Carrum lighting upgrade — from bulky battens to sleek LED downlights

Before
This Carrum dining room had a large LED batten fixed under the ceiling beam. It did the job, but it drew the eye, produced uneven light across the table, and didn’t suit the home’s clean interior.

The challenge: a flat roof with limited space
Flat roofs often have shallow cavities and tight clearances around framing and insulation. That limits the fittings you can safely use and makes neat cabling and placement crucial.

Our solution
We specified low-profile, insulation-compatible LED downlights designed for shallow cavities, then positioned them to light the table evenly without glare.

What we took care of:

• Safe removal of the existing batten and tidy termination of wiring
• Careful placement to avoid shadows from the beam and walls
• Neat cabling and cut-outs to preserve the ceiling finish
• Warm, comfortable colour temperature to suit dining and living
• Dimmer-ready setup so the clients can tune the mood

The result

• A clean ceiling line with no bulky fittings
• Brighter, more even light over the dining table
• A modern look that matches the timber doors and wall sconces
• Energy-efficient LEDs that are easy to live with

Thinking about upgrading a flat-roof home?
If your ceiling space is tight, you still have options. We’ll recommend fittings that are safe for the cavity, look great, and provide the right spread of light for how you use the room.
