Astim 600x100 12W Linear Downlight IP44 - White

The Astim is a surface-mounted LED downlight with a long rectangular form, measuring 600 x 100 mm and drawing 12W to deliver 1070 lumens of neutral white 4000K light. The wide asymmetric beam of 120 deg x 105 deg spreads the output broadly rather than focusing it into a tight spot, so the linear shape washes light across a surface evenly. Buyers searching US listings will recognise the format as a surface-mount recessed-style can light, here built as a slim rectangular bar rather than a round fitting.

Its proportions suit areas where an even strip of light is wanted without a recess, such as above a bathroom mirror, along a hallway soffit, over a kitchen worktop run or beneath a covered porch. At general lighting levels the 1070 lumen output covers around 4 m², which makes it well suited to compact zones and accent runs rather than as a sole ceiling source for a large room. On standard and lower ceilings the surface body sits proud rather than dropping into the void, so it works where there is no space to cut in a recessed unit.

The body is aluminium alloy in a white finish, helping it disappear against a pale ceiling or wall while drawing heat away from the LED. It carries an IP44 rating, so it stands up to splashes and damp and is happy in bathroom zones and sheltered outdoor positions like a porch or carport, though it should be kept clear of direct water jets and fully exposed sites. The fitting runs on 220-240V AC mains and surface-mounts directly to the ceiling or wall; it is not dimmable, and the rated lifespan is 25,000 hours. The Astim range carries further sizes for matching a run of fittings.

What is the cut-out size for this downlight?

The Astim is a surface-mounted fitting, so there is no cut-out to make. It fixes directly onto the ceiling or wall surface, which makes it a good option where there is no ceiling void to recess a unit into. You only need fixing points and a cable feed.

Can this downlight be dimmed?

No, this model is not dimmable and runs at a fixed output of 1070 lumens. It is best paired with a standard on/off switch. If you need adjustable brightness, look to a dimmable model elsewhere in the range or a separate dimmable circuit.

Can I fit it in a bathroom or outside?

Yes, the IP44 rating means it resists splashes and damp, so it suits bathroom zones away from direct spray and sheltered outdoor spots such as a porch or carport. It should not be used in fully exposed positions, under direct water jets or anywhere it could be submerged.

How do I clean the fitting?

Wipe the white surface and lens with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry it off. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh solvents that could mark the aluminium finish. Always switch the power off and let the unit cool before cleaning.
