Description
The Astim is a rectangular surface-mounted LED downlight drawing 8W and producing 690 lumens of neutral white 4000K light. Measuring 400 x 100 mm, it runs direct from 220 to 240V AC mains. The wide asymmetric beam, 120 degrees across and 105 degrees along, spreads light evenly rather than throwing a tight spot. American buyers shopping for a recessed can light or surface can light will find this serves the same purpose while fixing flush to the ceiling surface, so no cut-out is needed.
The neutral 4000K tone keeps detail crisp, which makes the Astim a good fit for bathrooms, hallways, utility areas and kitchens. At general lighting levels it covers around 2 m², so several units work well spaced along a corridor or above a worktop. Its IP44 rating means it copes with splashes and damp air, suiting bathroom zones and sheltered outdoor positions such as a porch or carport. Keep it clear of fully exposed locations, direct water jets and any submerged use, where a higher rating is required.
The body is aluminium alloy in a white finish, weighing 180g, with a slim 44 mm depth that sits neatly on the ceiling. It is surface mounted, so it screws to the surface rather than recessing into a hole. The fitting is not dimmable, giving a steady 690 lumens at 86 lm/W, and the integrated LED is rated for 25,000 hours. CRI Ra 80 gives faithful colour for everyday tasks.

Frequently Asked
Does this downlight need a ceiling cut-out?
No. The Astim is a surface-mounted fitting, so it screws directly onto the ceiling surface rather than recessing into a hole. This makes it useful where joists, ducting or a solid ceiling make a recessed cut-out impractical.
Can it be used in a bathroom?
Yes, within the right zone. Its IP44 rating means it resists splashes and damp air, so it suits bathroom areas and sheltered outdoor spots like a porch. It should not be fitted where it will face direct water jets or full exposure to the weather.
Is the Astim dimmable?
No, this model is not dimmable and gives a constant 690 lumens at 4000K neutral white. If you need adjustable brightness, choose a dimmable fitting paired with a compatible dimmer switch.
How should I clean it?
Wipe the white aluminium body and lens with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth once the light is switched off and cool. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can dull the white finish over time.
