Description
The Barranco is a set of three round recessed downlights in a satin nickel finish, each with a plastic body that sits neatly into the ceiling. Every downlight is 9cm across and needs a cut-out 6.8cm across, with 8.5cm of clear depth above the ceiling. Each one takes a GU10 lamp at 4.5W and gives 345lm, so a run of three spreads an even wash of light across a room. The IP rating is IP20, and that settles where they belong: indoors, in dry rooms only.
We like them in a line across a kitchen ceiling, along a hallway or spaced through a living room, where a few small points of light share the work of a single central pendant without anything hanging from the ceiling. The slim satin nickel rim reads as a soft metallic ring against white plaster, so the fittings stay quiet and let the room take the attention. Set one close to a wall and it throws a gentle pool of light across a picture or a shelf. Because the rating is IP20, keep them away from bathrooms, showers and anywhere outdoors.
The body is plastic with a satin nickel finish, and there is no switch on the fitting itself, as the lights are switched at the wall. They run on a mains supply of 220-240V, 50/60Hz, carry an energy class of F, and the set weighs 0.426KG packed. Because they are wired into the mains, a qualified electrician should fit them, and the installation instructions come as a download. Before you order, check the space above your ceiling, because that 8.5cm recess depth is the figure that decides whether they fit.

Frequently Asked
What size hole does each downlight need?
Each downlight needs a ceiling cut-out 6.8cm across, while the satin nickel rim itself is 9cm across, so the rim is wider than the opening.
How much depth is needed above the ceiling?
Allow a recess depth of 8.5cm in the void above the ceiling, so check that space before you order the set.
Can these downlights go in a bathroom?
No. They are rated IP20, which means indoors and dry only, so keep them away from bathrooms, showers and outdoor spaces.
How bright is each light?
Each light takes a GU10 lamp at 4.5W and gives 345lm, so the three together give a broad, even spread across a room.
What material is the body?
The body is plastic with a satin nickel finish, a soft metallic colour that sits quietly against a white ceiling.
Is there a switch on the downlights?
There is no switch on the fittings themselves, so the three lights are switched at the wall instead.
