Description
This is a 13W recessed downlight with its LED module built in, so there is no separate lamp to buy or replace. A frosted diffuser sits across the full face of the trim, spreading 1,300 lumens evenly rather than letting you look straight at the diodes, which is what keeps a downlight comfortable under a low ceiling. It is a tri-white fitting: a selector on the body lets you pick one of three white settings before the unit goes up, so the same fitting can be set warm in a bedroom and cooler over a worktop. The body and trim are white and the fitting is rated IP54.
IP54 means protection against dust and against water splashed from any direction, and the manufacturer rates this fitting for bathroom zones 2 and 3. That covers the ceiling above a basin or beside a bath, outside the immediate shower area; check your own layout against the zones before you commit. Away from the bathroom it suits kitchens, hallways and landings, where the 90 degree beam gives a broad, even wash of light rather than a tight pool. A loop in and out terminal is fitted, so a run of several downlights can be wired through from one to the next without a junction box at every position.
The fitting is not dimmable, so pair it with a standard switch rather than a dimmer plate. Colour temperature is chosen on the unit itself, and the manufacturer does not print the Kelvin figures behind the three white settings. Each listing is a single downlight and the minimum order is one, so you can buy exactly the number a ceiling needs. Our wider downlight range sits alongside it, including 12W, 18W and 24W CCT adjustable recessed round panel downlights, a quick connect GU10 downlight and a 2W non-maintained emergency downlight.

Frequently Asked
Can I use this downlight in a bathroom?
Yes. It is rated IP54 and the manufacturer states it is suitable for zones 2 and 3 only, so it can go above a basin or beside a bath but not inside the shower enclosure itself.
How do I choose the colour temperature?
It is CCT adjustable, with three white settings picked on a selector on the body of the unit before it goes into the ceiling. The manufacturer does not print the Kelvin figures for those three settings.
Will it work on a dimmer switch?
No. The specification states it is not dimmable, so wire it to an ordinary switch. Running a non-dimmable driver from a dimmer plate can cause flicker and shorten the life of the electronics.
Do I need to buy a bulb for it?
No. The LED is integrated into the fitting, so there is no cap to match and no lamp to replace later. The 13W draw and 1,300 lumen output are the fitting's own.
What does loop in and out wiring mean here?
The terminal block accepts both the incoming supply and an outgoing feed, so several downlights on the same circuit can be chained from one fitting to the next without a separate junction box at each point.
What size hole does it need?
The manufacturer does not state a cut-out diameter or an overall size for this fitting, so measure the unit itself before cutting into a ceiling, particularly if you are replacing an older downlight.
