Ultra-thin Led Downlight for Kitchens

Ultra-thin LED downlights for kitchens give you powerful, even light where you need it most: the countertop, cooktop and sink. At GreenIce you'll find slim panels that fit into suspended ceilings with very little clearance, offering high efficiency and light tones designed for comfortable cooking.

Ultra-thin panels that suit a kitchen

  • High-efficiency panels (100 lm/W): from 6 W to 24 W, in 4000 K or 6000 K. For example, an 18 W panel delivers 1800 lm, enough to light a large work area.
  • Round and square panels: choose the shape that best matches the design of your ceiling and furniture.
  • Panels with adjustable tone (CCT or 3CCT): 18 W and 24 W models that let you switch from warm to cool light as needed.
  • Panels with remote control: 18 W and 24 W models with brightness and tone control, useful in kitchens open to the living room.
  • Glass or satin nickel finishes: for kitchens where the fixture is also part of the decor.

How to light the kitchen with LED panels

In a kitchen, it's best to separate general lighting from task lighting. Arrange the panels in a line above the countertop, about 40-60 cm from the wall, so your own shadow doesn't fall on the cutting board. If the kitchen is open-plan, dimmable panels let you lower the brightness when the space is used for dining.

To complete the lighting under the wall cabinets, LED strips and LED cabinet lights are the perfect complement. You'll find more ideas in our kitchen lighting section.

How to choose an ultra-thin downlight for the kitchen

Color temperature

Neutral white (4000 K) works very well in the kitchen: it shows the true color of food without feeling cold. Cool white (6000 K) is useful in highly functional kitchens or those with little natural light.

Lumens per square meter

As a guide, allow around 250-300 lm per m² for general lighting and add extra light over the countertop. A 10 m² kitchen can be covered with 4 panels of 12 W or 3 of 18 W.

Suspended ceiling depth and cut-out

The big advantage of ultra-thin panels is that they need very little space above the ceiling. Check the cut-out diameter listed on each product page before making the holes.

Frequently asked questions

Can I replace the fluorescent lights in my kitchen with LED panels?

Yes. Several well-distributed ultra-thin panels provide more even light than a single central fluorescent fixture and use less energy.

Do ultra-thin panels get hot?

Very little. Their design dissipates heat across the whole surface and the driver is separate.
