Globe LED Downlight vs Frameless Panel Light — Which One for Your Home? (Pakistan Guide 2026)
When you walk into a lighting shop in Pakistan — or browse online — two types of ceiling lights dominate: the Globe LED downlight (also called moon light or ice light) and the frameless panel light. Both fit into false ceilings. Both save electricity. Both come with 1-year warranty from Deltalite. So which one should you choose?
This guide will help you decide — room by room, budget by budget.
What Is a Globe LED Downlight (Moon Light)?
The Globe downlight has a round, frosted glass or plastic diffuser that gives a soft, wide, shadow-free beam of light. It is recessed into your false ceiling with only the round face visible. The light spreads evenly across the room — ideal for creating a warm, ambient atmosphere.
Also known as: Moon light, ice light, SMD downlight with round cover, frameless moon light, gol downlight.
Available sizes:
- 7W — 3 inch hole — Rs.285 — for small rooms up to 100 sq ft
- 12W — 3 inch hole — Rs.315 — for medium rooms 100-200 sq ft
- 18W — 4 inch hole — Rs.560 — for large rooms 200+ sq ft
Best for: Bedrooms, drawing rooms, lounge areas, corridors, TV lounges — anywhere you want soft, ambient lighting with a premium look. Shop all Globe LED Downlights.
What Is a Frameless Panel Light?
A frameless panel light is a flat, circular or square panel that sits completely flush with your false ceiling — no raised edges, no visible rim. The entire surface of the panel glows uniformly, producing a very clean, architectural look.
Available sizes:
- 12W — 4 inch — Rs.549 — small rooms
- 18W — 6 inch — Rs.865 — medium rooms
- 24W — 6 inch — Rs.899 — larger, brighter rooms
- 32W — 8 inch — Rs.1,699 — large drawing rooms, high ceilings
Best for: Kitchens, home offices, study rooms, bathrooms, modern minimalist interiors, commercial spaces. Shop all Frameless Panel Lights.

Room-by-Room Recommendation
Bedroom
Go for Globe downlight. The soft, warm white (3000K) Globe 3-inch creates the perfect bedroom ambiance. Use 2 to 4 lights depending on room size.
Drawing Room / Lounge
Globe downlights as main lights, frameless panels as accent. Use 12W Globe downlights for the main ceiling area. Add a 24W or 32W frameless panel as a central focal point.
Kitchen
Frameless panel light. Kitchens need bright, uniform, shadow-free light for food preparation. A 24W 6-inch frameless panel in natural white (4000K) is the ideal choice.
Office or Study Room
Frameless panel light in natural white (4000K). Natural white reduces eye strain during long reading and screen sessions.
Bathroom
Frameless panel or small Globe downlight. Either works well depending on ceiling height and personal preference.
Shop or Commercial Space
Frameless panels or 2x2 panels. Use 24W frameless panels for small shops; 48W 2x2 backlit panels for offices, banks, hospitals, and showrooms with grid ceilings.
