Lighting

This is the whole WME lighting department: fittings, lamps and controls for homes, workplaces, gardens and stages. It covers ceiling pendants, downlights, track and wall lights, LED tape and profiles, light bulbs, floodlights, bollards and ground lights, commercial bulkheads and battens, emergency lighting, and stage, DJ and effects lighting, along with torches, work lights and LED bathroom mirrors. Start with the department that fits the job.

Choosing Lighting

Start with where the light is going and what it has to do, then open the department that covers it.

Indoors

Indoor lighting covers ceiling and wall lights, spotlights and downlights, track and under cabinet lighting. Examples include the Knightsbridge 8270BC pre-wired E27 pendant set, the Ambar AMA1TSW tilting GU10 downlight and the TRK1MAW 1m single circuit track rated 10A.

Outdoors

Outdoor lighting covers floodlights, wall and porch lights, bollards and ground lights, such as the FLN20 20W IP65 floodlight, the CBL15SS 950mm stainless steel bollard and the 316WALK IP67 ground light, which takes a 1000kg load.

LED, bulbs and smart

LED lighting gathers LED strip lights, profiles such as the plaster-in 2MPLA, panels and drivers. Light bulbs covers GU10, candle and GLS lamps such as the CLD4AESC filament candle, and smart lighting app-controlled lamps such as the CL5KW Wi-Fi candle.

Frequently asked questions

What types of lighting products are there?

Lighting products fall into a few broad groups: indoor fittings, outdoor lights, lamps and LED strip, emergency lighting, and stage or effects lighting. Indoor fittings include ceiling lights, downlights and wall lights, while outdoor ranges include floodlights and bollards. Decide on the space and the job first, then narrow the choice by group. The range here includes indoor, outdoor, emergency and stage lighting.

How do I plan a lighting system for a room?

Plan a room's lighting in layers: general light from ceiling fittings or downlights, task light where people read, cook or work, and accent light to pick out features. Match the colour temperature to the room, with warmer white for living spaces and cooler white for kitchens and work areas. Put the layers on separate switches or dimmers so the mood can change.
