lights can also be moved to direct the light, but through a greater range than gimbals allow. Wall washer lights although fitted in the ceiling are designed to direct light at the walls.

Spotlights usually are surface mounted and can be fitted singularly or in groups on plates or tracks. Spotlights typically have a swivel fitting which allows you to direct the light where you want it, which could be useful to direct the light over the desk area.

Light Fittings

The most popular type of lighting for a garden room is recessed downlights, although these cannot be fitted in all styles of garden room. If your garden room is suitable, then these recessed downlights, which take LED bulbs, come in several types:

Fixed – light directly downwards
wall washer – light directed at the walls
gimbal – these can be rotated to direct light
Eyeball – these can be rotated with a greater range than gimbal lights

Some of these systems will have an option for a dimmer switch so that you can adjust the lighting in your garden room even more.

If downlights cannot be placed in your garden room, then spotlights are probably the next logical option. Spotlights are mounted on the surface and can be on tracks, fitted singularly on in groups. They will usually have a swivel function so you can direct the light exactly where you want it.

To give you an idea of how many lights you may need, downlighters are placed a metre from the wall and about 1.5 metres apart.

Lighting Controls

Many garden room suppliers will offer different options for lighting control. This option allows you to control the lighting remotely, such as with a key fob. This is especially brilliant on a rainy day when you get into the house and realise you’ve left a light turned on. There are also systems controlled by your smartphone which are available or even those attached to Google Home.

Lighting options clearly abound; it will help to talk to your garden room supplier or a qualified electrician about the intended use of the room. They can guide you through the appropriate lighting options for your needs.
