Description
A small round recessed light with a hooded eyelid front, which shields the LED and pushes light down the wall rather than out into your eyes. The face measures 80mm across, so it reads as a neat dark circle by day and a soft warm white wash after dark. The 3W integrated LED and its driver are supplied together, so there is nothing further to buy, and the output is gentle rather than bright: enough to mark a level or an edge, not to flood a garden.
We use lights like this where a surface fitting would be in the way, alongside steps, down the side of a path, at low level in a boundary wall or across the front of a garden room. Weather rated for outdoor positions, it will cope with rain and wind on an exposed elevation, and it is just as good in a covered porch or a passage between two houses. The warm white tone keeps brickwork and render looking mellow rather than clinical, and a run of them along a wall gives a quiet rhythm of light at ankle height. It is not dimmable, so pair it with a switch or a timer circuit.
The sand black finish is a fine matt texture that shrugs off fingerprints and dust, and it holds its own against grey stone, timber cladding and dark render. Cleaning is a wipe of the face with a damp cloth once the light is off and cool, with any grit brushed away from the rim. It carries a three year warranty. The LED is built in, so there is no lamp to change. We stock the round eyelid in sand white and anthracite as well, and the same eyelid front is offered in a square version if your detailing calls for straight edges.

Frequently Asked
How much light does it give out?
Around 210 lumens from a 3W LED, in a warm white 3000K tone. That is an accent level of light for marking steps, paths and low walls, so plan on several along a run rather than one doing all the work.
Can it be dimmed?
No, it is a non-dimmable fitting. Switch it on a standard circuit, or use a timer or photocell arrangement if you want it to come on at dusk.
What are the dimensions of the fitting?
The visible face is 80mm in diameter and the body is 85mm tall. It is a light unit at roughly 0.2kg.
Do I need to buy a separate driver?
No. The driver is supplied with the light, and the LED is integrated rather than a replaceable lamp.
Is it suitable for a fully exposed wall?
Yes. It holds an IP65 rating, which covers dust and jets of water, so rain and wind driven weather are no problem.
How long should the LED last?
It is rated at 30,000 hours, with a three year warranty on the product.
