Question 1

How much do spot lights cost in Nigeria?

Accepted Answer

The designs currently in stock at Lights Architect are priced at 35,000 and 65,000 naira. Price tracks the mounting type and driver quality rather than fixture size.

Question 2

What beam angle should I choose for a spot light?

Accepted Answer

15 to 24 degrees for highlighting a single artwork or feature from 1.5m to 3m away. 25 to 36 degrees for general accent lighting across a wall or display. 36 degrees and above for task light over a desk or counter.

Question 3

Should I choose a surface mount or recessed spot light?

Accepted Answer

Surface mount fixtures can be aimed and re-aimed after installation and suit an existing home. Recessed fixtures need 10cm to 15cm of ceiling depth and give a flush finish, better suited to a new build or full renovation.

Question 4

Can spot lights replace a main ceiling light?

Accepted Answer

Not on their own in most rooms. Spot lights are an accent or task layer aimed at a specific surface rather than a general light source, and are usually paired with a ceiling light for the room's main light.

Question 5

Can spot lights be used outdoors in Nigeria?

Accepted Answer

Only if rated for it. Standard indoor spot lights corrode quickly in Lagos humidity and rain, so a facade, gate or garden feature needs a sealed outdoor fixture instead.

Beam angle	Best for
15° to 24° (narrow)	Highlighting a single painting, sculpture or architectural detail from 1.5m to 3m away. The tighter the beam, the more dramatic the contrast with the surrounding wall.
25° to 36° (medium)	General accent lighting across a feature wall, bookshelf or display cabinet, where you want even coverage without washing out the whole room.
36° and above (wide)	Task lighting over a desk, kitchen counter or reading area, where the goal is usable light rather than drama.
